Sacramento City Unified boosts raise offer; strike enters eighth day

Sacramento City Unified teachers and staff are entering their eighth day on strike. The Sacramento Bee reports that the school district increased its offer to the teachers union Wednesday, proposing a 3% wage increase and a combination of one-time bonuses.

The unions called the offer insufficient. Teachers and staff are calling for a higher wage increase and no cuts to health care benefits.

Some parents have been camping out at district headquarters, calling for the school board to meet with teachers and reach an agreement.
