Teachers Strike Over Pay in Union City, California

Teachers with the New Haven Unified School District went on strike on the morning of Monday, May 20, after talks between district officials and a union representing teachers broke down the previous day.

According to local reports, the school district would not meet the teachers union request for a 10 percent pay rise over the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years.
