Teachers at the Oakland Educators Association office said they plan to rally outside the OUSD Board meeting Wednesday, one day after the union announced the members had voted to authorize a strike if labor contract talks don't progress.
"My big concern is that we'll have to go on strike next week because our district won't come to the table and bargain in good faith. They've had 6 months to settle this contract," said Carrie Anderson, an"87% of our members participated in our strike election. And 88% of those voted yes to authorize a strike," said Ishmael Armendariz, interim President of the Oakland Education Association.
Last Thursday, the district requested "injunctive relief", asking the Public Employment Relations Board to prohibit a strike. Oakland School Board President Mike Hutchinson says the district is still actively negotiating in good faith.
