SCTA files complaint against SCUSD

The Sacramento City Teachers Association, the union representing teachers at Sacramento City Unified, has filed an official complaint against the school district over its latest bargaining proposal to make up for lost days from a strike earlier this year. The strike, held by SCTA and the Service Employees International Union 1021 chapter, resulted in eight days of instruction lost after failed negotiations between these two unions and SCUSD. The negotiations included conversations about competitive wages and health care plans. After coming to an agreement, both sides have been actively negotiating how to make up for lost time. Last week, the school district proposed that the end of the year be pushed back from June 17 to June 24 and that there be certain days where there would be a ninth hour of instruction. SCTA said it is holding off on signing due to a provision it believes is not legitimate.
