by Alex THE STATE of New Jersey has opened a campaign of political vengeance against members of the Newark Teachers' Union.
Since the end of November almost 200 teachers have been jailed.
Their offence? Participating in the 1970 NTU strike.
The courts have given members of the leadership up to three months' jail while other supporters have been thrown behind bars for ten to 20 days.
The prison terms are only part of the assault on the NTU.
The union is paying off a fine of $270,000 and has assumed responsibility for fines totalling $100,000 against individual teachers.
Responsibility for the defeats of the NTU lies primarily on the shoulders of Charles Marciante and other leaders of the AFL-CIO (American TUC).
It was their refusal to carry out their pledge to call a Géneral Strike of Newark labour in defence of the NTU that made it possible for Mayor Gibson to break the teachers' strike.
The isolation of the NTU has persisted right through the jailings.
