Teachers across the nation unite in demand for fair pay and contract negotiations

Teachers in Broward County, Florida, are demanding better pay, with protesters calling for a 9% increase. The Broward Teachers Union has been requesting a 7% pay increase since June, but the school district countered with a 1.7% offer. The school board recently voted against raising teachers' wages, despite an increase in state funding and a property tax referendum generating $177 million. The board instructed the superintendent to bring back a budget in January that includes the pay increase.
