OT:
Strike Earns N.J. Teachers Some Jail Time

<<<At the heart of the dispute is a demand by the school board that the union members pay a percentage of rising health benefits instead of a flat annual fee of $250. The strikers angrily respond that they will end up having to pay up to $600 extra for benefits, which would effectively cancel out wage increases. The teachers have been offered pay raises of 3.8%, 4% and 4.2% over three years.>>>
