LAUSD strike leads to historic deal benefiting students and workers.

The three-day strike that shut down public schools in Los Angeles may have been illegal, according to complaints issued by state regulators, clearing the way for the district’s case against the two unions that walked out to move to a formal hearing. The labor board actions came before the district and Local 99 of Service Employees International Union reached a tentative agreement Friday afternoon. The next step in the labor-board process would be a trial before an administrative law judge — which could happen in the next month or so.
