Fremont teachers are on the brink of a strike due to dissatisfaction with benefits and large classroom sizes. The Fremont Unified District Teachers Association has authorized a potential strike starting April 7 if its demands are not met. The union is advocating for reduced class sizes and better healthcare contributions, while the district faces a projected budget deficit exceeding $30m. Superintendent Zack Larsen acknowledged the financial challenges but emphasized the district’s commitment to educators. The union’s contract expired in June 2024, and negotiations have been ongoing for over a year, with an impasse declared in November 2024.
