Teachers Strike In West Contra Costa Unified District

Some 3,000 educators and staff strike in Richmond for pay increases as Teamsters join; Los Angeles and San Francisco unions report impasses

About 3,000 teachers, paraprofessionals, office staff, and cafeteria workers in California’s West Contra Costa Unified School District went on strike Thursday over pay demands, as the district cites a steep budget deficit. Members of the United Teachers of Richmond and the district’s Teamsters union reported to picket lines in Richmond, seeking wage increases; the district recently offered a 3% raise following an earlier proposal of no raises, and Teamsters rejected a tentative agreement Tuesday. Negotiations with teachers began in February and reached impasse in August, with the union initially seeking 5% annual increases for the next two school years. The district serves about 26,000 students.

Elsewhere in California, at least seven other teachers unions have reached impasse in contract talks. On Wednesday, United Teachers Los Angeles announced an impasse, while United Educators of San Francisco completed the first of two scheduled strike votes. Together, these developments show simultaneous labor disputes across multiple districts.
