Oakland teachers and district make progress on 'Common Good' proposals amidst ongoing strike.

After two weeks of negotiations, the Oakland Education Association (OEA), the union representing teachers, and the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) reached an agreement on common good proposals. Key to this agreement are topics related to shared governance and community schools. Despite this agreement, there is still work to be done to get a signed deal to end the strike. The union says what remains are the details over three key areas: teacher salaries, special education programs and class size.

"Oakland Teachers' Strike Continues Over Pay and Social Issues"

Oakland teachers began an open-ended strike over salaries, class sizes, and a long list of demands, including housing for homeless children, reparations for Black students, and landscaping. Both sides agreed they were very close on pay and benefits, but it was the optional “common good” proposals that were keeping an agreement from happening. The strike is based on the union’s claim of unfair labor practices related to what they say is the district bargaining in bad faith. The state labor board has not yet ruled on that claim.
