Nation IN BRIEF / MICHIGAN : Detroit Teachers Return to Work
From Times Wire Reports
Detroit’s teachers ended a nine-day strike and finally welcomed back 180,000 students from summer vacation. The students lost six days of school to the strike by the 11,500-member union. The teachers agreed Wednesday to go back to work after the union and the school board reached a tentative contract over the Labor Day weekend. The teachers fought off such reform measures proposed by the board as merit pay and a longer school day. The teachers must ratify the deal.
