"content": "\u003cp>California recently approved a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2019/01/newsom-paid-family-leave-proposal-analyzed/\">longer paid family leave\u003c/a>, allowing workers whose pregnancies fall on the right side of the new law to take up to eight weeks off with partial pay to bond with a new baby. How’s that going to work? We asked the experts and read the fine print to help you figure it out now, before you’re too sleep deprived to think straight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ovulation calendar, that part’s on you.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>I’m about to have or adopt a baby. Do I get the longer paid leave?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Probably not. The new eight-week plan kicks in on July 1, 2020. If you file a claim to take paid family leave before that date, you will likely be put on the current plan that allows for six weeks of paid leave, according to Loree Levy, deputy director of the Employment Development Department. She said the rules are still being finalized, but that’s how she expects it will work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember: Paid family leave is on top of the six weeks of\u003ca href=\"https://www.dfeh.ca.gov/resources/frequently-asked-questions/employment-faqs/pregnancy-disability-leave-faqs/\"> disability pay\u003c/a> that women can get after childbirth.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Can I take six weeks of paid family leave now and get two more weeks after July 1, 2020?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Probably not, Levy said. Again, the rules aren’t final but that’s her expectation based on how changes have been made in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Does my baby have to be born after July 1, 2020, for me to take eight weeks of paid leave?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Probably not. Whether you get six or eight weeks of paid leave will likely depend on the “effective date” you enter on the paperwork you file with the state, not when your baby is born or adopted. Same caveat as above: The rules are still in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"family-leave\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A glimmer of good news for families expecting a baby in the spring: If your baby is born before July 1 and you can wait to start taking paid leave, you may be able to get eight weeks of paid leave by putting a July 1, 2020, effective date on your claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>I’m not pregnant but my partner is. Do I get eight weeks of paid leave too?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes. Both parents can take up to eight weeks of paid family leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How much will I get paid?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>About 60% to 70% of your normal wages, \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Disability/Calculating_PFL_Benefit_Payment_Amounts.htm\">depending on your income\u003c/a>. Gov. Gavin Newsom has put together a task force to study how to increase that to 90% for low-income workers, but it hasn’t yet come up with a plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some employers may allow you to take vacation time or provide other benefits to get your paycheck up to 100%, said Sebastian Chilco, an employment attorney with Littler, a law firm in San Francisco. Though you can file for paid family leave through the state without telling your employer, he recommends letting your company know so you can find out what other benefits are available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a lot easier to deal with things in advance,” Chilco said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How do I know if I qualify for paid family leave?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You need to have paid into the State Disability Insurance fund in the last five to 18 months. In general, this is a program for private sector workers, though some government employees also participate. Check your pay stub for payments to “CASDI” and \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Disability/Am_I_Eligible_for_PFL_Benefits.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here\u003c/a> for more details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c01df46d-aa66-4d56-bc4b-5041f4eac695?src=embed\" title=\"paid family leave\" width=\"800\" height=\"850\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Does my employer have to let me take the longer leave if I want it?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Only in certain circumstances. If you have worked at your company for at least 26 hours a week over the last year \u003cem>and\u003c/em> your worksite has at least 20 employees, your employer has to hold your job for you while you take baby-bonding leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But smaller companies are not required to hold your job for you. That means about 25% of California workers are paying into the leave system but could be fired if they take it, said Jenna Gerry, an attorney at Legal Aid at Work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group supported \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB135\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a bill\u003c/a> this year that would have aligned the rules “so if you qualify for paid family leave you also qualify for the right to take time off and return to your job after your leave,” Gerry said. The bill stalled, but advocates plan to try again next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>I thought Gov. Newsom proposed six months of paid leave for new parents. Why are you talking about eight weeks?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s true that Newsom proposed six months of paid leave, saying in January that “there is no substitute for parents spending time with their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his idea is that each baby in California will be \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2019/01/newsom-paid-family-leave-proposal-analyzed/\">cared for by a parent or close family member for six months\u003c/a>, not that each worker will get six months of paid leave. Newsom’s plan envisions two family members each taking two to four months off to care for their baby. So for two-parent families, the new eight-week paid leave gets pretty close to that goal. If one parent is the birth mother who also takes six weeks of pregnancy disability pay, the family would get 22 weeks of paid time off, or about five and a half months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s task force is studying how California could structure a paid leave plan that would allow six months of family care for every baby. It’s expected to make recommendations in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who’s paying for all this?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You are, if you’re among the 95% of California workers who pay into the State Disability Insurance fund through a 1% tax on your paycheck. The state is lowering the amount of money held in the fund’s reserves to cover the cost of the additional two weeks of leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Paid leave isn’t just for parents, though — right?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Right. You can take six weeks of paid family leave to care for a seriously ill child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse or registered domestic partner. And that increases to eight weeks on July 1, 2020. But the job protection rules are a little different than they are for people taking leave to bond with a baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

