LAUSD and Workers Union Reach Historic Agreement After Strike

The Los Angeles Unified School District has reached an agreement with Service Employees International Union Local 99, which represents about 30,000 school custodians, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, and other student services staff, following a three-day strike. The deal includes salary increases, a minimum wage raise, health benefits for part-time employees, and an investment in an Education and Professional Development Fund for SEIU members. The strike was supported by teachers and their union, and schools in the district reopened on Friday.
