Judge sees no reason to delay Los Angeles teachers strike

A Los Angeles judge found no reason to delay an expected teachers strike against the nation’s secondlargest school district.

Superior Court Judge Mary Strobel ruled Thursday on the issue of whether United Teachers Los Angeles had given legally proper notice of a strike to the Los Angeles Unified School District. After the ruling, the district said it’s willing to negotiate “around the clock” to avoid a walkout. The union initially set the strike to begin Thursday but delayed it until Monday while awaiting the court ruling.