How’s that going to work? We asked the experts and read the fine print to help you figure it out now, before you’re too sleep deprived to think straight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ovulation calendar, that part’s on you.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>I’m about to have or adopt a baby. Do I get the longer paid leave?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Probably not. The new eight-week plan kicks in on July 1, 2020. If you file a claim to take paid family leave before that date, you will likely be put on the current plan that allows for six weeks of paid leave, according to Loree Levy, deputy director of the Employment Development Department. She said the rules are still being finalized, but that’s how she expects it will work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember: Paid family leave is on top of the six weeks of\u003ca href=\"https://www.dfeh.ca.gov/resources/frequently-asked-questions/employment-faqs/pregnancy-disability-leave-faqs/\"> disability pay\u003c/a> that women can get after childbirth.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Can I take six weeks of paid family leave now and get two more weeks after July 1, 2020?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Probably not, Levy said. Again, the rules aren’t final but that’s her expectation based on how changes have been made in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Does my baby have to be born after July 1, 2020, for me to take eight weeks of paid leave?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Probably not. Whether you get six or eight weeks of paid leave will likely depend on the “effective date” you enter on the paperwork you file with the state, not when your baby is born or adopted. Same caveat as above: The rules are still in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Do I get eight weeks of paid leave too?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes. Both parents can take up to eight weeks of paid family leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How much will I get paid?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>About 60% to 70% of your normal wages, \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Disability/Calculating_PFL_Benefit_Payment_Amounts.htm\">depending on your income\u003c/a>. Gov. Gavin Newsom has put together a task force to study how to increase that to 90% for low-income workers, but it hasn’t yet come up with a plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some employers may allow you to take vacation time or provide other benefits to get your paycheck up to 100%, said Sebastian Chilco, an employment attorney with Littler, a law firm in San Francisco. Though you can file for paid family leave through the state without telling your employer, he recommends letting your company know so you can find out what other benefits are available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a lot easier to deal with things in advance,” Chilco said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How do I know if I qualify for paid family leave?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You need to have paid into the State Disability Insurance fund in the last five to 18 months. In general, this is a program for private sector workers, though some government employees also participate. Check your pay stub for payments to “CASDI” and \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Disability/Am_I_Eligible_for_PFL_Benefits.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here\u003c/a> for more details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c01df46d-aa66-4d56-bc4b-5041f4eac695?src=embed\" title=\"paid family leave\" width=\"800\" height=\"850\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Does my employer have to let me take the longer leave if I want it?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Only in certain circumstances. If you have worked at your company for at least 26 hours a week over the last year \u003cem>and\u003c/em> your worksite has at least 20 employees, your employer has to hold your job for you while you take baby-bonding leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But smaller companies are not required to hold your job for you. That means about 25% of California workers are paying into the leave system but could be fired if they take it, said Jenna Gerry, an attorney at Legal Aid at Work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her group supported \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB135\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a bill\u003c/a> this year that would have aligned the rules “so if you qualify for paid family leave you also qualify for the right to take time off and return to your job after your leave,” Gerry said. The bill stalled, but advocates plan to try again next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>I thought Gov. Newsom proposed six months of paid leave for new parents. Why are you talking about eight weeks?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s true that Newsom proposed six months of paid leave, saying in January that “there is no substitute for parents spending time with their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Newsom’s plan envisions two family members each taking two to four months off to care for their baby. So for two-parent families, the new eight-week paid leave gets pretty close to that goal. If one parent is the birth mother who also takes six weeks of pregnancy disability pay, the family would get 22 weeks of paid time off, or about five and a half months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s task force is studying how California could structure a paid leave plan that would allow six months of family care for every baby. It’s expected to make recommendations in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who’s paying for all this?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You are, if you’re among the 95% of California workers who pay into the State Disability Insurance fund through a 1% tax on your paycheck. The state is lowering the amount of money held in the fund’s reserves to cover the cost of the additional two weeks of leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Paid leave isn’t just for parents, though — right?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Right. You can take six weeks of paid family leave to care for a seriously ill child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse or registered domestic partner. And that increases to eight weeks on July 1, 2020. But the job protection rules are a little different than they are for people taking leave to bond with a baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Whether it’s from a former employer or their own individual pension accounts.

