Twenty Years Ago: Round Lake Teacher Strike November 4, 1994-- Part 1

From my journal.  November 4, Friday.

"Still raining this morning.  Met the usual crowd at Dino's for breakfast).  T.B. was there as well and had written a good letter about how the board makes a lot of money paying teachers over 12 months instead of 9.

"Went by the rear entrance of the high school and watched the scabs come in.  S.G. and S.L. had gone to the scab rendezvous point at the Pizza Place and scared them so bad that they had fled to the Round Lake police department and they received a police escort onto school grounds.

"We just turned our backs on them.  I waved at R.R. and told her how I was disappointed in her action.

"Walked the line at Magee from 8 to 11:30.  H.H. bought a six foot sub sandwich which we shared on the line.  Rained most of the time.
