The Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation’s second-largest school district, has kept all 1,000 campuses closed Thursday, the third and final day of a massive walkout of two unions representing teachers and school staff.
The strike is led by the union representing staff that includes bus drivers, custodians and teaching assistants, which has demanded a 30% salary hikes, among other issues. The teachers union is joining their walkout in solidarity. Mayor Karen Bass has stepped into the dispute to help mediate talks.