Negotiations continued Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s “last, best and final offer,” made on Thursday, was quickly rejected by union officials, although unlike previous offers, teachers were asked to review it and give feedback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s proposal gave teachers two somewhat confusing options, a choice between more cash upfront or more modest but ongoing salary hikes. The first included a 3% on-schedule salary increase for the 2018-19 school year, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2019, as well as a 3% off-schedule onetime pay increase for the upcoming school year. The second option included a 4.5% off-schedule, one-time increase for the 2018-19 year and a 3% ongoing increase beginning in July. Both also included the possibility of up to a 1% additional increase if more state funding became available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thought is that some folks don’t actually like off-schedule increases, especially folks getting close to retirement,” said district spokesman John Mattos. “Do you want some immediate cash now for your folks and get 3% next year, or do you want to give something to your retirees, which everyone would get?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although a significantly better offer than what the district had put forward at the onset of the strike — a 1% increase for next year and a onetime 3% payment — union leaders said it still fell far short of the union’s current demand of a 6% ongoing increase covering the 2018-19 and 2019-20 school years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union, which initially sought a 10% percent ongoing bump, is now also insisting that striking teachers be fully compensated for every day they’ve been on the picket line, a demand the district has adamantly refused and called “regressive.” The union argues that the district can easily afford the “return-to-work bonus” because of the huge amount of money it has saved over the last three weeks and the fact that it’s not losing any state funding because of low attendance figures this late in the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union is also demanding that the district give striking teachers nearing retirement a full year of credit toward their retirement plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we are sort of at the point where everything we worried about at the beginning of the strike has given way to just anger. Seething anger,” said Duncanson. “The district has pulled the rug out from under us so often. … The things that they’re doing, it feels like they’re trying to punish the teachers, but in fact they’re taking it out on the kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the district says it has stretched itself as thin as it can go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district estimates the union’s proposal would result in roughly $18 million in cuts and is simply not feasible, given its declining enrollment and deficit spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just can’t swing that. It would devastate programs and possibly compromise student safety,” Mattos said, noting that a number of support services would likely land on the chopping block. “It would be a gigantic hit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although schools have remained open since the strike began on May 20 — staffed largely by district personnel — virtually no teachers have crossed the picket line, and only about 10% of students have come to class, according to the district. District-run after-school programs have also been canceled, including one geared toward low-income students that provides meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And unlike the Oakland teachers strike earlier this year, during which scores of community centers, churches and libraries offered varying degrees of programming for children not attending school, there appear to be many fewer options available in this community. Most kids are simply staying home, according to teachers and district officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district said it has already started calculating end-of-year grades for seniors — who were scheduled to take their final exams this week and need to know if they’re graduating — by taking the highest of three quarterly grades from the past year. It plans to make similar calculations for other grades starting next week, if there’s still no resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District teachers make an average of $96,544 a year, the highest in the county, a point the district has underscored repeatedly. But unlike their counterparts in most neighboring districts, teachers here also pay full health care premiums, which union members say can add up to at least $20,000. The union said it is simply seeking a cost-of-living increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ku’e Angeles defended the union’s latest offer, arguing that the district has saved a considerable amount of money over the last two weeks and can afford to compensate teachers for time lost without cutting into the future budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think we’re asking for something that would come close to bankrupting the district,” he said. “I’m hoping that we can come to terms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a deal is eventually reached, the proposed contract must then be approved by a majority of union members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For teachers and students, though, frustration has continued to mount as the strike drags on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s ridiculous