LAUSD Continues Contract Negotiations with SEIU After Reaching Deals with Other Unions
Local 99 is seeking higher wages and stable schedules as 30,000 workers could walk out if talks fail, officials said.
- On Monday, the Los Angeles Unified School District continued last-minute negotiations with Service Employees International Union Local 99 to avert a strike scheduled for Tuesday, even as two other unions announced tentative agreements on Sunday.
- Local 99 members have worked under an expired contract since June 30, 2024, demanding wages that lift them above poverty; members describe current offers as keeping them "unlivable" in Los Angeles County.
- Representing roughly 30,000 workers—bus drivers, custodians, and cafeteria workers—earning about $35,000 annually, Local 99 has secured a solidarity pledge from United Teachers Los Angeles , whose members refuse to cross picket lines.
- Families of 390,000 students must scramble to make contingency plans as the district prepared for potential closure of 1,302 campuses on Tuesday, launching a website offering food distribution and child care resources.
- Unlike previous walkouts, Local 99's proposed strike would be open-ended, meaning schools could remain closed indefinitely as mediators assess positions to either break the stalemate or prepare for sustained disruption.
