Public school teachers in Portland, Oregon, went on strike for the first time ever, demanding better pay and improved student support. The strike, organized by the Portland Association of Teachers, resulted in the closure of 81 schools. The union is calling for more counselors, more planning time for teachers, more support for special education students, smaller class sizes, and better pay. The strike was prompted by the challenges faced by teachers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, the pay gap between public school teachers and other professionals reached its widest level since 1960.
