Oakland teachers are on strike this morning 

They're angry over a reversal by the Oakland Unified School District on its decision months ago to take plans to close and merge of several schools off the table. 

The school Board last week voted to reverse itself meaning campus closures are once again a possibility.

Todays' action by teachers is 'wildcat' strike - one that is NOT sanctioned by the union.

A spokesperson for Oakland teachers says they're opposed to mergers and job cuts the district has told them are necessary in order to provide them with a raise.

KCBS's Raquel Maria Dillon is live in Oakland with the story.
