Support staff members of the Los Angeles Unified School District are on strike to protest alleged harassment during contract negotiations over the last year. Teachers have also walked off the job in solidarity. Students with disabilities have a right to a “free appropriate public education,” and the district has to provide extra accommodations or therapies to accomplish that. However, parents of students with special needs say there is little support tailored to their children's needs during a disruption like this week’s school closures. The union is seeking a 30% increase and an additional $2 an hour for the lowest paid union members.
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.
Schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District will be closed for three days as support staff, including teacher's aides, special education assistants, bus drivers, custodians, and cafeteria workers, begin a strike demanding better wages and increased staffing. The strike is expected to last through Thursday, and the local teachers' union will also honor the strike. Negotiations between the district and the Service Employees International Union Local 99 broke down last week, and the union accused the district of leaking a confidential mediation meeting to the press. The district has offered a 23% pay increase and a 3% "cash in hand bonus."
The union representing bus drivers, maintenance workers, and other support staff began a three-day walkout, and the union representing the city's teachers joined the strike in solidarity.

The SEIU is demanding a 30% increase in base salary over four years. LAUSD is the second biggest school district in the country, with 420,000 students.
