SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — Teachers at one of Pennsylvania's 25 biggest school districts could strike on the first day of school.
Union president Rosemary Boland told The Times-Tribune of Scranton (http://bit.ly/1kRrnVb ) on Monday that a strike is possible if there's no contract by the time school starts.
Boland spokes after the school board rejected an arbitrator's fact-finding report.
Salary remains a major obstacle in the current contract that expires at the end of August.
Boland says the union's membership has already voted to authorize a strike. The district serves about 10,000 students.
