"Striking teachers, school district resume bargaining"

Dublin Core

Title

"Striking teachers, school district resume bargaining"

Description

A clipping from the Register Pajaronian describing a teachers' strike at Pajaro Valley School District in 1973. Modesto Orlando Tuzon organized a student walkout at Watsonville High School in support of the teachers' strike. At the time, the teachers' union of the Pajaro Valley School Distrct was negotiating a new contract. The walkout was orchestrated to get students out of school. The strike ended the weekend after the walkout. Linda Ardell Tuzon (a reading specialist at Hall School in Las Lomas) crossed the picket line and was heckled by the striking union. She was in CSEA (California School Employees Association) for non-certificated employees. It was an acrimonious time in Watsonville on the heels of agricultural labor organizing.
