February 11, 2019 Denver Public School Teachers Go on Strike ------------------------------------------ Denver public school teachers begin a strike today after 11th-hour negotiations between the teachers' union and the school district failed over the weekend. The Denver Classroom Teachers Association is demanding an increase in teachers' base salary rather than putting money in incentives and bonuses. This will be the city's first teachers' strike in 25 years. .
