Through strikes and lawsuits, several education unions are starting to take action against their districts ahead of the new school year.
On Sunday night, 94% of Columbus Education Association members in Ohio voted to go on strike effective Monday for the first time since 1975. The union represents nearly 4,500 teachers, librarians, nurses, counselors, psychologists and other education professionals in Columbus City Schools. School is to begin there Wednesday, which the district now plans as a fully remote learning day because of the strike.
