Los Angeles teachers are expected to announce a strike date Wednesday that could halt classes for nearly 400,000 students.
The timing is set to coincide with a massive rally in downtown LA involving three major unions.
The walkout, if it happens, would be open-ended, lasting until a new contract is agreed upon. United Teachers Los Angeles represents more than 30,000 educators and staffers, whose contract expired last June.

That was my very first thought!
Government employees should not ever, I mean EVER, be unionized. Unconscionable.
They should receive the Reagan PATCO treatment.
The fear is they might actually learn more than being in school.
Now kids might actually learn something.
Would it make a difference...?
The LAUSD has an $18 billion budget this fiscal year, but is running a nearly $900 million deficit! Another California Democrat created disaster.
Enrollment is down to 398,101 in 2025-2026, from 474,375 students in 2019-2020.
No wonder California wants illegal immigration. The loss of students means less funding.
L A Teachers can move to Mexico.
If the democrat politicians and their criminal cronies in the blue states would stop looting the public purse perhaps the public schools across this country wouldn’t be financially in the red. Public school teachers should only be paid on the basis of their student’s success and tenure for teachers needs to be scrapped along with all of the teacher’s unions. Put the student’s better interests and their education first. Indoctrination needs to punished, not rewarded.
- a scrupulously honest and comprehensively detailed audit of where each dollar goes (including every single "program")
-honest reports on the number of classroom teachers (including total time in classroom/ number of students in classroom)
-the ratio of active teachers to non-teaching positions
-the number of disaffected students who drop out
-the honestly presented test scores measuring (uh-oh) student "achievement"
-an explanation of what really happens on "teacher work days"
-a discussion of what community services can be performed by teachers drawing a salary and otherwise doing nothing on summer "vacation" and during holiday breaks
-and the influence of the unions on curricula (including political indoctrination)...
...before any (any) discussion of increasing salary or benefits?
Do a Reagan. Fire them.
15,000 nurses were on strike in NYC in January. Maybe they can rush over to aid people in any violence in the Los Angeles teachers’ strike now. Sort of like a merry go round of greedy union members.
Like anyone will notice
Amen!
I was thinking that this could only help the kids.
So the kids will get to be away from these psychos?
Go for it. More hits on what the remaining Californians are paying for.
It’s quickly moving from “make the rich pay for it” to make the middle class pay for it”.
After that report on the pension payments to public workers, it’s only a matter of a short time until the workers understand that they’re being made to pay for the government employees.
