LAUSD Workers Approve Labor Deal After 3-Day Strike.

Los Angeles Unified School District workers have approved a labor deal that includes a 30% wage increase for workers who earn an average of $25,000 a year, a $1,000 bonus for those who worked during the pandemic, and expanded family health care benefits. The contract still needs to be approved by the school district's Board of Education. Thousands of workers went on strike last month to demand better pay and increased staffing for bus drivers, cafeteria workers, teachers' aides, and other employees represented by the union. The school district serves more than half a million students in the area.
