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.
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.
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???
Isn’t everyone getting a 23% raise under Train Wreck Biden?

Shop and home economic will not be offered. Student may attend vocational schools for courses such as these when in high school. Health class will no longer be offered. A unit on personal finance and investing will be taught once per year from grades three through twelve. Courses that align with all AP subject exams will be offered in high school.
Teachers will receive a 2.5% raise.
Raises for teachers should depend on performance. Have their students performed at grade or better, or not.
LA teacher salaries start in the high 50s, which is pretty awful considering the cost of living and the incredible difficulty of the job.
I think government employee strikes should be illegal. Treat it as a resignation, but give criminal penalties to the organizers.
The district has set up “Grab and Go” centers where parents can pick up FIVE meals for each kid so they won’t starve during these three days.
So we have the schools not only indoctrinating the children in Marxism, but also feeding them on taxpayer money. I give up!
This should be no surprise if the SEIU is involved. Parasites all.
Hah! It’s pouring rain this morning in LA...love seeing these miserable grifters walking their picket line in this weather! :)
This is probably a good thing for the students!
They will be exposed to less debauchery on the streets and in the back alleys, while off school, than what they would face inside those LGBTQ-BLM-CRT classrooms!!
At least the kids are safe
