May 25  5PM  ::  Unit E (Skilled Trades Employees) agreed to the unpaid furlough days providing more than $2.6 million dollars to help save jobs.

“Again, our valued employees are willing to share the sacrifices necessary to save jobs and services,” said Superintendent John Deasy.

Ron Miller, Unit E Business Representative, said, “The Building Trades and its affiliates continue to work with the District to develop innovative opportunities to bring savings to the District, maintain and upgrade infrastructure and keep our members on the job.”

SEIU (Service Employees International Union) agreed to the unpaid furlough days preserving thousands of union jobs and full-year assignments totaling more than $40 million!

“With this agreement the District recognizes the valuable role played by the SEIU membership in helping students learn,” said Dr. Deasy.

Bill A Lloyd, the unions executive director, said, “As parents of children at LAUSD we understand this sacrifice is necessary in order to save good jobs and the services our children need to learn.”

To take effect, the tentative agreements must be ratified by the union membership and approved by the LA Board of Education.
