SF teachers union still counting strike authorization votes

[RandySF]

San Francisco teacher union officials were still counting ballots Friday after teachers gathered the night before to take the first of two votes required to go on strike.

Results were expected to be announced on Sunday or, more likely, Monday morning as children head back for the first day of school.

If a majority of teachers vote in favor, it would allow the union to call an official strike vote. It would then be up to union leadership to actually schedule a strike.

But with the district and United Educators of San Francisco still at the table, a teacher strike won’t come for weeks if not months.
