LAUSD Strike Set to Shutdown Schools Despite Last-Minute Negotiations.
TL;DR
Talks between the Los Angeles Unified School District and Local 99 of Service Employees International Union failed to avert a three-day strike that will shut down Los Angeles public schools and lead to a massive disruption in the nation’s second-largest school system. The union is seeking a 30% salary increase plus $2 more per hour for the lowest-paid workers, expanded hours, and more full-time positions. The district has upped its offer considerably in a series of moves over several days, but the union is still going ahead with the strike.
