Los Angeles Unified School District workers and supporters rally outside LAUSD headquarters on the first day of a strike over a new contract on March 21, 2023 in Los Angeles, California/AFPPix: More than 1,000 schools in Los Angeles will be shut down for three days starting March 21 due to a massive strike in the Los Angeles Unified School District in which over 30,000 school workers are willing to participate, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
About 30,000 education system employees including cafeteria workers, custodians and bus drivers will join the three-day strike, beginning at 4:30 am local time to protest what Service Employees International Union Local 99 described as “unfair labor practices,“ the newspaper reported. The LAUSD, the US’ second largest district, consists of more than 1,000 schools with 600,000 students enrolled.
The SEIU Local 99 union that represents education workers stated that the strike is a result of a year of negotiations over a 30 per cent wage increase and a US$2 per hour pay raise for school support workers marked by threats and harassment towards the union members, reported Sputnik. Even though teachers are not directly engaged in the debate, the United Teachers Los Angeles union representing 35,000 educators announced that they would honour the strike.
In 2019, Los Angeles schools were shut down when thousands of education workers went on a six-day strike. The strike led to district authorities approving a 6 per cent pay raise and a promise to cut class sizes. -
