Judge orders fines against striking teachers and union

[rsmith6621]

KENT, Wash. - Striking teachers in the Kent School District and their union were ordered to pay fines for each day they remain on an illegal strike, a judge ruled Thursday.

Teachers were ordered to pay a fine of $200 per day, and the union was fined $1,500 a day.

The fines will be imposed starting Monday if the strike is not settled before then, said King County Superior Court Judge Andrea Darvas.

If the strike is not settled by then, the fines will be retroactive to Tuesday of this week, meaning that each teacher would face a minimum $1,000 fine, with $200 added for each day the strike continues.

Darvas said the strike is clearly illegal, and she has no choice but to order the teachers back into the classroom.
