LAUSD confirmed there will be no classes Thursday, which would mean Day 3 of the worker strike.
Wednesday marks the second of a planned three-day strike, as LAUSD workers are demanding increased pay.Members of the Service Employees International Union Local 99 -- who have been on a planned three-day strike since Tuesday against the-- will conclude their walkout Thursday and return to work on Friday, the union said in a statement Wednesday evening.
The LAUSD issued a statement that said district officials "have been in conversation with SEIU Local 99 leaders with the assistance and support of Mayor Bass." Some SEIU workers began their day Wednesday rallying at a Gardena bus yard, before picket lines emerged at LAUSD campuses across the area. UTLA President Cecily Myart-Cruz had fiery words for Carvalho, accusing him of short-changing workers and refusing to bargain privately with workers, and saying the district had ample time to negotiate a fair deal but failed to do so.
"I understand our employees' frustration that has been brewing, not just for a couple of years, but probably for decades," he said. The union, however, has been pushing for a 30% pay raise, with an additional boost for the lowest-paid workers.
