A three-day strike by workers in the Los Angeles Unified School District ended Thursday.
Still, it wasn't immediately clear if any progress was made in negotiations for higher pay for teachers' aides, bus drivers, custodians and other support staff in the nation's second-largest school system.
Max Arias, executive director of SEIU Local 99, said the union was grateful that Bass was helping"find a path out of our current impasse." There was no indication Thursday how the arbitration was going. Sofia Munoz, a special education teacher's assistant, said she hoped the labor action sent a message to Carvalho.
"We continue to do everything possible to reach an agreement that honors the hard work of our employees, corrects historical inequities, maintains the financial stability of the district and brings students back to the classroom," the statement said. "LAUSD could be the canary in the coalmine when you look at the potential for difficult labor negotiations in school districts across California," he said.
