LA's paltry US school worker pay of US25K per annum driving factor for strike - Levin - 23-03-2023 By JOCELYN GECKER and COLLIN BINKLEY yesterday SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bus drivers shuttle America’s children to schools where cafeteria workers feed them and teacher aides assist students who need the most help. And their pay is notoriously low. School support staffers earn, on average, about $25,000 a year in Los Angeles, barely enough to get by in one of the most expensive cities in America. The pay is a driving factor behind a three-day strike that has shut down the entire Los Angeles school system and put a spotlight on the paltry pay of support staff that serves as the backbone of schools nationwide. Even outside pricey California, the school gigs often don’t pay enough to live on. Arthur Anderson, a school worker in Virginia, says it’s a shame it took a walkout to draw attention to the longstanding problem, but he hopes it helps. https://apnews.com/article/la-school-strike-worker-pay-62d5d8d6b68775a16a384205c891119f RE: LA's paltry US school worker pay of US25K per annum driving factor for strike - limpeh394 - 23-03-2023 USD$25000 is SGD$33000 or SGD$2750 mthly wonder if our school tuckshop worker even got $2000 ?
