LAUSD Teacher Rally to Take Place at Grand Park, Upcoming Strike Possible
United Teachers Los Angeles demands a 17% pay raise over two years and improved staffing, threatening a strike if no agreement is reached by April 14.
- During a downtown Los Angeles rally, UTLA set April 14 as a strike deadline if no contract is reached with LAUSD.
- Facing an expired contract that ended last June 30, UTLA is demanding roughly 17% wage increases over two years plus no layoffs, smaller classes, and more mental-health staff.
- The union represents roughly 30,000 members, with roughly 94% voting to authorize a strike, while LAUSD's latest offer includes an 8% raise plus a 3% bonus.
- A strike could be averted if negotiations between UTLA and LAUSD produce a contract agreement after approximately 20 bargaining sessions and a neutral fact-finding report expected March 30.
- UTLA emphasizes pay demands tied to 21% of full-time faculty and staff eligible for affordable housing and recalls the January 2019 strike lasted six days, highlighting staffing and service challenges.
