Progress was made Tuesday at the bargaining table between Oakland public school teachers and the school district ahead of a possible strike by the teachers later this week.
"We don't want to strike," said union bargaining team member Wally Scott in a Twitter post Monday."But if striking is going to make our schools more safe and more just for vulnerable populations, we will."The union is bargaining for support for students such as the placement of counselors at schools that have none and better air quality.
Union officials said Tuesday that in six months of bargaining they had not seen any written offer from the school district until Monday. Consequently, it's been unclear to union officials what the district is offering in terms of salary increases.Union officials want the support for students to be codified in any agreement between the teachers and the district.
