Teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) went on a three-day strike Tuesday as negotiations fell apart and the district’s two unions walked off the job, leaving families in the lurch.
Working parents scrambled to find child care options and alternate activities during the midweek strike. The first day of the strike happened to coincide with the start of yet another storm, limiting outdoor possibilities.
As Breitbart News reported last week, the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) is striking in solidarity with Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 99, the union that is at the heart of the controversy.

The 23% is over several years. Still generous, even with current inflation estimates, although some could be considered catch-up, depending on what you think is appropriate teaching salary.
No kidding. I have always been happy to get a 1.5% raise.
Unions suck, and Teacher’s Unions suck the worst.
That’s seems fair...it’s hard to sell the idea your little boy should get their nuts hacked off.
Kid’s reading and math scores are WAY BELOW average and these grifters want a 23% raise, NOT NO BUT HELL NO!!!
And I only get one of those raises every two or three years.
Hey! I’m tryin’ to drink my coffee here!
Does that mean some of the kids will be safe for 3 days?
They’re probably holding out for $5 million apiece. You know, like that to be paid to reparations recipients.
A union can ask for whatever raise it wants, 23% or 230%. It’s a free country.
The problem is that management does not have the courage (or sometimes even the right) to permanently fire all of them, and bring in new people.
So, yeah. The union has a nuclear weapon, the strike. But management has no such weapon. There’s no balance. And so the union always wins. I saw a similar thing during my steel mill days. The union always won. But then one day the mill closed down for good. And no one in the union leadership could figure out why.
Oh, well. Bring in the scabs. Some of them might know how to teach.
Not that they stuck around long enough to figure anything out. Once the mill closed down for good, I am sure the union officials scurried off to greener Union pastures.
OMG! How are the kiddos gonna learn about queers, equity, and racism? Will they even question their gender or enquire about which pronouns to use? Will white kids stop feeling guilty for being colonists? What will happen if the teachers strike???

They still only work nine months a year, right?
