- Los Angeles schools averted a strike that would have impacted nearly 400,000 students after the school district and its support staff union, SEIU Local 99, reached a tentative deal.
- The agreement, announced early Tuesday, includes "major gains" for union members, such as raises and more hours.
- Additional terms of the tentative deal involve protections against subcontracting, a halt to IT layoffs, and increased staffing.
- Teachers, principals, and other staff were prepared to walk out if an agreement was not reached, with unions representing these groups having already secured their own tentative contracts over the weekend.
- SEIU Local 99 instructed its members to report to work as usual, thanking fellow organizations and the Los Angeles community for their support in achieving the "victory."
