In our latest round of negotiations with LAUSD over reopening plans for the 2020-21 school year, our bargaining team addressed safety protocols, PPE, hero pay and roles of school bus drivers and paraprofessionals as distance learning continues.
We started negotiations with LAUSD this week to discuss the district's plans for the new school year. We know instruction will continue online but there are also many Local 99 members who will be reporting to work at school or job sites.

Our bargaining team negotiates our contract directly with LAUSD management -- and guiding and advising their work is the new Member Contract Advisory Council.
