  • On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Unified School District reached a tentative deal with SEIU Local 99, averting a strike that would have impacted nearly 400,000 students in Southern California.
  • Three unions representing some 70,000 workers across the Los Angeles Unified School District had pledged a unified strike if any single group failed to reach an agreement by Tuesday.
  • SEIU Local 99 secured a tentative agreement with "major gains," including raises and more hours, plus protections against subcontracting, halted IT layoffs, and increased staffing.
  • Classes will be in session Tuesday morning, the Los Angeles Unified School District announced just hours before school started, confirming the agreement with the union.
