The L.A. case is different\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The L.A. strike is a standout due to its sheer size.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With \u003ca href=\"http://www.ed-data.org/district/Los-Angeles/Los-Angeles-Unified\">640,000 students\u003c/a>, and about \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/08/682190775/why-los-angeles-teachers-are-about-to-go-on-strike\">500,000\u003c/a> enrolled in the district’s public schools, Los Angeles represents the \u003ca href=\"https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d12/tables/dt12_104.asp\">second-largest school district\u003c/a> in the United States. It is second only to New York City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The L.A. strike also involves 34,000 teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To compare, the statewide 2018 teacher strike in West Virginia – where I am \u003ca href=\"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13603116.2014.964571\">researching\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13603116.2014.964571\">teacher strikes\u003c/a> and teacher shortages – involved about 20,000 teachers and affected approximately \u003ca href=\"https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/16/west-virginia-drop-public-school-enrollment/\">270,000 students\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, the political context is different. When West Virginia teachers walked out of the classroom, they were battling a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/12/us/teacher-walkouts-threaten-republican-grip-on-conservative-states.html\">conservative state legislature\u003c/a> in a largely rural, majority-white state. Los Angeles is urban, far more diverse and located in a state that has voted mostly Democratic in presidential elections \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-pol-ca-california-voting-history/\">since 1992\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Unified School District’s \u003ca href=\"https://achieve.lausd.net/site/handlers/filedownload.ashx?moduleinstanceid=47248&dataid=68431&FileName=Fingertip%20Facts2018-19_EnglishFinalDS.pdf\">student population\u003c/a> is 73 percent Latino, 10.5 percent white, 8.2 percent black and 4.2 percent Asian. The district serves over 150,000 students and their first language is not English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation for the L.A. teachers union is also different in several ways. For instance, it is engaged in an active fight against the rapid growth of charter schools.

"content": "\u003cp>Most of the nation's air traffic controllers — the folks who, among other things, prevent commercial flights from crashing into each other — are among the roughly 800,000 federal workers who will not be receiving a paycheck Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because of the partial federal government shutdown, now in its 21st day, with no end in sight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 10,000 air traffic controllers who work for the Federal Aviation Administration, 51,000 Transportation Security Administration officers and an undisclosed number of federal air marshals have been told to keep reporting to work because they're deemed essential.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We are still treating every flight as if our family members are on those flights.'\u003ccite>Frederick Naujoks, SFO air traffic controller\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>This includes Frederick Naujoks and his fellow air traffic controllers at San Francisco International Airport. Naujoks, local president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, and his colleagues have been reporting for work every day to make sure the airport's roughly 2,000 combined daily departures and arrivals take off and land safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government employees have always been paid after past shutdowns, and that's the expectation this time, too. But that assurance doesn't help pay the bills right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Brian Watt spoke with Naujoks about the situation, and whether air travelers should be worried about potential safety impacts due to the shutdown. Here is an abridged version of their conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So you guys are still showing up to work, right?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Absolutely. We are still working, those of us that are certified on at least one position. There's about five positions in the tower. We're still going to work every day, but we're not getting our paychecks. The primary impact is that people are going to work without pay. They're going to work for an IOU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secondary impacts are a lot of training is being suspended or stopping. We don't have the manpower to provide classroom training. We don't have the simulators available to us to provide training that's not on-the-job training and the staff support specialists that help us out with a lot of the backend duties. They're furloughed and they're not coming to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So people are manning the towers and the centers and they're guiding the flights from point A to point B — but that's just the first layer. All those secondary layers are gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11717573\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11717573\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/ATCinSFO-800x546.jpg\" alt=\"Air traffic controllers at work inside SFO's control tower.\" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/ATCinSFO-800x546.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/ATCinSFO-160x109.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/ATCinSFO-1020x696.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/ATCinSFO-1200x819.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/ATCinSFO.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air traffic controllers at work inside SFO's control tower. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Frederick Naujoks)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is it safe to fly?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wouldn't say that it's a safety issue at this moment. We are still going to work. We are still treating every flight as if our family members are on those flights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is that safety is something that you build up on. We call it a Swiss cheese model. We layer Swiss cheese until you can't see the holes through it, and hopefully if something passes through one layer it won't get all the way to the bottom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we're starting to do is, we're peeling off layers by lengthening the shutdown. Because without getting training done, without getting quality assurance and looking at event analysis done without any of these pieces that are from the back end of our job getting accomplished, eventually you're eroding away what is essentially a very safe and robust system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don't want to throw that away at all. We wanted to keep it safe and robust, but we can't do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I've even had a couple of people say that they want to work for Lyft or Uber, in addition to working air traffic ...
