West Sacramento Teachers Association (WSTA) West Sacramento teachers held a strike authorization vote in February; 96% of members participated and 97% voted in favor. WSTA educators are fighting for wages that keep up with the rising cost-of-living and skyrocketing health insurance costs. Members, students and community came together in January for a massive rally and to call on school district administration to keep West Sacramento teachers with West Sacramento students. Keep up with their fight on Facebook at @WSteachers. WSTA participated in an art build along with other Sacramento-area locals. Oakland Education Association (OEA) OEA members were expected to vote to approve a strike in mid-February as school district administration continues to refuse to prioritize educator recruitment and retention. Educators held a huge rally at a school board meeting in January to demand safe, stable and racially just schools where all Oakland students can thrive and educators can stay.
