The union representing 30,000 Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) service workers who just concluded a three-day strike that shuttered the nation’s second-largest school system has reached a tentative labor contract with the district, officials announced March 24.
The tentative pact still needs the approval of Service Employees International Union Local 99 members and the LAUSD board. The deal effectively meets the union’s demand for a 30 percent pay raise and also includes bonus payments, retroactive pay, and fully paid health benefits.
