The United Educators of San Francisco (UESF) went on strike on Monday, shutting down the San Francisco Unified School District's 120 schools and robbing 50,000 children of their regularly scheduled education.
The strike is the first one in 50 years, reports ABC10, and will continue "until we win the schools our students deserve and the contracts our members deserve," said UESF President Cassondra Curiel at a Monday press conference. Curiel's statement suggests that the district is taking advantage of union members, but the current contract is already quite generous.
