On Day One of the three-day Los Angeles Unified School District strike, there was plenty of rallying, chanting and picketing — but no signs of negotiating progress.
The strike is the first major labor disruption for the district since UTLA teachers went on strike for six days in 2019. While both unions are currently seeking contract agreements, this time it is the— who have an average salary of $25,000 — that are at the forefront of the strike.
“I understand our employees’ frustration that has been brewing not just for a couple of years, but probably for decades and it is on the basis of recognizing historic inequities that we have put on the table a historic proposal,” he said mid-morning on Tuesday. “This offer addresses the needs and concerns from the union, while also remaining fiscally responsible and keeping the district in a financially stable position.

The district fought to stave off the strike through 11th-hour bargaining sessions and a legal effort to have the Public Employee Relations Board declare the strike unlawful. Ultimately, neither efforts proved fruitful and labor leaders grew increasingly frustrated with the district. Available resources include more than 150 student supervision and food distribution sites at school campuses and county parks and recreation centers across Los Angeles.
