Los Angeles schools prepare for 3-day strike for 'equitable' wage increases and more
District failed to reach an agreement with union negotiators on Monday, prompting district officials to shut down schools in the nation’s second-largest education system on Tuesday.
Union leaders announced in December that talks reached an impasse and a state-appointed mediator would oversee the communications between both parties. The district said in the statement, contrary to the SEIU’s assertions, the California Public Employee Relations board Office of the General Counsel, or PERB OGC, denied the district’s request for an injunctive relief over claims that the union was acting illegally by engaging in a three-day strike. In the PERB’s decision, it said it did not find the remedy of injunctive relief to be met at this time, but the OGC was directed to expedite the district’s unfair practice charge against the union.
"We do not need to debate or litigate the fact that during the pandemic, kids lost a lot of ground," the superintendent tweeted, explaining that reading and math proficiency were hit hard, particularly students who are learning English or have disabilities."They cannot afford to be out of school and that is why I am appealing directly to the union leadership to engage and negotiate in good faith and find a solution that addresses the needs of all, including our students.
