Union: 19,000 Educators Getting Pink Slips In California

The AP (3/16) reports, "Union officials estimate at least 19,000 California school employees are getting pink slips. And California Teachers Association President David Sanchez says he expects the number to top 20,000 when the union gets a better count by the end of the week." The layoffs "come as Gov. Jerry Brown and state lawmakers negotiate over how to close the state's nearly $27 billion budget shortfall."
