For days now, educators on the North Shore of Massachusetts have fought for new contracts, forcing students out of the classroom. Well, after a long day of bargaining sessions, there’s still no contract agreements in all three communities.In Beverly, the school committee says it provided the teachers union with a three-year offer that includes raises, increased parental leave, and faster step increases. They say they union countered with a four-year contract proposal.
In Gloucester, there have been no new wage proposals since before the strike began, and the two sides are still roughly $800,000 apart on salaries. “We were informed that the Gloucester Teachers Association will not be putting forward a counter wage proposal," Gloucester Mayor Greg Verga said."Not only is this counterproductive to the negotiation process, but it severely limits our ability to make any formal progress toward finding a solution.”
