"The San Francisco School District Administration finally gave the Teacher's Union most of what the educators wanted-after a five-day strike the cost the district more in lost state revenue than the cost of healthcare for dependents that the union was seeking. The strike never needed to happen. MissionLocal reports that SFUSD administration "fumbled the teachers strike," noting that none of the union's concerns were new or surprising."
"The city provides good dependent health care benefits to almost all of its employees. The cops not only get health care while they're working, they get it for life, and can retire after 30 years at 90 percent base pay ( which is often spiked). Cops start at almost $30,000 a year more than teachers, and after even five years, most officers make close to $150,000."
San Francisco Unified agreed to cover teachers' dependent healthcare after a five-day strike. Dependent healthcare previously could cost teachers up to $1,500 monthly, sometimes 15 percent of pay, so coverage functioned as a substantial wage increase for lower-paid educators. The strike cost the district more in lost state revenue than the dependent healthcare expenses. City employees generally receive strong dependent benefits, while police receive lifetime healthcare and generous retirement after 30 years at 90 percent base pay. Police starting salaries exceed teachers' by roughly $30,000 and often surpass top teacher pay within a few years. Mayor Daniel Lurie showed poor labor handling and delayed response.
