Oklahoma Teachers Plan Tentative Walkout on April 2, on Heels of West Virginia Strike
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in Oklahoma, teachers are tentatively planning to walk out of
schools statewide on April 2, unless lawmakers approve increases to
their salaries. A recent report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows
teachers in Oklahoma have the lowest average wages of any U.S. state.
The proposed strike in Oklahoma comes on the heels of a historic
teachers' strike in West Virginia.
