      A few weeks ago, I asked why teachers weren't striking like the students were. Several people told me it was illegal so it'd never happen. Now: an "illegal" strike in WV, and a planned strike in OK, where it is "illegal" to plan such an action.

      ??? Teachers have labor strikes all the time. The current strike in WV and the possible one in OK are labor dispute. It's a formal process that involves union members voting to decide whether or not they will strike. Has nothing to do with the students' walkouts.

      I think you need to read up on labor unions more carefully.

      What I said: 2 weeks ago I asked why teachers won't strike in solidarity with students, the response I got was it was illegal. Now: despite questionable legality, two states are holding or planning work stoppages (unrelated). My thesis: Legality is not a good blocker.

          One last thing, since you seem to be so ignorant of how the rest of this works: when people say it would be "illegal" for the teachers to participate in a political walkout they don't mean the teachers would go to jail, they mean the teachers would be fired. Unions. Look them up.

          Legit question: why isn't the NEA calling for a nationwide strike at this moment? What are unions if they do not exercise their power?

          It's illegal for teachers in CT to strike, so my union probably can't openly advocate for it.

          Their unions would have VOTED on those strikes. An spontaneous walkout not based on a labor dispute would be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Stop. You need to hear that you're talking about things you don't understand.

          You brought up the WV and possible OK strikes, which are labor disputes. Not the same as political protests.

          My original question was about a labor dispute, specifically worker safety. But you haven't stated a basis about why the distinction matters at all.

          It's called contract negotiation by unions and management and it's a process.
