奥克兰862学生确诊，100+员工确诊！教师计划罢工！
（NBC）Oakland Teachers May Strike Over COVID Safety Concerns
奥克兰教师可能因新冠病毒安全问题而罢工
A teachers union in Oakland is threatening to go on strike over COVID safety concerns at schools.
奥克兰的一个教师工会威胁要举行罢工，以应对学校感染新冠病毒的安全问题。
The announcement Thursday comes after Oakland Unified School District students planned related boycotts and teachers staged several "sickout" this month.
本周四，奥克兰联合学区的学生计划进行相关的抵制活动，教师也在这个月举行了几次“请病假”。
The district last week reported 862 students testing positive for COVID, with more than 100 staff members contracting the virus as well. The president of the teachers union said the shortage of teachers is creating a crisis in the classroom and he is willing to act if nothing changes.
该学区上周报告称，862名学生检测出新冠病毒阳性，100多名工作人员也感染了病毒。教师工会的总统表示，教师短缺正在课堂上造成危机，如果没有任何改变，他愿意采取行动。
"I'm authorized to call a strike in the next 48 hours if we do not get that agreement," Oakland Education Association President Keith Brown said, referring to a demand for the district to commit to an updated COVID safety plan.
奥克兰教育协会主席基思·布朗说:“如果我们不能达成协议，我有权在未来48小时内发起罢工。”他指的是要求学区承诺制定最新的新冠肺炎安全计划。
Brown said there is still room for improvement even after the district ordered KN95 masks for every student and continues to host testing sites on campuses.
布朗说，尽管学区为每个学生订购了KN95口罩，并继续在校园设立考场，但仍有改进的空间。
"The hours of the testing hubs do not serve working families," Brown said. "I'm hearing things about families being in line for almost an hour and at 4 p.m. being told they have to go home."
布朗说:“检测中心的工作时间不适合工薪家庭。”“我听说有些家庭排了将近一个小时的队，到下午4点才被告知必须回家。”
Brown said union members will meet with district officials late Thursday to discuss another COVID safety plan.
布朗说，工会成员将于周四晚些时候与地区官员会面，讨论另一项针对新冠病毒的安全计划。
A district spokesperson said this would be the ninth binding agreement with the teachers union throughout the course of the pandemic.
一位地区发言人说，这将是在疫情期间与教师工会达成的第九项有约束力的协议。
Meanwhile, an overwhelming number of students across Oakland continue to call out sick. The district said nearly 25% of students were absent on Tuesday. The previous Tuesday on Jan. 11 saw more than 27% of students across the district miss classes.
与此同时，奥克兰各地仍有大量学生请病假。该学区表示，周二有近25%的学生缺席。在1月11日的前一个星期二，整个学区有超过27%的学生缺课。
"Whether there are sickouts or strikes, its incredibly disruptive for parents, especially parents who don't have a luxury to work from home and use school as childcare," said Megan Bacigalupi, an Oakland mother.
“无论是请病假还是罢工，这对父母来说都是难以置信的干扰，尤其是那些没有条件在家工作，把上学当作托儿服务的父母，”奥克兰的一位母亲梅根·巴加卢皮(Megan Bacigalupi)说。
