The teachers union in Andover is facing hefty fines for every day teachers stay off the job. In Massachusetts, it’s against the law for educators to strike.
Salem Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Karp slapped the Andover Education Association with a $50,000 fine Monday for violating a court order to end the strike. That fine goes up another $10,000 each additional day.
Schools in Andover will be closed again on Tuesday, November 14. It will be the third day the approximately 5,600 students in the district will miss classes.
