Los Angeles teachers kicked off a three-day strike against 'unfair labor practices' and pay raises on Tuesday, shutting down the nation's second-largest school districts. Read more:
"Unfortunately, LAUSD broke that confidentiality by sharing it with the media before our bargaining team, which makes all decisions, had a chance to discuss how to proceed. This is yet another example of the school district's continued disrespect of school workers. We are ready to strike. We want to be clear that we are not in negotiations with LAUSD. We continue to be engaged in the impasse process with the state.
The union is expected to start picketing at 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday. On Monday, Arias said in a statement:"Despite LAUSD's misleading statements in the media and threats against workers who are exercising their right to take action, our movement is only growing stronger. Teachers, students and parents in the district are standing with school workers and their right to take action—free from fear—to bargain for better wages and increased staffing in our schools.
LAUSD education workers strike March 21-23. Pictured, SEIU 99 and UTLA Rally at Grand Park, March, 15, 2023The school district has offered a 5 percent wage increase retroactive to July 2021, another 5 percent increase retroactive to July 2022 and a further 5 percent increase effective July 2023. Additionally, it has offered a 4 percent bonus in 2022-23 and a 5 percent bonus in 2023-24. Carvalho called it"one of the strongest offers ever proposed by a Los Angeles Unified superintendent.
LAUSD has recommended parents prepare childcare in view of the three-day strike and has organized grab-and-go meals that could help students with breakfast and lunch for the rest of the week.
