Perhaps inspired by combative teachers in recent struggles seen in the U.S., such as in Chicago and more recently Minnesota, and aware of the strength of the union and the power of struggle, this time Sacramento teachers are fighting for a wage increase in line with inflation, to keep the health care plan they have, and to increase the support available to their own students. The Sacramento City Teachers’ Association (SCTA) announced the strike last week in a demonstration where at least 25,000 people gathered, showing the strength of the teachers’ struggle and the degree of  community support. In addition to the teachers, 1800 education workers, classified school staff represented by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1021, are also striking.
