Over 3,000 teachers in Northern California's Oakland Unified School District went on strike Thursday, though the district says all of its schools remain open.
," the union said in a statement."Meanwhile, rising inflation and a steep rise in the cost of rent in the fast-gentrifying city is making it impossible for educators — especially new teachers at the bottom of the salary scale making $52,905 per year — to afford rent."
The Oakland Education Association, the union representing teachers in Alameda County, California's largest school district, has gone on strike. The Oakland Unified School District claims schools remain open to students despite the absence of over 3,000 faculty members. The district is the second-largest school district in the Bay Area, where rents and housing prices have skyrocketed in recent years. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Oakland is more than $2,500, according to Rent Cafe.
