Educators in West Virginia are letting the governor know that, despite his wishes, the #WVTeacherStrike is not over.
Last night, on the 4th day of the #WVTeacherStrike, @WVGovernor announced that teachers would receive a 5% pay increase next year, and all state employees would get a 3% raise. He was hoping the deal would end the strike.
