Thousands of educators in San Francisco say they are ready to strike if they aren’t able to reach an agreeable contract with the district soon.
This comes as educators fight for higher wages, better health care benefits and more.
„When we fight, we win“, yelled one woman on a megaphone.
Hundreds of San Francisco public educators packed an entire city block Tuesday, rallying outside of district headquarters with the signatures of more than 4,100 teachers.
„If the district makes us, we’re preparing to strike“, said Cassondra Curiel, president of the United Educators of San Francisco.
„Right now, the district has said they’ll give us a 2% raise, but they are cutting back on a lot of our prep time, so they’re taking away a lot more right now than they would be giving us with a 2% raise“, said Ana Remstedt, who teaches at Lincoln High School.
