Los Angeles Teachers to Strike for More Pay and More Help
“More than 30,000 Los Angeles public-school teachers are expected to begin a long-planned strike on Monday, pressing demands for higher pay, smaller classes and more support staff in the schools. The strike will upend learning for roughly 500,000 students at 900 schools in the district, the second-largest in the nation. The schools will remain open, staffed by substitutes hired by the city, but many parents have said they will not send their children across picket lines.”
