Los Angeles cancels school as workers launch 3-day strike

The strike in the Los Angeles Unified School District will disrupt education, meals, counseling and other social services for 420,000 students and their parents. It follows a six-day teachers' strike in 2019 and the coronavirus pandemic that closed classroom instruction for more than a year in 2020 and 2021.

The union, which said 96% of its membership had authorized the strike, is demanding a 30% salary increase plus a further $2 per hour for the lowest-paid workers, the Los Angeles Times reported. Los Angeles Unified Superintendent Alberto Carvalho told reporters on Tuesday the district was offering a 23% raise plus a 3% bonus and that "there are still additional resources to put on the table."

Kids last as always. They can’t read or write. But teachers need more money.

Who cares…

$25,000 average yearly income, that’s slavery

Keep the students dumb it’s what’s all about.
