FYI: WV Teachers Strike Update and GoFundMe [View all]

Today the WV Teachers Strike reached settlement. The outcome: the 5% pay increase demand was met; a temporary 14- month freeze was put on escalating health insurance rate increases; and a new 'task force' will review and decide on health insurance costs teachers have to pay by next year.

I just noticed the WV Teachers Strike Fund-GoFundMe in an article in this group. So I'm posting in case there's interest.
The Fund has and still is receiving donations and generous support for the many costs related to the eight day walk out.

Note Comments from contributors in LA, PA, MD, CT, Australia and more.

Stay Strong!
