In results announced overnight, the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers says 97 percent of teachers and 98 percent of support staff voted in favor of a strike.

The Saint Paul Federation of Educators says 78 percent of its voting members supported a strike.

The votes do not mean teachers will strike right away, but they empower union leaders to call a strike. This is an MPR News morning update for Friday, February 18, 2022. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer.
