Hundreds of thousands of students in LASchools woke up to districtwide school closures as employees of the second-largest school district in the US began a huge three-day strike. Over 600,000 students from more than 1,000 schools are sitting at home.
The district's 30,000 service workers, members of the Service Employees International Union Local 99, began picketing on Tuesday as collective bargaining negotiations between the school district and the union have so far failed to reach an agreement. The walkout means more than 600,000 students from more than 1,000 schools are sitting at home.
“As LAUSD parents and workers, SEIU Local 99 members know a strike will be a sacrifice but the school district has pushed workers to take this action,” SEIU Local 99 Executive Director Max Arias said last week. “Families have been sacrificing for far too long on poverty wages. Students have been sacrificing for too long in school environments that are not clean, safe, or supportive for all. Too many workers have been subjected to harassment simply for demanding change.
“We do not need to debate or litigate the fact that during the pandemic, kids lost a lot of ground,” Carvalho tweeted."Reading and math proficiency were hit especially hard, particularly kids who are English language learners, students in poverty and students with disabilities.
In a follow-up tweet, the superintendent wrote that the union and the district can"find a solution that dignifies our workforce and avoids an unnecessary shutdown of schools while protecting the long term viability of the school system."
