Teachers Call Strike in San Francisco on February 9

Union representing 6,400 educators sets Monday walkout, while USW and UFCW members authorize strikes at BP Whiting refinery and JBS Greeley plant

United Educators of San Francisco has called a strike to begin Monday, February 9, involving 6,400 educators in what would be the city’s first teacher walkout since 1979. The union set the date after members authorized a strike by 97.6% in January following a 99.34% preliminary vote in December, while saying a last-minute agreement could still avert the action. Union leaders said management has explored solutions but not presented formal proposals; negotiations were scheduled to resume Thursday.

In Colorado, the United Food and Commercial Workers said employees at JBS’s Greeley meatpacking plant voted 99% to authorize a strike after more than eight months of bargaining, representing about 3,800 workers. At BP’s 440,000-barrel-per-day Whiting, Indiana refinery, United Steelworkers said 98% of 800 workers authorized a strike as talks continue; BP said it remains in dialogue and aims to avoid a stoppage. In Oregon, 1,700 research workers at Oregon Health & Science University plan to strike on February 18 if no deal is reached, with pay central to the dispute and the university saying it is optimistic and prepared to operate.

Key Insight

Simultaneous actions by UESF, UFCW, and USW highlight bargaining pressure across education, meatpacking, and energy in early February.
