Los Angeles teachers strike all but inevitable

By China Daily | China Daily | Updated: 2019-01-15 07:51

A strike by more than 30,000 teachers in Los Angeles, the second-largest school district in the United States with 640,000 students, is all but inevitable starting on Monday after the two sides did not renew negotiations over the weekend. It will be the first teachers' strike in the city in 30 years.

Talks broke down on Friday when the teachers' union rejected what it called a "woefully inadequate" offer from the LA Unified School District.

With no new discussions scheduled, picket lines are likely to form at 7 am as teachers stand firm on their demands, including higher pay and smaller class sizes.
