RUSSIAN TEACHERS LAUNCH NATIONWIDE STRIKE.

Publication: Monitor Volume: 3 Issue: 9

Schools across Russia failed to open yesterday after the mid-winter holiday as teachers went on strike to demand their unpaid wages. Some have not been paid for as long as nine months. In Moscow, strikers picketed the Russian government building. But schools in the capital were open since most teachers there have been paid on time. (Interfax, Itar-Tass, January 13)
