Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released a statement regarding the Scranton teachers’ union strike:
“Educators in the Scranton teachers’ union have been working without a contract and without a raise for five years. I urge both sides to stay at the negotiating table to try to come to a fair agreement for our kids, our teachers, other school professionals, taxpayers and the district. All parties need to keep working until the issues are resolved. Especially after the pandemic disrupted their education, we need to redouble our efforts to ensure that our kids can learn and thrive,” said Senator Casey.
