DETROIT (AP) — Educators in Detroit concerned about exposure to the COVID-19 virus in classrooms and hallways have given their union approval to call a “potential safety strike” in which teachers would agree to teach and work remotely.

The Detroit Federation of Teachers insists the strike would not be a work stoppage with the start of the school year looming. Rather, it said the aim is to press the public school district to implement science-based safety protocols during the coronavirus pandemic.
