A teachers strike against the Los Angeles Unified School District can go forward on Monday, Jan. 14, a judge ruled Thursday. -
Short version? Negotiations didn't result in a new contract. The teachers union moved its date to stop working (and LAUSD is trying to delay it more). Oh, and L.A. County is sending in a fiscal monitor.
-
Less than a day before its original strike date, LAUSD's teachers union pushed its work-stoppage date to Jan. 14.
-
UTLA also made its first concessions in months. Talks will continue Wednesday.
-
The union will ask a judge whether it could strike on Jan. 10, as planned, or must wait until Jan. 14.
-
The district is asking a federal court to block some, but not all, teachers union members from striking.
-
Teachers union leaders announced they will call a strike on Jan. 10 if they haven't reached a contract agreement with LAUSD by then.
-
Surprise! It's less than what the teacher's wanted -- barely.
-
To some, the prospect that Latinos might be shut out of the three largest endorsements ought to put L.A.'s progressive credentials in question.
-
Big money, charters-versus-unions, and race-driven redistricting -- welcome to another LAUSD grudge match.
