Oakland teachers are expected to strike on Thursday, a walkout that could shutter schools and reach 34,000 students unless a deal is reached between the district and the union.
Oakland teachers are poised to strike on Thursday, a walkout that could shutter schools and affect 34,000 students unless a deal is reached between the district and the teachers’ union.
On Tuesday evening, teachers began to pick up their posters, flyers and materials from the union office — and as of 7 p.m., the two sides were still at the bargaining table. Earlier Tuesday the district released a statement with its latest proposal offering starting teachers a salary boost from $52,905 to $63,604 a year. For mid-career and veteran teachers, that jump was even larger: an increase of $11,342 and $15,432, respectively.
“We’re moving in the right direction, but the devil is always in the details,” said Serrano. “We can’t say whether we’re fully in agreement or not, because we don’t know the details. It’s just frustrating that we’re at this point when we’ve been bargaining for seven months, but I am hopeful that there will be movement.”
