Rob Walker, left, and Chris Galgay, both of the Maine Education Association, join Auburn teachers during a solidarity vigil outside Auburn City Hall on Wednesday evening. About 125 people gathered to show their support for a new contract prior to the start of the Auburn School Committee meeting. Auburn teachers have been working without a contract since Aug. 2008, said union president Timothy Wegmann, a special education teacher at Park Avenue Elementary School. Teachers gathered "to let the school committee know we stand together," said Wegmann.
