LOS ANGELES—With labor talks at a standstill and no new negotiations scheduled, Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) campuses will be closed on March 21, leaving more than 400,000 students without classes as service workers strike to demand improved wages and working conditions.
The 30,000 workers represented by the Service Employees International Union Local 99—including cafeteria workers, bus drivers, custodians, special education assistants, and others—are set to begin picketing at 4:30 a.m. The roughly 30,000 members of the powerful teachers union, United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA), will join the picket line.

LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said at a late-afternoon news conference Monday that he had hoped to have “a transparent, honest conversation” that day for an agreement to stave off the planned three-day strike, but it never happened.
