"San Francisco public school teachers will walk off the job Monday for the first time in 50 years unless a deal is reached before then. The teacher's union and the San Francisco Unified School District did not have any bargaining sessions scheduled Sunday and remain at odds over wages. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie took to social media Sunday evening to respond to the teachers' union's decision to walk off the job Monday."
""Let me be clear: I do not want a prolonged strike. I don't want a strike at all," said San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Maria Su. "We need to finish the conversation so our students can stay in the classroom." Negotiations stalled Sunday after a nearly eight-hour-long session Saturday led to an agreement on sanctuary district policies, but no deal on wages."
""As we have said before, time and time again, we will be going on strike Monday, absent a signed tentative agreement with this district," said Cassondra Curiel, president of United Educators of SF. Curiel made it clear that the strike was hours away. The union wants 4.5% raises each year for two years. The district, citing a dire financial situation, is offering 2%. A fact-finding report recommends 3%."

Bargaining sessions remained unscheduled Sunday as negotiations stalled over wages. Mayor Daniel Lurie urged a short delay and expressed frustration at the lack of agreement. Superintendent Maria Su said she does not want a strike and urged finishing talks so students can stay in classrooms. A nearly eight-hour session produced agreement on sanctuary district policies but failed to resolve raises. The union demands 4.5% annual raises for two years; the district offers 2% amid fiscal concerns; a fact-finding report recommends 3%.
