Strike Threat By Mt. Diablo Teachers Union
As inflation soars, teachers ask for a salary increase of 12.5 percent over three years.
WALNUT CREEK, CA — Mediation between the Mt. Diablo teachers' union and school district officials have failed, according to a union announcement Friday.
The Mt. Diablo Education Association and Mt. Diablo Unified School District met with a mediator for three days last week without reaching an agreement, union officials said. The process now moves to a fact-finding stage of unspecified duration.
The union is seeking a salary increase of 12.5 percent over three years, according to the news release, in which union officials said teachers will strike if necessary.
