SHICKSHINNY, LUZERNE COUNTY- The two sides in the Northwest Area teachersŐ strike have been ordered to start talking.
Judge Thomas Burke ordered the union and the school district to begin negotiations starting tonight. They have to meet at least 8 times every two weeks until an agreement is reached.
The teachers were planning a second strike this year, but it was stopped by an injunction.
