Huge LA school workers strike

 AxIos -  A strike by support workers for the Los Angeles Unified School District — the second largest school district in the country — could keep hundreds of thousands of students out of classrooms for days. The action is being organized by Local 99 of Service Employees International Union, which represents 30,000 bus drivers, teacher aides, campus security aides, special education assistants, custodians, gardeners and cafeteria workers, the L.A. Times reports... Teacher strikes in Columbus, Ohio, and Minneapolis last year won educators key concessions like raises and better classroom conditions. The L.A. workers make an average of $25,000, according to the union. They're asking for a 30% raise.