we’re still out here,” Mike Isenberg, a history teacher at James Logan High School in Union City, said. “This isn’t about money, this is about equity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a feeling of disbelief among teachers and students that this is still going on, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all hope that is it going to end, every day,” he said. “Even graduation is in question right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>New Haven teachers are now mired in the third week of their districtwide strike, following yet another marathon round of negotiations this weekend that failed to produce a deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a nearly 12-hour bargaining session on Sunday with district officials, the New Haven Teachers Association laid out their revised salary demands, including a 3% raise for the current school year, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2019, and another 3% increase for the 2019-20 school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although slightly lower than its previous offer of nearly 7% over two years, the union’s proposal also required that teachers be compensated for every day they’ve been on strike, and that retiring teachers will still get credit towards retirement for those days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to end this strike, and this bargaining team has made considerable movement,” said Joe Ku’e Angeles, president of the New Haven Teachers Association, which represents some 600 teachers, counselors and nurses in schools across Union City and South Hayward. “The proposal falls within the recommendation of the\u003ca href=\"http://newhaventa.org/media/1072/ff19-01-a4-new-haven-usd-and-new-haven-teachers-association-perb-sf-im-3217-e.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> neutral fact-finding report\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside label=\"More Strike Coverage\" tag=\"new-haven-unified-school-district\"]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the New Haven Unified School District said the union’s latest offer amounted to a step backwards that would actually cost the district more than the previous proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The regressive nature of NHTA’s current proposal represents bad faith bargaining and illustrates an unwillingness of NHTA’s Bargaining Team to end the teacher strike,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.mynhusd.org/apps/news/article/1019898\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the district said\u003c/a> in a statement. The district also emphasized that it would not compensate teachers for any of the days they participated in the strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Negotiations are expected to resume on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now in its 10th day, this is the first strike in the district’s history. With less than two weeks remaining in the school year, the walkout has left roughly 11,000 students in limbo, particularly those in high school who were scheduled to begin final exams today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although schools have remained open since the strike began on May 20 — staffed by temporary substitutes and district personnel — virtually no teachers have crossed the picket line, and only a small percentage of students have come to class, the union said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a deal is not reached soon, the district intends to calculate students’ final grades based on several data points from previous quarters this year, said district spokesman John Mattos. He said he was hopeful, though, that it wouldn’t come to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really want to meet today and push this thing over the goal line and get kids back in their classrooms,” he said. “I think both sides are very highly motivated to get things done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Sunday, the district’s offer included a one-time 3% pay increase for the current year (paid retroactively) and a 2% increase that would take effect in the middle of the 2019-20 school year. “This offer would give teachers, on average, $2,900 for 18/19 and an ongoing increase for 19/20 of approximately $1,000, which would compound to $2,000 every year after,” the district said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district on Sunday also tried sweetening the deal by offering the possibility of small additional increases if more state funding becomes available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that’s still a far cry from the union’s current demand, the gap has narrowed considerably since the strike began. At that time, the union was demanding a 10% raise over two academic years, while the district had offered a 1% increase for next year and a one-time 3% payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are closer than we’ve been,” district spokesman Mattos said. “I think that’s heartening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the union’s current proposal, he added, which the district estimates would result in roughly $18 million in cuts, is simply not feasible given the district’s declining enrollment and deficit spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just can’t swing that. It would devastate programs and possibly compromise student safety,” Mattos said, noting that a number of support services would likely land on the chopping block. “It would be a gigantic hit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District teachers make an average of $96,544 a year, the highest in the county, a point the district has underscored repeatedly.

