Opinion: Unions strut while L.A. students suffer
Instead, they’re getting an education in what it’s like to be tossed out onto the streets by the caprices of public employee unions who won’t sit down to do what they’re going to do anyway — split some differences over wages and benefits with district management and then go back to work.
The district has already offered a whopping 23% pay hike. But, instead of sitting down to talk over the differences, the union had to engage in the high drama, and the real pain for children and parents, of a three-day strike. Except when the supposed adults who were formerly in the room show they’re willing to choose grandstanding tactics over the inevitable negotiations that they ought to get back to now over the health and safety of the students in the nation’s second-largest school district, 75% of whom come from families at or below the poverty level of income.
