San Francisco Teacher Union Officials Picket

Another strike threat in San Francisco with picketing. Laura Waxman has the story in the San Francisco Examiner online.

At least 200 educators and their supporters calling for higher wages under the threat of a strike stormed the San Francisco Unified School District’s headquarters on Tuesday.

Dozens more echoed that sentiment, declaring that they were prepared to strike should contract negotiations that have been ongoing since February continue to stall. Hours earlier, hundreds of educators wearing black union shirts rallied outside of the school district’s administrative offices at 555 Franklin St., waving signs that read “I’m ready to strike” and “SF educators need a raise.”
