A week long teachers' strike in Oakland ended with a tentative agreement on a new contract.

Teachers, students and supporters rally last week at Frank Ogawa Plaza in front of City Hall in Oakland. School leaders and teachers reached a tentative deal Friday to end a weeklong strike.

Under the proposed contract, teachers will receive an 11% salary increase over four years, as well as a 3% bonus upon ratification, according to the Oakland Education Assn. The contract also puts a five-month pause on school closures and consolidations, as well as a moratorium on the opening of new charter schools.“Our power in the streets prevailed, our love of students prevailed and our determination for a better future for the students of Oakland prevailed,” said Oakland Education Assn.

During the strike, more than 95% of the union’s 30,000 members were behind the picket line, and 97% of students were out of school, according to the union.Teachers have 24 hours to look over the contract and decide whether to ratify it. A formal vote will be held Saturday. “Today marks a sea change for OUSD as we take a major step in support of our teachers and students,” said Oakland Supt. Kyla Johnson-Trammell in a statement. “The contract will help ensure more teachers stay in Oakland and that more come to teach in our classrooms and support our students.”

I’d bet dollars to donuts you won’t see reading levels or graduation rates go up an inch.

Get rid of the Unions!!
