‘Everybody has eyes on Newton’: The teachers strike is over, but more fights are on the horizon

This note from the Boston Globe includes a quote to Mimi Lyon.

Teachers strikes, once a rarity in Massachusetts, are rising at a faster clip here than the rest of the country, according to Melissa Arnold Lyon, assistant professor at the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at University at Albany, SUNY. Lyon has tracked roughly 750 teachers strikes across the nation since 2007: Seven occurred in Massachusetts — all of them since 2019, Lyon said.

“That’s the way that labor actions happen sometimes,” Lyon said. “It only becomes an option once you see it happen.”
