San Francisco teacher union leader threatens strike if pay raises aren't met amid budget woes
Fox News
A San Francisco teacher union leader said teachers could go on strike when school returns if demands in increased pay are not met despite the state facing budget woes.
However, while they face budget woes, the United Educators of San Francisco, which represents more than 6,500 district employees, held a strike readiness meeting at a middle school in May in order to pressure district officials to increase pay. They released a video signaling they will go on strike in the fall. While negotiations for a new teacher contract are underway between the union and district officials, the district's proposal of a 5% increase is not enough, according to the union's May 24th Bargaining Report.

"We certainly haven’t seen eye to eye at the table," Cassondra Curiel, president of the United Educators of San Francisco, told the Chornicle. "We need to attract folks to see this profession as a sustainable way to live, especially in this city." Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
