Talk:2018 West Virginia teachers' strike

Re: "Involvement" of the IWW seems to be limited to issuing a press release according to the citation provided:

"One of the state’s more aggressive unions, the Industrial Workers of the World-West Virginia (“IWW-WV”), issued a press release castigating AFT, WVEA and WVSSPA leaders and mocking their declining membership. That press release reads, in part:"

It seems odd to count IWW as involved without evidence that they've done more than issue a press release - does IWW represent any of the teachers? Are they involved in strike resolution negotiations?

This quote makes it appear unlikely that IWW has any significant influence on the strike:

"This cross union solidarity raised the consciousness among many teachers of the need to perhaps consider uniting the associations in the future. The IWW is relatively new to West Virginia in the sense that we have no official chapter in the state and only a few disconnected members."

I think we need more confirmation that IWW might play some role before listing it as important in the article. 66.194.72.17 (talk) 23:28, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

IWW involvement
I agree with the above comments. It does not seem that the IWW's issuance of a statement on the strike merits placement in the opening paragraph. Perhaps the reference could be moved to a new section dealing with the various groupings involved in the strike?Verita.miner (talk) 10:46, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
