St. Louis Teachers’ Union Loses Confidence in School Administration

The teachers union in St. Louis has voted no confidence in the administration of the city school system. About 600 union members have taken part in the election. A union spokesman says the vote was unanimous. The vote has been taken after more than one-thousand teachers were told they will have to reapply for their jobs under a reorganization of the district. The school district says teachers probably won’t lose their jobs, but they might be teaching at a different school, or teaching a different subject, or even a different grade.
