San Francisco teachers took the first of two legally mandated votes in early December to authorize a strike — and the vote was overwhelmingly "yes," with 99% voting in favor, out of 2,400 union ballots cast. The second vote is wrapping up today, as Mission Local reports, and a reported 4,700 votes have been cast this time. Cassondra Curiel, the president of the teachers' union, tells Mission Local, "We’re anticipating folks are voting 'yes,'" and she called the turnout "historic." And union vice president Frank Lara tells Mission Local, of the district, "We are living in different realities." "They’re sitting on hundreds of millions of reserves,” Curiel tells Mission Local.
