It has been 30 years since the teachers of Los Angeles went on strike, and the issues now are similar to the issues then–failed negotiations over school funding, pay raises, and classroom sizes.

In the build up to the strike in 1989, I was doing cartoons for the union newspaper, the United Teacher. Obviously many dealt with the school committee. One day I receive a phone call (texting and email were not a thing then) asking me to come to the office of the union president, Wayne Johnson.