The district also emphasized that it would not compensate teachers for any of the days they participated in the strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Negotiations are expected to resume on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now in its 10th day, this is the first strike in the district’s history. With less than two weeks remaining in the school year, the walkout has left roughly 11,000 students in limbo, particularly those in high school who were scheduled to begin final exams today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although schools have remained open since the strike began on May 20 — staffed by temporary substitutes and district personnel — virtually no teachers have crossed the picket line, and only a small percentage of students have come to class, the union said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a deal is not reached soon, the district intends to calculate students’ final grades based on several data points from previous quarters this year, said district spokesman John Mattos. He said he was hopeful, though, that it wouldn’t come to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really want to meet today and push this thing over the goal line and get kids back in their classrooms,” he said. “I think both sides are very highly motivated to get things done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Sunday, the district’s offer included a one-time 3% pay increase for the current year (paid retroactively) and a 2% increase that would take effect in the middle of the 2019-20 school year. “This offer would give teachers, on average, $2,900 for 18/19 and an ongoing increase for 19/20 of approximately $1,000, which would compound to $2,000 every year after,” the district said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district on Sunday also tried sweetening the deal by offering the possibility of small additional increases if more state funding becomes available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that’s still a far cry from the union’s current demand, the gap has narrowed considerably since the strike began. At that time, the union was demanding a 10% raise over two academic years, while the district had offered a 1% increase for next year and a one-time 3% payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are closer than we’ve been,” district spokesman Mattos said. “I think that’s heartening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the union’s current proposal, he added, which the district estimates would result in roughly $18 million in cuts, is simply not feasible given the district’s declining enrollment and deficit spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just can’t swing that. It would devastate programs and possibly compromise student safety,” Mattos said, noting that a number of support services would likely land on the chopping block. “It would be a gigantic hit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District teachers make an average of $96,544 a year, the highest in the county, a point the district has underscored repeatedly. But unlike their counterparts in most neighboring districts, teachers here also pay full health care premiums, which union members say can add up to at least $20,000. The union said it is simply seeking a cost-of-living increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Long Bargaining Process\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite ongoing talks, and the involvement of State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, who participated in Friday’s negotiations, tensions between the two sides have been ratcheting up.

The strike, which has now outlasted similar teacher walkouts in Oakland and Los Angeles earlier this year, has left the district’s roughly 11,000 students in limbo, with the end of the school year just two weeks away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/EastBayMajority/status/1134519411451105280\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students are losing out on quality educational minutes with their teachers that they have had all year, and teachers want to be back in the classroom, but are faced with the difficult decision to stand up for themselves,” he added. “I am happy to do what I can to help with this strike, but I want it known that my priority is to end it, and I will do what I can to encourage all parties to stay at the table until a resolution is reached, preferably as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday’s talks follow an ultimately unsuccessful marathon of negotiations over Memorial Day weekend and earlier this week. Although a deal remained elusive, district and union negotiators have come slightly closer this week to reaching a compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the onset of the strike, the union sought a 10% raise over two academic years, but has since lowered its demand to a 3.7% cost-of-living raise for the 2018-19 school year and an additional 3.26% bump for 2019-20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district, which had initially put on the table a 1% raise for next year and a one-time 3% payment, is now offering a one-time 3% pay increase for this year (to be paid retroactively) and a 2% increase for the 2019-20 school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the two sides were still strikingly far apart heading into Friday’s bargaining session, with district officials saying they simply lacked the funds to come anywhere close to meeting the union’s current demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Mattos, a spokesman for the district, said New Haven teachers are already the highest paid in Alameda County, leaving very little room to maneuver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are a declining enrollment district who is deficit spending,” he said. “We’re making millions of dollars’ worth of cuts every year.
