Members of the Service Employees International Union Local 99, which represents school bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers and classroom assistants, formed picket lines and marched outside of school buildings across the Los Angeles Unified School District on Tuesday morning, demanding higher wages and smaller classroom sizes.
She was one of the striking workers who marched in pouring rain under umbrellas early on Tuesday carrying "Respect Us!" signs at a school bus yard, local media reported. Beyond classes, the strike disrupts social services on which many students at more than 1,000 schools in Los Angeles and surrounding communities depend, including meals and counseling. The city opened dozens of meal and safe-place sites Tuesday for students.
The union, which said 96% of its membership had authorized the strike, is demanding a 30% salary increase plus an additional $2 per hour for the lowest-paid workers, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The teacher’s union is the biggest threat to our children and families.
