Contract Struggle
Since August 31, 2007, the teachers at Burke Catholic have been operating without a contract. Their union, the Lay Faculty Association, and the Archdiocese of New York have been negotiating for over a year with no results. Teachers picketed throughout the 2007-2008 school year and a sick-out was held on January 10, 2008. Though as of late there have not been any picketing or sick-outs, the teachers are still operating without a contract.
