L.A. Teachers Schedule Boycott for Thursday
The job action that Los Angeles teachers plan to take to protest a wage offer they consider too low will take the form of a one-day boycott of classes Thursday, union officials said Friday.
Frances Haywood, vice president of United Teachers Los Angeles, which represents the district’s 32,000 teachers, said the Los Angeles Unified School District did not increase its offer of a 7% raise during three bargaining sessions this week. The union is asking for a 14% increase.
Negotiators for both sides are scheduled to meet again Monday.
