Oakland Unified School District board meeting on Monday, March 4, 2019.

Oakland teachers won a big pay increase. But over 40% of union members voted not to take the deal, saying it didn’t meet enough of their demands. What’s next for Oakland’s school district, and for the labor movement?

"This strike is part of a real wave. In 2018 there were more major strikes than any other year in the last three decades."
