New “shocking” allegations tied to César Chávez are casting a shadow over Sacramento’s annual march honoring the labor icon, even as organizers push forward amid growing concern. At the same time, labor tensions escalate in Los Angeles, where the teachers union is poised to announce a strike date following an overwhelming 97% authorization vote by SEIU Local 99 members. Adding to the turmoil, LAUSD faces mounting financial pressure, dipping into reserves as rising costs and the end of pandemic relief funds strain its latest budget.
