“Public school educators in 32 union locals across California are joining forces to maximize their power in a campaign called ‘We Can’t Wait’. It covers 77,000 educators—about a quarter of the California Teachers Association’s total membership—serving a million students.”
Their 3 demands include full staffing, safe and sound schools, higher wages and benefits. Given how difficult it is to organize unions across local levels, the fact that 77,000 teachers are ready to go is an achievment in itself. They say they will be ready to strike in the fall, if necessary.
