The Oakland teachers union announced Tuesday that they're willing to go on strike if a deal isn't reached with the district.
The Oakland Education Association announced Tuesday the results of a vote to go on a potential unfair labor practice strike.
For months, they have been in negotiations with the district and say OUSD has been acting unlawfully and unprofessional. The Oakland teachers union held a strike vote Monday night but won't be announcing the results of that vote until a news conference later Tuesday. Bob Redell reports.
The association said this is a last resort after six months of negotiations with the school district. “We have taken the vote, but we really want to avoid a strike and we’re asking them to come to the table and bargain in good faith,” said Kampala Taiz-Rancifer, second vice president of the OEA. “This is something we can avoid but we have the votes to be able to call a strike if necessary.”
In response, Oakland Unified said in part, “The district looks forward to continuing our efforts to reach an agreement with OEA that honors our educators and best supports our students' learning. We will continue to do everything possible to avoid a work stoppage."
