Pinckneyville Teachers Reach Tentative Agreement, Avoid Strike

PINCKNEYVILLE - The Pinckneyville Elementary Education Association has reached a tentative agreement and will hold a ratification vote rather than go on strike, association President Jacky Blum said in a statement.

“We’ve reached a tentative agreement that we believe is truly best for our educators, our students and our community,” Blum said. “At this point, we will not be going on strike. Instead, we’ll hold a ratification vote on our tentative agreement.”

The statement did not include the agreement’s terms or specify when the ratification vote would take place.

Blum also thanked parents, students and neighbors for their support.

“We are so grateful for the community support during this difficult time,” Blum said.
