According to Reuters (9/15, Myers), on Wednesday a judge in Tacoma, WA, ordered the 1,900 public teachers in Tacoma who went on strike Tuesday to go back to work, effective immediately.
The AP (9/15, Subscription Publication) reports that "Tacoma School District officials said classes will resume Thursday, with the district's 28,000 students to report two hours later than normal," and that both sides, as part of the judge's order, will go back to the bargaining table as soon as they can. Although some "teachers boasted to reporters that they would not follow the judge's order," the union's leaders and other union members said their focus was on getting negotiations to resume.
