Gateway Education Association Votes To Authorize A Strike

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The Gateway Education Association in the Gateway School District voted to authorize a strike.

The association says its teachers, counselors and nurses have been working under an expired contract since July 1 of last year.

They say the school board is dragging its feet in negotiations, so after a vote, they can now call for a strike if they feel it becomes necessary to reach a fair deal.

They also say they've been negotiation for an agreement since Jan. 2020 and are hopeful a strike won't be needed.
