Oakland teachers went on strike Thursday after seven days of negotiations failed to produce a new contract for the 3,000 members of the Oakland Education Association.
"They're neglecting their duty," OEA president Ismael Armendariz said outside Manzanita Elementary School. "The district and the union have been having productive conversations, but the school board has failed to meet give their chief negotiator the authority to bargain with us."
OUSD Board President Mike Hutchinson told KTVU that the district has presented the union with multiple responses to the union's demands in bullet-point format and has been bargaining in good faith. In its latest proposal, the district offered all teachers a pay increase of anywhere from 13% to 23%, depending on their years of experience.
