Los Angeles Teachers Delay Strike Plans Until Monday
----------------------------------------------------

In Los Angeles, the union representing tens of thousands of public
school teachers has delayed plans to begin a strike today, even as
teachers remain far from a breakthrough in contract talks. The union now
says it's prepared to strike on Monday unless its demands are met. Union
negotiators want an immediate 6.5 percent raise, along with smaller
class sizes, more librarians, fewer standardized tests and more teacher
input in local school leadership councils.
