A planned union walkout on Tuesday would mean no LAUSD classes for three days next week.
A potentially crippling strike by service workers that would shut down Los Angeles Unified School District campuses for three days was looking more likely on Friday, March 17, with dwindling hope of a resolution being reached before the planned union Tuesday walkout.
“This strike is about respect for essential workers who have been treated as a second-class workforce by LAUSD for far too long,” Arias said.Carvalho countered that the union is “simply refusing to negotiate,” calling it “deeply surprising and disappointing that there is an unwillingness to do so.” District officials said last week that Carvalho had made the SEIU Local 99 “one of the strongest offers ever proposed by a Los Angeles Unified superintendent.”
Carvalho sent a message to district parents and staff Monday saying that a walkout by more than 60,000 workers would likely mean a closure of all schools in the district.
