Tens of thousands of Los Angeles school workers began a three-day strike over “unfair labor practices” and low pay on Tuesday, shutting down the nation’s second-largest school system.
Tens of thousands of Los Angeles Unified School District employees went on strike early Tuesday morning after attempts to make a deal between the district and the union for school support staff failed.
Negotiations between LAUSD, the largest school district in the country, and Service Employees International Union Local 99, which represents LAUSD support staff like custodians, cafeteria workers and bus drivers, broke down last week. The union on Monday then accused the district of leaking a confidential mediation meeting that was scheduled for Monday to the press.
"We want to be clear that we are not in negotiations with LAUSD," SEIU Local 99 added."We continue to be engaged in the impasse process with the state." Carvalho said Monday that the strike was not called"on the basis of economic conditions or compensation demands," but said it was instead called because of"allegations of unfair treatment." However, workers whomentioned a living wage as a major demand, with one saying the demands include a 30% pay increase along with increased staffing and more hours for part-time workers.
