LAUSD Faces 3-Day Strike Threat from School Workers Union
Los Angeles Unified School District teachers and staff are planning a three-day walkout starting next week, which would be the longest full disruption of education since the six-day teachers' strike of 2019. The strike would shut down schools attended by more than 420,000 students. The walkout would be led by Local 99 of SEIU and joined in a solidarity strike by UTLA. The unions are seeking wage increases, with Local 99 seeking a 30% increase for all members, and UTLA seeking a 20% raise over two years. LAUSD officials are prepared to meet around the clock to avert the strike, but some are growing pessimistic. Schools would be closed during a strike, and the district is preparing academic materials for students to take home.
