A $25,000 fine was levied on the NTA for failing to comply with a court order and end its strike by 8 p.m. Monday. That fine will double each day this week if the strike extends past nightly 8 p.m. deadlines, according to Chris Brezski of the Newton School Committee. The fine could grow to $200,000 by the end of the week.
Members of the NTA say they have been working without a contract since August. Their stated goals are to win better wages for instructional aides and behavior therapists, place social workers in every elementary school, get 'humane and modern paid family leave' for all educators, and negotiate fair cost-of-living adjustments for teachers.
