The second largest school district in the United States canceled classes on Tuesday for what could be a three-day strike by 30,000 Los Angeles education support staff who are backed by a teachers' union that refuses to cross their picket line.
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."
