California teachers fight for new contracts

Dozens of teachers unions around California, including educators in the Bay Area's three largest cities, are uniting in their push for new contracts.

Teachers from 32 major districts around the state have come together around a shared vision of what all schools need to be successful. They launched the "We Can’t Wait" campaign on Tuesday. As part of the effort, teachers rode a trolley to four different sites to spread the word in San Francisco.

In the South Bay, teachers are bargaining with the San Jose Unified School District, hoping to ensure a new contract is in place when the current one expires in June.
