GARDENA, Calif. (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - Los Angeles area schools are closed again Wednesday as workers continue their three-day strike. Striking workers gathered at the bus yard in Gardena Wednesday to form a picket line. The striking workers, members of SEIU Local 99, are calling for a 30% wage increase and better staffing. Meanwhile, school district officials say they have offered a what they have called a strong compromise offer of a 23% increase and a 3% cash bonus. The workers, who are being supported by the local teacher's union, are not happy with that offer and began a three-day strike yesterday.
