LAUSD pushes SEIU talks to avert April 14 strike after deals with UTLA and administrators

LAUSD continues bargaining with SEIU after tentative deals with UTLA and the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles; SEIU represents about 30,000 aides, bus drivers, custodians and cafeteria workers, and negotiators are seeking higher pay and more hours for part-time staff to qualify for health benefits. With a potential SEIU strike on April 14 that could close schools, the district is racing to reach an agreement as UTLA has pledged solidarity if no deal is reached.

LAUSD strike risk persists as Local 99 stalls after tentative deals

Two LAUSD unions reached tentative deals Sunday, but Local 99 remains at the bargaining table, keeping the April 14 strike option alive that could close schools for 390,000 students and 70,000 workers. Mayor Bass is mediating and the city has prepared safe programming in case of a shutdown. Local 99 plans morning pickets and post‑rally food distribution while pushing for higher pay and stable hours, whereas UTLA and AALA secured raises and governance protections. If Local 99 settles, the district could avert a broader walkout, but families must still prepare for possible closures, childcare gaps, and disruption to IEP meetings.

LAUSD tentative deal with teachers could avert strike, but others remain unsettled

LAUSD and United Teachers Los Angeles announced a tentative two-year contract that would raise the starting teacher salary from $68,965 to $77,000 (about an 11.7% jump) and increase average pay by roughly 13.86%, while adding more counselors, four weeks of paid parental leave, and smaller 11th–12th grade classes. The district still needs deals with SEIU Local 99 and the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles to avert a Tuesday walkout. UTLA has warned it could honor solidarity actions if the other unions don’t reach agreements, and voting on the UTLA deal is expected in coming days as talks continue with Local 99 and AALA.

LAUSD: UTLA tentative deal reached, but walkouts loom amid broader union talks

LAUSD and UTLA reached a tentative two-year contract with roughly an 11.65% pay hike, a starting salary near $77,000, four weeks of district-paid parental leave, expanded student mental-health supports, and smaller class-size targets for some grades; the district says the deal costs about $650 million and includes inclusive-practices staffing. While UTLA members are urged to ratify, negotiations with SEIU Local 99 (bus drivers and aides) and the administrators’ union continue, with a potential sympathy strike if no deal by April 14. A district walkout could disrupt attendance for about 400,000 students, but the district has prepared food, tech support, and child-care resources if schools close.

LAUSD Faces 3-Day Strike Threat from School Workers Union

Los Angeles Unified School District teachers and staff are planning a three-day walkout starting next week, which would be the longest full disruption of education since the six-day teachers' strike of 2019. The strike would shut down schools attended by more than 420,000 students. The walkout would be led by Local 99 of SEIU and joined in a solidarity strike by UTLA. The unions are seeking wage increases, with Local 99 seeking a 30% increase for all members, and UTLA seeking a 20% raise over two years. LAUSD officials are prepared to meet around the clock to avert the strike, but some are growing pessimistic. Schools would be closed during a strike, and the district is preparing academic materials for students to take home.
