Teachers picket outside Beverly, Mass. High School after going on strike, Friday Nov. 8, 2024, in Beverly, Mass. BOSTON — Teachers in two Massachusetts school districts went on strike Friday over pay, paid parental leave and other issues.
“Between the lack of support for our students and the poverty pay for our paraprofessionals, the educators in Beverly say enough is enough,” Julia Brotherton, co-president of the Beverly Teachers Association, said in a statement. “We want to make it clear that the School Committee does not condone the illegal actions of the BTA,” she said, referring to the teachers union. “We will work with state officials to minimize the disruption to our students’ education and we urge all teachers and staff to return to school. We call on the BTA to end their illegal strike and join us in working with the mediator to negotiate in good faith.
Strikes by teachers are rare in Massachusetts, partly because state law bans public sector employees from striking.
