OLD FORGE -- Teachers are on strike in a school district in Lackawanna County.

The teachers in the Old Forge School District hit the picket line Monday morning.

They have been working without a contract for six years.

The teachers union says it's the longest unsettled contract in the state.

The main sticking points are money, benefits, and class sizes.

Teachers were on the picket line for three weeks in 2013.

The superintendent tells Newswatch 16 the current walk-out could last as long as 15 school days.
