A major Oakland teachers' union ended a strike Monday after coming to a deal with the school district to raise teacher salaries and start a Reparations task force.
An Oakland school districtthat left over 34,000 students without instruction for nearly two weeks finally ended after the district agreed to pay teachers more and start a Black reparations task force.
The massive strike featured teachers, librarians, nurses, and other staff members walking out on their jobs May 4. Though the teachers were gone, the schools stayed opened for their 34,000 students, leaving them little to no instruction during the duration of the strike. Educators in Oakland are reportedly among the lowest paid in the Bay Area. The deal struck between the school district and the Oakland Education Association on Monday secured union members an almost 15% raise over the course of three years.
