Today we took over Grand Park in the first-ever joint rally with our sisters and brothers in SEIU Local 99 and the largest rally since our 2019 strike. UTLA and SEIU 99 education workers stood United for LA Schools alongside students, parents, and the Los Angeles community.

Our massive turnout of 45,000 at today’s rally demanded the attention of the media and the whole City of Los Angeles, and succeeded in making Carvalho look weak.

On Friday, our member bargaining team goes back to the table with the district.After the largest rally since our 2019 strike and our commitment of solidarity with SEIU 99, the district better come ready with big movement on our core demands.
