1946 Saint Paul teachers' strike

The 1946 Saint Paul teachers' strike was a strike by public school teachers in Saint Paul, Minnesota in late 1946. The strike began on November 25,[1] and 1165 teachers took part until its end on December 27.[2] The strike is considered one of the first teachers' strikes in American history.[3] Elmer L. Andersen described the strike as being "absolutely unheard of," saying that "it is inconceivable to people today what a shock it was then to have teachers go out on strike."[4] Teachers in Saint Paul did not go on strike again until 2020.[5]
