TA Calls for Compounded Raises of 12.15% over 2 Years, Major Improvements in Workload and Flex Time
Join us on Zoom tomorrow, Monday, April 13 for an overview of our Certificated and Unit J Bargaining Teams’ UNANIMOUS Tentative Agreement with LAUSD which includes 12.15% in compounded wage increases by January 2027! The raises will be paid at 2% retroactive to July 1, 2025; 2% retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026; 4% effective July 1, 2026 and 3.65% effective Jan. 1, 2027. The retroactive raises back to July of 2025 will be significant for all members!
This amazing victory was only possible due to our solidarity together and with our fellow Union members of UTLA and SEIU Local 99!
AALA/Teamsters Tentative Agreement Town Hall
Monday, April 13
5:00 to 6:00 PM on Zoom
Agenda will cover the tentative agreement and next steps, including a ratification vote by the membership.
Let’s also not forget the incredible victory our Bargaining Teams achieved last week to address the excessive workload and hours we have endured due to District’s reductions in force and added initiatives.
Tentative Agreement — Article X – Duties, Responsibilities, and Hours
- A defined 8-hour workday
- A reasonable 40-hour workweek
- Flex Time with notice and no pre-approval
- Built-in flexible time for comprehensive high school administrators
- Agreement to bargain the effects of any future changes to Supplemental Pay policy
This is more than contract language. This is a restoration of professional dignity, trust, and respect for how administrators manage the complex demands of our roles.
“This moment did not happen by accident. It happened because 90% of you voted YES to authorize a strike. It happened because you trusted our union. It happened because you stood firm, you stood together, and you refused to be overlooked. Your courage at that vote changed the tone at the bargaining table. Your unity shifted the balance of power. Your perseverance made this moment possible.”

Other wins in the Tentative Agreement include:
CERTIFICATED UNIT
- $5,000 yearly stipend, no salary decrease and clear salary maintenance guidelines for Principals assigned to Priority schools,
- $5,000 yearly stipend starting Jan. 2026 for principals assigned to a Single-Administrator School of 275 or more students.
- Up to 40 hours per year of supplemental pay for professional development outside of school hours.
UNIT J
- Longevity bonuses of $100 per pay period after 25 years, $115 per pay period after 30 years, and $130 per pay period after 35 years.
- When a District site is closed to employees and students because of emergency circumstances, and the District offers an additional flat-rate stipend for in-person work at closed worksite to Bargaining Unit workers supervised by Unit J administrators, the administrators will receive an additional stipend equal to that being paid to workers.
“This Tentative Agreement is an unprecedented achievement for LAUSD school administrators, with significant well-deserved raises and new language that will greatly improve the quality of members’ work lives. Standing together as Teamsters, and in coalition with our sister Unions, we showed the District power like they have never seen before, which is what made this victory possible. Thanks to our hard-working bargaining teams and to our AALA/Teamsters members for your courage and determination to achieve this historic Agreement!”
