Members of Twin Rivers United Educators, or TRUE, began a strike on March 5.
Members of Twin Rivers United Educators, or TRUE, began a strike on March 5. It is the first for teachers in the history of the Twin Rivers Unified School District. The work stoppage meant that 25,000 students across 49 schools in Sacramento, North Highlands and Rio Linda went without their regular teachers. Union leaders say they are fighting for improved compensation, fully paid employer healthcare and smaller class sizes. Thursday was a momentous day for the district, with teachers demonstrating at campuses, the district calling for a return to negotiations for union leaders and parents trying to determine whether to send their children to school as substitutes handled classroom duties. The strike is expected to continue Friday. To read more, check out sacbee.com. ✍️: Jennah Pendleton, Annika Merrilees and Graham Womack 📷️: Renée C.
