I'm sure there are instances where these limited time strikes are effective, but I can't think of any. Just seems to send the signal that it can be waited out.

I agree. Keep striking until it works. The kids are already fucked with the way things are now.

Maybe hoping it’ll get parents angry enough to yell at the school board about mistreating service workers but not angry enough where the parents blame the service workers for holding up their kids’ education

But again, does this ever happen, or is it just naive dream that should've died in its infancy?

Like, I mean they've been here before. History says they will be here again. It just seems like they're following some dream of how things should go, but if their dream keeps bringing them to this, maybe find a new one?

They already have an offer of 23%

Seems to be working

Edit: It worked, they got what they want.

People who are helping develop the next generation should be paid a livable wage !!! I will die on this rock

THey had an offer of 23% 2 days ago when the striking began, they rejected, and in context that's up from $25,000 in Los Angeles California, where they've been working WITHOUT a contract for almost 3 years now. Also that 23% number is just what was released by the district(against the confidentiality agreement they entered into with the negotiation team) to hurt the cause of the strikers.

It clearly hasn't been working at all and they need to take more more meaningful steps. The district is just fucking with them

Working isn't the past tense, it's present.

The strikes action ramped up, the offer ramped up. It's still a working process.

Edit: They just got what they want.

Good work downvoters.

23% sounds like an insane amount to most people. Until they see what the yearly total is. They deserve more, and that's very obvious.

Edit: I don't think I disagree with any of your views here, just trying to clarify that their 23% is totally different than a 23% for anyone else. Teachers are getting fucked and it's time they get what they deserve; more money.
