"It's About Time"

Rally Raise ClockLeft represents the number of days as of Nov. 13, 2013
UTLA will be holding a mass “It’s About Time” rally outside LAUSD headquarters beginning at 4 p.m. and making our demands at 5 p..m on November 13.

UTLA member participation is key. LAUSD will not willingly hand over a raise. Power concedes nothing without a fight. They need to see us out in the streets, with our colleagues, fighting for what we deserve.
"It’s about time" the District recognizes our financial sacrifices during the recession. "It’s about time" LAUSD bureaucrats stop wasting new funding from Prop. 30 on their pet projects. "It’s about time" teachers, and health and human services professionals get a pay raise.
It has been nearly seven years since our members have had a raise. 
UTLA’s salary demand is simple: a salary increase for this year that fairly reflects the additional funding coming in from Proposition 30 and that begins paying employees back for the sacrifices we made during the recession to keep this District afloat.
