February 14, 1951 – “Teachers Strike:
Schools that were closed since a strike that [began] January 23rd were
re-opened. The teachers had picketed up until a day before this date, demanding
a pay raise higher than the $100.00 a year offered by the school board once a
year. An agreement was made by [Minn.] Governor Luther W. Youngdahl to
intervene with Minnesota legislators in an effort to gain more financial
support for city’s schools. This strike had originally started with the
Janitors, but then eventually teachers were included in it as well.”
