The Sacramento City Teachers Association (SCTA) & SEIU 1021, representing teachers & classified staff in Sacramento schools, are in their 3rd day of a strike for adequate staffing and a fair contract. Thousands of teachers, staff, and community members have been on the picket lines with the rallying cry, “Students, we’ve got your back!” In the words of SCTA President David Fisher, “Ironically we are walking out to make sure every student has a teacher in the classroom.”
Despite a budget surplus, the district has refused to budge, invoking a short sighted and frankly anti-student austerity logic that should be familiar to AFT 2121 members. Solidarity to our labor allies as they stand up for the students and workers of Sacramento. See background on their struggle in the Sacramento Bee and get live updates on SCTA & SEIU 1021‘s Twitter.
