With its third strike in five years, even in this liberal city, the union has misread the room.
In 2019, Oakland teachers went on strike for well-deserved higher pay, and every family I knew supported their strike. Kids, including mine, joined them in the picket line.
I have been a parent leader at my sons’ elementary school for seven years. Most people know that my support for teachers and for student equity has been steadfast. I am pro-public school, pro-labor and pro-fair pay. • Huge numbers of Oakland families across the city do not support the strike. Just like during the pandemic year, parents suffer from having no organized representation to advocate for our views. Many people find local media coverage generally biased in favor of the union, whose talking points can be misleading. It’s parents who have no voice here, and from where I sit, they are extremely angry.
