LOS ANGELES—Thousands of Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) service workers overwhelmingly approved what has been described as a “historic” labor agreement, with over 99 percent of members voting in favor of the deal, union officials said April 8.
The roughly 30,000 members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 99 cast ballots on the proposed contract in-person and online from April 3–7. The agreement was reached March 24 following a strike that shuttered the nation’s second-largest school district for three days.
