We won our strike when we reached a historic tentative agreement

Here are some highlights:
Sac City Schools Classified Staff Went on Strike & Won Big!
Both SEIU 1021 and SCTA reached tentative agreements Sunday evening. The strike is now over.
“When we fight, we win! When we fights, students win!” was the mantra for the eight workdays (and twelve calendar days) of the Sacramento City Unified School District strike. Both classified staff–including school bus drivers, nutrition service workers, custodians, instructional aides, maintenance workers, and clerical staff–and teachers represented by Sacramento City Teachers Association (SCTA) went on strike starting March 23.
STRIKE OVER! We Have Reached a Tentative Agreement!
When We Fight, We Win. WE WON OUR STRIKE.
From the first day of our strike with SCTA on Wednesday, March
23, our mantra has been, “When we fight, we win. When we fight,
students win.” You kept on showing up to the picket lines and our
rallies day after day. You kept on sharing your stories, and
the community kept on supporting us and demanding the
superintendent and school board do their
jobs. We are so happy to announce that our
strike is over.

Thanks to You, We Are Winning
Once again, you showed up and spoke out.
You have kept on showing up to the picket lines morning

how you were going to make rent. You came to the rally and made
your voices heard, on stage, in the crowd, on the sidewalks, on
social media, and to reporters and TV cameras. You shared your
stories: the love and heart you put into the work you do. How
hard it is to do your job–and how you wouldn’t want to do
anything else–you just want basic dignity and respect at
work.
