On Monday, 6,400 San Francisco teachers joined the growing strike movement, walking out on strike to demand wage increases, enforceable class-size limits, and increased funding, with tens of thousands of teachers in Los Angeles voting to authorize strike action over the same issues.
4,000 pharmacy and laboratory workers joined the ongoing strike of 31,000 Kaiser Permanente nurses and other healthcare workers, now entering its third week, against profit-driven cuts to healthcare, while 40,000 graduate students across the University of California system vote to authorize another strike.
The strike movement is being driven by inflation, deterioration of living standards, and the destruction of jobs, with union bureaucrats, such as National Education Association president Becky Pringle, who earns nearly $500,000, working to disrupt and isolate the resistance, citing "no-strike" clauses and pushing for sellout agreements.
