It’s been more than 40 years since the Columbus, Ohio public school teachers have gone on strike, but that streak has now come to an end as the educators in Ohio’s largest city announced a walkout this week. And unlike most strikes, pay is not a central issue – instead the teachers of Columbus are insisting on air conditioning in the classrooms, a solution to vermin infestations and a return to teaching art, PE and music. And this strike may be just the bellwether of more similar labor actions to come across the country.
Jimmy Dore and comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the challenging conditions public school teachers are expected to work under.
