The vote is in: Union leadership is now authorized to call a strike as long as a majority of the representatives from each school approve it first. The proposal won 75 percent approval last night.

The turnout was roughly the same as it was in January – 755 votes out of a membership of 2,800, including substitutes (according to OEA’s website). That’s roughly 25 percent.
