In a decision that could upend any plans to disrupt the opening of school across Massachusetts, the state labor relations board has ruled that Andover teachers engaged in an unlawful strike when they refused to enter school buildings last week for training.
The board immediately ordered leaders of the Andover Education Association and its members to desist from engaging in any strike, work stoppage, slowdown, or any other kind of action that involves withholding services.
The ruling comes after the Massachusetts Teachers Association, the American Federation of Teachers Massachusetts, and the Boston Teachers Union have been instructing members not to enter school buildings unless state and local officials can prove they are safe.
