Teachers, others shocked to get SFUSD 'assignments' for strike day
"On Friday evening, the San Francisco Unified School District emailed its 6,000-plus teachers, providing them information that they already knew - schools are closed Monday due to the overwhelming possibility of the first San Francisco teacher walkout in 47 years. The email informed teachers - who voted at a 97.6 percent clip to authorize Monday's walkout - that they were receiving "redeployment assignments" to "Staff Centers" on Monday."
""In order to maintain District operations, we are opening Staff Centers where SFUSD employees should report to work," the email states. "Staff are expected to work and report to their assigned Staff Center." In addition to teachers, SEIU-represented district workers and school principals and administrators represented by the United Administrators of San Francisco also received "redeployments" to staff centers. The principals and administrators union on Friday announced its members had overwhelmingly voted to engage in a " sympathy strike " on Monday."
San Francisco Unified School District emailed its more than 6,000 teachers Friday evening informing them that schools would be closed Monday amid the strong likelihood of a teacher walkout, and assigned "redeployment assignments" to "Staff Centers." Teachers had voted 97.6 percent to authorize the walkout. The district told staff to work and report to assigned Staff Centers to maintain operations. SEIU-represented workers and principals and administrators also received redeployments. Principals and SEIU members voted to engage in sympathy strikes. The district cannot force striking workers to report but must offer work opportunities, and some teachers alleged redeployments aimed to mobilize nonstriking educators and undermine the walkout.
