Washington, July 29 (RHC)-- One of the largest United States teachers' union is authorising its members to strike if their schools plan to reopen without proper safety measures in the middle of the global pandemic.
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), which represents 1.7 million school employees, issued a resolution on Tuesday saying it will support any local chapter that decides to strike over reopening plans.
The group says school buildings should open only in areas where coronavirus infections are low enough and if schools enact certain safety measures.
