"The Los Angeles Unified School District strike has been called off after LAUSD reached a tentative agreement early Tuesday morning with Local 99 of Service Employees International Union. Schools will be open as usual on Tuesday."
"Local 99 represents about 30,000 teacher aides, campus aides, gardeners, custodians, bus drivers, cafeteria workers and tech support staff. These union members are the lowest paid in the school system."
"The bargaining teams of Local 99 and L.A. Unified also held lengthy face-to-face meetings Thursday and Sunday. The Sunday mediation session lasted from about 10 a.m. till about 9:30 p.m."
The Los Angeles Unified School District has reached tentative agreements with all three unions, preventing a strike and keeping schools open. Local 99, representing 30,000 support staff, secured pay raises and other concessions. The agreements follow similar pacts with United Teachers Los Angeles and Associated Administrators of Los Angeles. These agreements require ratification by union members and the Board of Education. Local 99 members have been working under an expired contract since June 30, 2024, and the negotiations involved extensive meetings over the weekend.
