One of our biggest supporters, those who also work with us in schools, is SEIU Local 99 (source: SEIU Local 99 website).
Since the start of the UTLA teacher’s strike at LAUSD on January 14, hundreds of SEIU Local 99 members have taken the courageous action to go on sympathy strikes. The teachers’ demands are our demands too. We want smaller class sizes and more staffing to ensure our students have the services they need, including more custodians and other classified staff to ensure every child can learn in a clean, safe, and supportive school.
Shout out to the schools that led sympathy strikes during week one of the strike:
- Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools
- Haskell STEAM Magnet Elementary School
- Hart Street Elementary School
- Herrick Avenue Elementary School
- Hadden Avenue Early Education Center
- Liggett Street Elementary School
- Sylmar Senior High School
- 93rd St. Elementary School
