The Demonstration Teachers at the UCLA Lab School, represented by UC-AFT, are on strike on January 25 and 26 because of unfair labor practices. Management refuses to bargain over the full scope of negotiable topics, including class size, instructional supports (including TAs, Instructional Assistants, and classroom materials budgets), planning time, reassignment, layoff, reappointment process, merit reviews, personal leave days, compensation for public engagement, and calendar. UCLA management and Lab School administration are wrongly stating that the strike is illegal.
