CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The Latest on a bill to give West Virginia teachers a pay raise to end a strike (all times local):8:15 p.m. The three unions representing West Virginia teachers and service personnel say they will stay out on strike following the state Senate’s vote to cut the 5 per cent raises they negotiated with Gov. The bill originally included a 5 per cent raise for teachers, school service personnel and West Virginia State Police. The teachers’ strike across West Virginia is rolling into its second weekend with the state Senate planning to meet Saturday. Senators declined to take a vote Friday on whether the teachers will get the 5 per cent pay raise negotiated by Gov.
