Nation IN BRIEF : COLORADO : Denver Teachers Planning on Strike
- Share via
Teachers in Denver planned for a strike Monday despite a threat from Gov. Roy Romer to invoke a labor law making a walkout illegal. Negotiations resumed, but both sides said they were far apart. School officials and negotiators for the 3,200-member Denver Classroom Teachers Assn. accused each other of failing to compromise. If the two sides don’t reach an agreement, Romer vowed to invoke a state law that he said allows him to impose a contract. Romer could then begin hearings on issues such as teacher pay, the length of the workday and some reform measures.
