LAUSD and SEIU Local 99 have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract for support staff, which includes a 30% wage increase and a retroactive pay increase of between $4,000 and $8,000. This agreement was reached after a three-day strike that was supported by teachers, parents and students, and will benefit workers such as bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers, special education assistants and other support staff. The agreement is a victory for the workers and the union, and will help to ensure that the district’s students receive the best possible education.
