"The San Francisco's teachers union will call for a strike date of Monday, Feb. 9, Mission Local has learned. The district's 6,400 educators were informed of the union decision via an email earlier this morning, and United Educators of San Francisco is set to officially announce the strike date at an 8:45 a.m. press conference."
""Since the strike vote, SFUSD management has begun exploring creative solutions, but so far, no proposals have been made. The 100+ person UESF negotiations team is scheduled to meet on Thursday and is ready to hear from district management," reads an email sent to the district's teachers by their union at 6:04 a.m. with the subject line Our Students Deserve Stability - UESF Strike Begins Monday, Feb 9th."
"Barring a last-ditch turnaround at the negotiating table, it would be the first teacher strike in San Francisco since 1979 when teachers walked off the job for more than six weeks. It comes after a nearly year-long bargaining effort between the union and the school district over wage increases, healthcare for dependents, special education, and other issues."
United Educators of San Francisco set a strike date for Monday, Feb. 9 and informed the district's 6,400 educators by early-morning email. A full 97.6 percent of teachers authorized a strike after a 99.34 percent preliminary vote. The union noted SFUSD management has explored creative solutions but has made no proposals, and the 100-plus-person UESF negotiations team is scheduled to meet with district management on Thursday. The union stated it will strike without an agreement that meets students' and educators' needs. The action would be the first San Francisco teacher strike since 1979 after nearly year-long bargaining over wages, dependent healthcare, special education, and other issues. Principals and administrators plan an emergency sympathy-strike vote and are expected to support teachers, complicating efforts to keep schools open.
