In today’s News and Commentary, Los Angeles Unified School District workers have approved a union contract after last month’s three-day strike over pay and staffing and, for the first time in the school’s 250+ year history, Rutgers University faculty and staff are on strike.
Over the weekend, Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) workers approved a union contract after a three-day strike over wages and staffing (which OnLabor reported on two weeks ago). Service Employees International Union Local 99 said Saturday that the agreement will increase wages by 30% for workers who are paid an average of $25,000 a year. The contract also includes a $1,000 bonus for employees who worked during the COVID-19 pandemic, and expanded family health care benefits. Still, the school district’s Board of Education must approve the contract. The Board intends to vote on it later this month.
