"Denver Teachers Union Plans to Strike If Demand of $100,000 Base Salary for Senior Teachers Is Not Met"

From the article:


“The current pact between the district and the Denver Classroom Teachers Association expires Jan. 18 and the union said its members are prepared to walk out of classrooms the next day if an agreement is not reached on time. DPS last week offered a new salary structure that would boost the salary for first-year teachers by nearly 8 percent, to $45,000 annually.

But the DPS package still falls short of a long-stated union goal of paying a teacher with 20 years of positive evaluations and a doctorate a base salary of $100,000 a year.”
