Puerto Rico teachers strike sparks clashes, arrests - At least 7 people are arrested in Puerto Rico as colleagues face off with one another.

Teachers turned against teachers and even students Monday as the island’s public-school-teacher strike entered its fifth day.

The strike, which was called after 30 months of failed negotiations between the Puerto Rico Teachers Federation and government education officials, quickly deteriorated into clashes between demonstrators and police. The situation seemed to calm down during the weekend, but that changed Monday as protesters showed up before dawn at several schools in the San Juan area and became more forceful in their attempt to persuade colleagues not to show up to work.
