The Impact of LA School Strikes on Students and Parents.
TL;DR Summary
The three-day strike by over 30,000 Los Angeles school service employees, including bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and special education assistants, is set to end on Friday as negotiations between the Service Employees International Union Local 99 and the Los Angeles Unified School District resume. The union has been working without a contract since June 2020 and is demanding a 30% pay hike for its members, many of whom earn "poverty wages" of $25,000 per year. The school district's most recent offer includes a 23% wage increase and a 3% "cash-in-hand bonus."
