Oceanside teachers picket over labor talks
Oceanside district school teachers in San Diego are protesting long delays over labor negotiations. The teachers, who have been working without a contract for a year and a half, have suspended all after-school activities to highlight the extra hours they work and are not compensated for. School board officials have said that they are ready to negotiate, although warns that the budget is currently running a $20 million deficit, and they won’t be able to afford many concessions.
