Tens of thousands of workers in the Los Angeles Unified School District are walking off the job over stalled contract talks.
Demonstrations began at a bus yard by members of Local 99 of the Service Employees International Union, which represents about 30,000 teachers' aides, special education assistants, bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers and other support staff.
"These are the co-workers that are the lowest-paid workers in our schools and we cannot stand idly by as we consistently see them disrespected and mistreated by this district," UTLA President Cecily Myart-Cruz told a news conference. "We're very understaffed," Murray said. "The custodial staff is a ghost crew, so the schools are dirty. They're doing the best they can."
"I believe this strike could have been avoided. But it cannot be avoided without individuals actually speaking to one another," he said.
