Are Teachers Going on Strike?

Will Philly public school teachers strike after the first week of school? That’s what their union, the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, is threatening. Trenae Nuri visits the union offices in Center City to talk to PFT President Arthur Steinberg and LeShawna Coleman, PFT’s chief of staff, to find out what the teachers want in their new contract.  We’re doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners. We’d be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/survey—it’s only 7 minutes long. You’ll be doing us a big favor. Plus, anyone who takes the survey will be eligible to win a $250 Visa gift card–and City Cast Philly swag.
