Los Angeles Unified School District workers have approved a labor deal following a three-day strike.
The agreement, which was voted on this week, would increase wages by 30% for workers who are paid an average of $25,000 a year, the Local 99 chapter of the Service Employees International Union said Saturday. It also includes a $1,000 bonus for employees who worked during the COVID-19 pandemic and expanded family health care benefits.The contract still needs to be approved by the school district’s Board of Education.
“We must continue working together to address our city’s high cost of living, to grow opportunity and to support more funding for LA’s public schools, which are the most powerful determinant of our city’s future,” the Democrat said in a statement. The school district serves more than half a million students in the area, an enrollment size that is second only to the New York City Public Schools system.
