"For the last 11 months, the San Francisco Unified School district has been negotiating with the United Educators of San Francisco. On Wednesday afternoon, the fact-finding report from a state-appointed third party that outlined SFUSD's and the union's proposals failed to bring both sides together. In a statement, the United Educators of San Francisco said the report "did not go far enough" and threatened to strike with over 5,000 educators voting yes last week to a potential strike."
"SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Sources tell ABC7 Eyewitness News that San Francisco Unified District teachers plan to go on strike Monday, February 9. This comes days after the United Educators of San Francisco voted 97.6% to give its negotiators the power to call the first strike by the city's teachers in 47 years, the union said. The 1979 strike lasted seven weeks."
San Francisco Unified teachers plan to strike on February 9 after United Educators of San Francisco authorized negotiators and expressed rejection of a fact-finding report. The union voted 97.6% to grant negotiators strike authority and over 5,000 educators voted yes to a potential strike. The fact-finding report from a state-appointed third party failed to reconcile SFUSD and union proposals. United Educators said the recommendations did not go far enough and emphasized the need to stabilize staffing and special education. SFUSD offered a 6% pay increase over three years and fully funded family healthcare while citing a $100 million budget deficit.
