Sergi91 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 CNN — More than a week after educators first hit the picket line, the Oakland Education Association, which represents public school teachers in Oakland, California, announced Monday morning it has reached a tentative agreement with the Oakland Unified School District, ending the strike and sending some 35,000 students back to class. According to the union statement, the 2.5-year tentative agreement with the school district includes a 15.5 percent salary increase for most teachers, retroactive pay, and bilingual stipends for teachers who can speak multiple languages. The agreement will also add school counselors to elementary schools for the first time and additional support staff, including school librarians, guidance counselors, and school nurses, according to the union.

ATRL Moderator Bloo Posted May 17, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2023 Strikes work. The teachers deserve this and more. It’s shameful how little we pay our teachers. The fact they are commonly expected to pay for their own teaching supplies out of their own pockets is horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
