LAUSD School Strike Continues to Disrupt Education
TL;DR Summary
The three-day strike by teachers' assistants, custodians, and other support staff in Los Angeles has highlighted the paltry pay of support staff that serves as the backbone of schools nationwide. School support staffers earn, on average, about $25,000 a year in Los Angeles, barely enough to get by in one of the most expensive cities in America. The strike has been led by the district's lowest-paid workers, who are demanding better wages and increased staffing. The fight for higher wages has been brewing in other school systems as well.
