LAUSD to rehire staff

An agreement with Los Angeles Unified to bring back 325 laid-off office clerks and library aides was ratified by the union representing support staff, officials said Tuesday.Susan Abram in the Daily News.

The California School Employees Association overwhelmingly ratified the deal that restores the jobs but requires workers to take four unpaid furlough days between January and June, officials said. The school board approved the contract last week.

That means 79 full-time financial managers and 60 full-time office technicians will be recalled, along with 98 part-time library aides and 63 part-time office technicians. In addition, 25 employees will be rehired as financial managers, according to the district. However, the CSEA disputes some of the figures, saying there are more librarians being added, not financial managers.
