明尼苏达州教师在预算缺口中投票98.5%,以罢免工资和健康费用。 Minnesota teachers vote 98.5% to strike over pay and health costs amid budget gap.

明尼苏达州Anoka-Hennepin学校区的教师代表了3,000多名教育工作者,他们投了98.5%的赞成票,赞成在合同谈判失败时允许罢工。 Teachers in Minnesota’s Anoka-Hennepin School District, representing over 3,000 educators, have voted 98.5% in favor of authorizing a strike if contract talks fail. 造成这一变化的原因是,在2 100万美元的区预算缺口下,对工资停滞和22%的医疗保险费上涨的争议。 The move stems from disputes over stagnant pay and a 22% health insurance premium increase, amid a $21 million district budget gap. 工会说,投票反映了强烈的团结以及要求公平赔偿和改善工作条件的要求。 The union says the vote reflects strong unity and demands for fair compensation and better working conditions. 可在下周尽早提出正式的罢工通知,启动为期10天的冷却期,可能从2026年1月开始退出。 A formal strike notice could be filed as early as next week, triggering a 10-day cooling-off period, with a potential walkout beginning in January 2026. 该区尚未发布公众回应。 The district has not yet issued a public response.
