A possible three-day strike that would force the closure of Los Angeles Unified School District schools will begin Tuesday.
schools will begin Tuesday, the Service Employees International Union Local 99 announced Wednesday evening at a rally in Grand Park.
SEIU-represented workers voted in February to authorize the union to call a strike if negotiations failed.Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said schools will temporarily close and warned parents to start talking now with their employers and child care providers. "Ultimately, we must do what is in the best interest of our students as well as our workforce, which includes exercising fiscal responsibility," according to a district statement. "Our general fund is not a flexible budget reserve -- the district cannot go bankrupt. We need to be united in our efforts to provide every child with access to a high-quality public education that will prepare them for success in school and life.
The union declared an impasse in negotiations in December, leading to the appointment of a state mediator.
