Kent teachers' union to consider defying court order - Covington Reporter:
"The Kent Education Association Thursday afternoon announced it was giving the district 'one more opportunity to do the right thing' before making a decision whether or not to defy a court order to end their strike and return to school.
'We as educators know that students or school boards or districts need extra time to get it right,' KEA President Lisa Brackin Johnson.
The union called a membership meeting at Green River Community College Thursday in response to King County Superior Court Judge Andrea Darvas's decision that their week-long strike was illegal under washington law.
Darvas ordered the union to law down their picket signs and go back to their classrooms beginning Tuesday, with students expected to arrive Wednesday."
