2007 Quincy Teacher Strike
- 2007 Quincy Teacher Strike
Starting on June 8, 2007, the teachers of the Quincy Public Schools began to strike because of pay cuts and health benefit cuts. Paul Phillips led the strike and represented the strikers on the local television station, QATV. The strike ended after nearly a week of deadlock, when the courts ruled the strike to be illegal. The teachers were told by court officials that they would be fined $150,000 dollars" per day", if they didn't stop immediately. They stopped, but not without making their complaints heard. It has been suggested that the judge who ruled in the mayor's favor is a relative of ex-mayor Phelan.
Aftermath
The strike caused the final day of school to be delayed, postponing graduation ceremonies and various other events. The strike is commonly said to be a cause of Mayor Phelan's major defeat in the November mayoral elections.
