Pueblo teachers’ union votes to approve new contract deal
The Pueblo Education Association has voted to approve the latest contract offer from District 60.
It means the teacher strike has ended.
The deal includes a 2 percent COLA effective immediately and retroactive to January 1st. The district will pay teachers for three of the days they were on strike. The two other strike days will count as teachers’ personal time or they will work additional days. For the upcoming school year, union members will see a 2.5 percent COLA, and 50 additional dollars toward health insurance.
Teachers and their supporters spent five days picketing around the Steel City, calling for more money. The union rejected the first few offers from District 60.
