In Washington, D.C., Howard University faculty have called off a planned three-day strike after agreeing to a tentative contract with the school’s administration. Faculty members have been demanding fair wages and improved working conditions for nontenure-track and adjunct educators. 

Meanwhile, in Sacramento, California, thousands of teachers and school staff went on strike Wednesday over low pay and staffing shortages. In Minneapolis, over 4,500 educators entered their 17th day on strike as negotiations with the school district continue.
