San Francisco schools expect strike

CBS5.com: San Francisco schools expect strike

With a looming strike expected to begin Thursday, San Francisco Unified School District officials indicated today that advanced plans have been made but declined to go into much detail.

Union officials are planning a news conference this evening and are likely to announce that they are giving 24 hours notice of a strike.

Service Employees International Union Local 790, which represents about 1,200 food service, custodial and secretarial workers, has been negotiating with the district since October 2004 for a raise and more money for dependents’ health insurance. The union’s members have been working under expired contracts for months.
