Detroit teachers defied a judge’s order to return to work and continued picketing at schools around the city, as their strike began its third week.

The district, which is seeking $88 million in concessions from the teachers, issued a statement Sunday saying its latest offer called for a three-year contract with a wage cut in only the first year.
