Fight Back!: How did this strike compare to 2012? What you were demanding? What was won?
Sarah Chambers: There were a lot of similarities between 2012 and this year’s strike, because we were fighting for a lot of the same things: smaller class sizes, more staffing, wrap-around services, stronger protections.
