Breaking: A three-day strike and shutdown of LAUSD will begin Tuesday after district and union leaders failed to reach an agreement.
Last-minute talks failed to avert a Tuesday strike that will shut down Los Angeles public schools and lead to a massive disruption in the nation’s second-largest school system.
Previously, union leaders had, in effect, ruled out talks before the strike, saying that they were waiting for the next formal step in the negotiations process, setting up a fact-finding panel that would take some time.Los Angeles Unified School District workers are expected to walk out Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Schools will be closed.
The union, which represents some of the district’s lowest-paid workers, includes bus drivers, teacher aides, special education assistants, security aides, custodians and food-service workers. “We want to be clear that we are not in negotiations with LAUSD,” Arias said. “We continue to be engaged in the impasse process with the state.”
