Our sympathy strike begins today. Stand with UESF and all workers in SFUSD to protect our schools and communities.
Why are the teachers striking?
The District has not made contract proposals that the members of UESF can accept regarding family healthcare, wages, and special education workloads. The District is demanding larger class sizes to pay for wages, and less time to prepare. You can read more at https://wecantwait.info/parents/uesf or https://www.uesf.org.
How long will this go on?
We don’t know yet, it’s up to the District to come back to the table with acceptable proposals. There has been progress over the weekend, as the District finally acknowledged their responsibility to protect our immigrant students and families. The parties are back at the table today starting at noon.
What should I do to support the strike?
Yesterday, you received a “Staff Redeployment Assignment Email”. **If you plan to strike, you should ignore it.**
DO NOT SHOW UP at your deployment site. Instead, join your school’s picket line. If your work location is not at a school site, if you work in the central office, or at multiple school sites, please consider joining one of the following picket lines listed here:
- Presidio Middle School, 450 30th Avenue, starting at 7:30 am
- Marina Middle School, 3500 Fillmore Street, starting at 7:30 am
- Rally at Civic Center Plaza, starting at 1:00 pm
- PLEASE NOTE: The rally location has changed.
IF YOU ARE ALSO AN SFUSD PARENT – you can download the learning packets provided by the district, but DO NOT sign the form. Signing the form could extend the strike by giving the District money to pay scabs.
