L.A. Teachers start hunger strike to protest layoffs

The L.A. Times reports:
A group of teachers and community activists started a hunger strike Wednesday in protest of the Los Angeles Unified School District's plan to lay off thousands of teachers.

At least nine teachers and two activists are participating in the action, said Sean Leys, a Lincoln High School teacher.
If you work in the private sector, would a hunger strike allow you to keep your job?
