LAUSD teachers and staff from UTLA and SEIU Local 99 are expected to announce a strike date during a downtown Los Angeles rally following stalled contract talks.
Thousands of Los Angeles Unified School District employees are gathering in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday for a "Fight for LA" labor rally that could determine the start date of a district-wide strike.
The rally, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at Grand Park, brings together three distinct labor groups: United Teachers Los Angeles , SEIU Local 99, and the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles. Combined, these groups represent over 33,000 workers ranging from classroom teachers and principals to cafeteria staff and custodians. UTLA has confirmed that 94% of its membership previously voted to authorize a strike, and sources indicate a specific walkout date will likely be made public during this afternoon's event. All three unions have been working under contracts that expired in June 2024 and report that negotiations with LAUSD leadership have reached a standstill.Union leadership has expressed deep frustration with the district's current financial offers. UTLA’s president stated that the latest salary proposal "is not enough to fix broken salary schedules," adding that the current figures fail to "attract educators to LAUSD" or "address the financial struggles educators are facing." A walkout could be averted if a deal is reached before the deadline.If a strike date is announced today, the district and union leaders will have a narrow window to return to the bargaining table to prevent a work stoppage. Parents should prepare for potential disruptions to school schedules and services, though the district has not yet released a formal contingency plan for a total walkout of both teachers and administrators.
