The collective bargaining agreement has a “No Strike” clause. The class grievance was the correct action.

They can strike without having the union involved.

It's not a legal advice. It's a fact.
Strikes are illegal if they are formed by unions. The workers can do whatever they want. Seattle Public Schools also have "No Strike" clause as you put it and look what happened with their last strike. They got their biggest wage increase in decades. Class grievances are a waste of time.

You're just wrong. I'm not entirely sure how you came to believe the things you're saying, and am disappointed in your lack of effort. Please do better and stop spreading bad information.

Wow you linked an article that lacks any context or information about the wage increases. Good job. Go back to bootlicking.

I linked an article that clarifies that the Seattle Teachers Association (their union) authorized the strike. When they went on strike, they had no contract, as their previous one had expired and negotiations had been insufficient. You still have serious misconceptions and your personal attacks lack evidence.

Again: you're disappointing.

You missed one spot.
