United Educators of San Francisco

UESF represents more than 6,500 SFUSD employees including teachers, paraprofessionals, nurses, counselors, and psychologists.

None of this would have been possible without the thousands of you who have shown up to our board actions, signed petitions to commit to our campaign, written letters to our Board of Education, and–in the last four days–shown up in the rain to support your big bargaining team in the streets and at the beach.

This historic strike built an unbreakable solidarity across our city, among families, students, educators and community. This strike has made it clear what is possible when we join together and fight for the stability in our schools that many have said was out of our reach.

Your UESF bargaining team is thrilled to announce

Your UESF bargaining team is thrilled to announce that we have come to a tentative agreement with SFUSD that will have lasting impacts on our students, communities, and our city. Your endless sacrifice, solidarity, and steadfast belief in a better SFUSD, made the district finally prioritize our students and we all deserve.

What a beautiful day to fight for the stable schoo

What a beautiful day to fight for the stable schools our students and educators deserve. Any movement we’ve seen these last few days is because of all of you who showed up 15,000 strong today, San Francisco! The power of each and every one of you was felt throughout the entire city, from our morning pickets to rallying at Embarcadero Plaza, and then onward to Civic Center.

Thousands of educators showed up at today’s rally!

We marched from Embarcadero Plaza to Civic Center, fighting for our students, standing together. Yet the district still hasn’t come to an agreement!

We’ll stay on strike as long as it takes to win the schools our students and educators deserve!

One day longer, one day stronger!

The time is now for SFUSD to fully funded family healthcare, address special education workloads and provide fair compensation for certificated staff that will stabilize our schools and end this strike. SFUSD figure It out!

👀Where is the SFUSD School Board??
We were thrilled to see the board majority of the S.F. Supervisors and one school board member supporting our bargaining team last night at our rally! We need the rest of the school board to show up and make an agreement that stabilizes our schools. Click the link in our bio to send a letter now!

Educators, families, and community members are hit

Educators, families, and community members are hitting the picket lines across San Francisco today! We’re fighting together for fully funded health care, livable wages, fully staffed special education programs, and real safety and stability for our immigrant and housing insecure students and families. It is up to the Board of Education and Superintendent Su to figure this out. Join us on the line—see you at 12pm at Justin Herman Plaza!

Tonight, your big-bargaining team spent over 12 hours negotiating with SFUSD. A hundred of us waited for hours for the District’s promised counter until 1 in the morning, only to be told they had nothing to pass.

After a day of unwavering support from our communities this failure was frankly shocking, and absolutely unacceptable to us. We deserve to be back in our classrooms and schools. We miss our students. See you out on the line tomorrow!

The energy was incredible! The rain couldn’t stop us. It only made us stronger! This is what collective power looks like. This is what real solidarity means. We showed this District that we are United in our fight for the stable schools students and educators deserve!

Public schools across San Francisco were closed for a second straight day after some 6,000 educators walked off the job Monday for the first time in decades. The United Educators of San Francisco union is demanding fully funded family healthcare for workers, improvements to special education and salary increases that do not come at the cost of concessions or takeaways from schools.

Stand with San Francisco educators and students: Send a letter to the SFUSD Superintendent and Board of Education NOW.

We need District Management at the table with a real offer that stabilizes our classrooms and schools. The time to act is right now, help us end this strike and get our students back in school where they belong. Link in bio to send your letter.

SFUSD ranks 6 out of 8 neighboring districts for contributions to healthcare. Educators are now paying $1,500 a month for family healthcare. For our paraeducators, these high healthcare costs are 39.5% of their already too-low monthly paycheck--just to insure their families. High healthcare costs and a lack of affordable housing mean less food on the table, the ability to weather a broken-down car, or the ability to contribute to savings. Districts across California have figured out how to fully fund family healthcare. SFUSD can too.

Today is the day!
We’re creating a GIANT human banner that will be impossible to ignore. Thousands of San Francisco educators spelling out “STRIKE FOR OUR STUDENTS” with our bodies on the sand.

Wear red. Bring your energy. Bring your solidarity. Bring everyone you know. See you on the beach.
