LAUSD schools to close as support staff and teachers go on strike for equitable wages.
TL;DR
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 move comes after more than a year of negotiations with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and its superintendent, Alberto Carvalho, over pay and health benefits. 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.
