LAUSD schools could close if union workers go on strike, Superintendent Carvalho says

In an email Monday night to parents, Carvalho said if some 65,000 workers go on strike, schools would shut down because the district wouldn't be able to ensure the safety of students.

The superintendent's statement comes as two unions plan to go on strike simultaneously for three days. SEIU Local 99 - which represents workers like bus drivers, custodians and cafeteria workers - says they're striking due to unfair labor practices.United Teachers Los Angeles - which represents teachers, counselors, nurses and librarians - also plans to walk out. UTLA is seeking a 20% increase over two years.

The district says it has made one of the strongest offers ever proposed, including a 15% wage increase."If this strike does occur, despite our best efforts to avoid it, due to the anticipated lack of both teachers and school staff, it is likely we would have to close schools - without virtual education - until the strike ends," Carvalho's email reads.

"We are committed to continue good-faith bargaining with our labor partners around the clock to reach an agreement and prevent a strike." A strike in 2019 lasted for six days and only involved the teachers union. However, schools stayed open back then.

Oh shit. I mean they’re not wrong for asking for the minimum which is above poverty line.

Teachers are heroes 🤡

Surely this is a mistake. NO WAY worthless LAUSD teachers would want to stay home indefinitely AGAIN. They care so much about their students education. It’s odd how they keep saying that all the while searching for ways to avoid going to work.

😂 what a joke!

LAUSD is run by Marxist blm members

Thank god I moved my kids from this dump of school district.

Again!?

Good. Less time to indoctrinate kids
