Teachers union in Portland, Oregon, votes to strike over class sizes, pay, lack of resources_我的网站

A |     PORTLAND, Ore. -- Teachers in Portland, Oregon, have voted to go on strike, their union announced Friday, in another sign of a growing national organized labor movement that's seen thousands of workers in various sectors walk off the job this year. The Portland Association of Teachers' strike would start Nov. 1 unless an agreement with the school district is reached before then. The union said nearly 99% of teachers voted in favor of the strike, with 93% of its members participating in the ballot. Teachers have cited large class sizes, salaries that have not kept up with inflation and a lack of resources as key concerns. The union has been bargaining for months with the district for a new contract, which expired in June.“Students need stability and experienced educators in our schools, but the high cost of living is pushing teachers to leave the district. I don’t know how I’m going to survive on a teacher salary in Portland and I’m at the top of the pay scale," said Shannon Kittrick, a high school educator, in an emailed statement from the union.Schools will close and there will be no classroom or online instruction if the strike takes place, according to the district, which said it wants to avoid such a scenario.“We want to reach a fair, sustainable settlement, and we will stay at the bargaining table as long as it takes to get there. We ask our educators to stay at the table with us, not close schools," Portland Public Schools said in an emailed statement.The district is the largest in Oregon with roughly 45,000 students.Public education has been gripped by a series of high-profile strikes this year. In the Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation's second-largest, workers including teachers' aides, cafeteria workers and custodians walked out for three days in March to demand better wages and increased staffing, shutting down education for half a million students.In Oakland, California, the union representing teachers, counselors, librarians and other workers went on strike for more than a week in May. In addition to typical demands such as higher salaries, it also pushed for “common good” changes, such as reparations for Black students and resources for students who are homeless.。    The International Emmy-nominated original series Four More Shots Please! is releasing its fourth and final season on December 19, 2025.

Damini has been a fun, liberating character to play for the last 8 years and I have literally grown up with her. As we close this chapter, I feel immense gratitude to the fans that stood by us, season after season with unbound love, affection and loyalty," shares Sayani Gupta.“Being a part of Four More Shots Please! has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career. Anjana’s journey – her strength, her flaws, her evolution – resonated with so many women across the world, and that love has carried us through four beautiful seasons. As we wrap this final chapter, my heart is full. This show became bigger than just a story. It became a voice. And that’s only because the fans held us, celebrated us, and kept us going from day one," expresses Kirti Kulhari.Maanvi Gagroo adds, "Four More Shots Please! didn’t just give me a character. It gave me a tribe. From the very first season, Siddhi found a place in people’s hearts, and that connection is something I continue to cherish deeply. Every woman who saw a bit of her younger self in Siddhi made this journey worth it. This season is a celebration of the fans who have grown with us, supported us, and continue to love us unconditionally."          Bani J says, "Umang has lived loudly. Loved loudly. Broken loudly. And rebuilt herself loudly. Fans embraced all her shades right from the beginning, and that love only grew stronger with every season. This finale is our way of giving back to everyone who rooted for this girl gang, who partied with them, cried with them, and celebrated with them."Also Read: ’I Never Believed in PR’: Kirti Kulhari on Full Plate, Four More Shots Please & More | Exclusive。
