"The bargaining process has been ongoing inside the War Memorial Building, and just before 2:30 pm, SFUSD officials told the Chronicle that they were at that time waiting for union reps to respond to their latest proposal, which has been on the table since Saturday. But, awkwardly, as they said this, a union representative, Nathalie Hrizi, who serves as vice president for substitute teachers, was speaking at a rally in front of City Hall,"
"The latest proposal submitted by the district offers a 6% raise over two years, as well as a $24,000 annual health benefit allowance for each teacher and one dependent. The union has been seeking a 9% wage hike over two years. In the coming days there will be conflicting information about the SFUSD negotiations. Superintendent Su has been emailing parents (and students) directly almost daily while the teachers union UESF does not have that capability."
After a rally at Civic Center, the district canceled classes for Tuesday as a precaution and possible bargaining tactic. Negotiations inside the War Memorial Building produced a timing misunderstanding when district officials said they were waiting for union responses while a union vice president told a rally the district had not shown up. Union negotiators called off talks Saturday night and declined to return Sunday. The district offered a 6% raise over two years plus a $24,000 annual health allowance per teacher and one dependent. The union seeks a 9% wage increase. Superintendent Su has been emailing families nearly daily while UESF lacks that direct messaging capability. Parents and the city pressed to reopen schools.
