Earlier Post:
Striking teachers in Dixon, Illinois say they're ready to return to the bargaining table. In a news release issued Tuesday afternoon the Dixon Education Association said a federal mediator has called for new talks and teachers are ready and available to meet at any time. However, in a news releaseissued earlier, the Dixon School Board said after five hours of talks Monday night, the bargaining team for teachers walked out and indicated members wouldn't return until the school board accepts their latest offer. According to the school board, that offer includes an average four percent salary increase each year over the next four years.
Teachers walked out on February 28th after working without a contract since August. The teachers union says several items in the dispute have been settled during the last few negotiation sessions. For their side, remaining items include class size, length of instructional year, compensation and insurance. KWQC-TV6 is in Dixon talking to both sides and will update negotiations.
