Portland Teachers End Strike After Winning Higher Wages and Smaller Class Sizes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Oregon, thousands of teachers are expected to return to work today
after reaching a historic tentative agreement with the Portland Public
Schools district. The deal, reached Sunday, came more than three weeks
after teachers at 81 Portland-area schools walked out on strike. The
Portland Association of Teachers union said the tentative deal had
secured key wins, including demands for higher wages, class size limits
and more time to plan lessons.
