UTLA to stage one day strike on May 15

As thousands (**maybe not that much according to news sites) take to the streets to demand amnesty for lawbreakers and thousands of indoctrinators, err, teachers preach the virtues of this "international day of the collective worker", United Teachers of Los Angeles is "this close" to authorizing a one day strike on May 15.

From the Los Angeles Times.

The union representing Los Angeles teachers is moments away from announcing plans for a one-day strike on May 15 to protest the pending layoffs of as many as 3,500 teachers.

The tentative plan has teachers picketing outside their schools that morning, then meeting at one or more locations for an afternoon rally. Demonstrators would be protesting against increased class sizes for students in the Los Angeles Unified School District as well as the layoffs.

No doubt the choice of the May 15 date has to do with the Special Election Day on May 19.

Look for other unions to replicate UTLA actions with work place activities to bring out the vote on Prop 1A-1F.

In the words of Nancy Reagan, "JUST SAY NO!!"

****Maybe the march organizers should of hired those professional protestors from ACORN??

Let's see... LAUSD employs 80,000 people, 20,000 of those teachers. Maybe if they dumped HALF of their 60,000 non-teachers those teachers wouldn't have to strinke...

The strike is illegal and contrary to the existing collective bargaining agreement, yet the UTLA plans to do it on May 15.

What ever happened to the rule of law?

The UTLA needs new leadership.
