"Every year the district gets additional revenue called a cost-of-living adjustment. We are asking that be passed along to make sure they are retaining and recruiting the best educators. The teachers say their demands are not unreasonable and they plan to fight until their needs are met."
"Teachers are asking for smaller class sizes, full health care coverage, and a 3.5% raise to keep up with the cost of living. The district said its current offer matches recommendations from an independent fact-finding report. It offered a 2.1% raise and an incremental increase in health care coverage over three years."
"Late Monday night, the teachers' union said they have started looking at a cost analysis with the district. They said they have an agreement with the district that Tuesday they will sit down and collaboratively create a cost analysis of current proposals as a first step toward what they call a student-centered settlement."
More than 700 teachers in Dublin, California are on strike for a second day, demanding better pay, working conditions, and smaller class sizes. Teachers seek a 3.5% raise to match cost-of-living increases, full health care coverage, and reduced class sizes. The district counters with a 2.1% raise and incremental health care increases over three years, citing a $21 million gap between proposals. The district warns that granting union demands could necessitate program and staffing cuts. However, both parties have agreed to collaboratively create a cost analysis of current proposals on Tuesday as a first step toward resolution.
