Feb. 4, 2019: The ballots have been counted. With 84% of our members voting, 95% voted to authorize a strike. Oakland teachers are #strikeready

“This is a clear message that our members are ready to fight for the schools our students deserve,” said OEA President Keith Brown. “This powerful vote is a mandate for smaller class size, more student support and living wage. It is a mandate to keep our neighborhood schools open and not shut down our schools.”
