"San Francisco Unified School District officials announced Sunday evening that teachers will go on strike Monday after their demands weren't met and city leaders unsuccessfully pleaded for a 72-hour pause, with negotiations starting back up Noon Monday. As the Chronicle reports, no agreement was made between the United Educators of San Francisco and the San Francisco Unified School District over the weekend, aside from a tentative concession protecting undocumented students."
"We have made it very clear that our demands are for fully-funded family healthcare, for educators improvements to special education, and salary increases that do not come at the cost of concessions or takeaways, said Cassondra Curiel, president of the United Educators of San Francisco, per Mission Local. As 48 Hills reports, the union's demands amount to a budget of around $35 million about half of what the city budgeted for the San Francisco Police Department this year,"
Teachers in the San Francisco Unified School District will strike Monday after contract demands for salary increases, fully-funded family health care, and improved special education services were not met. Negotiations resumed at noon Monday following a failed plea from city leaders for a 72-hour pause. A tentative concession was reached to protect undocumented students, but the union proceeded because core demands remained unresolved. Union leaders estimate needs at around $35 million. Starting teacher pay averages $79,000 compared with $119,000 for beginning SFPD officers, and teachers pay about five percent of income for health insurance.
