--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Minnesota, thousands of union teachers and other school staff in the
city of Saint Paul began a strike Tuesday after contract talks with the
city's school district broke down. The St. Paul Federation of Educators,
which represents some 3,600 educators and school staff, are demanding
funding for mental health services for students, as well as more
multilingual interpreters and special education funding.
