A Strike Captain’s View of the LA Teacher’s Strike

I served as a strike captain for United Teachers of Los Angeles during the 2019 Los Angeles teachers strike and I’ve written a series of pieces for Counterpunch.org about the strike. Some of it is an in-the-trenches view of events, some of it a larger view. The pieces are below, in chronological order.
