Back to school ~ Stephannie Hernandez

Summary ~
With  The promise of more money and smaller classes, striking Oakland teachers return to school. Two agreements: 1) 3% retroactive bonus. 2) raises for 2018-19 and 2020-21 school years.  Oakland teachers are the lowest paid in the bay area and would spend most of their salary for a place to live. Their fight isn’t over, they are trying to accomplish more things.

Analysis~
Date/time: March 4,2019, teachers will be back in class Monday
Prior knowledge~  I knew that there was teachers on strike because I previously did an article about this subject. In this article a group of teachers have achieved their goals and want to push them even further. This reminds me back when rail road workers would go on strike to get a higher wage .
