According to this calendar for Oakland High finals week is last week of May, so beginning of May, there's still regular classes going on.
If that's the logic, then there's never a good time to strike is there?
"Oh no, won't someone think of the children?"
Or more generally "Oh no, won't someone think of the suppliers' workers who will be idled, and consumers of our workplace's product who will be inconvenienced?"
edit: Also, I don't know if you attended a Bay Area public high school, but student walkouts and teacher strikes are a regular feature.
I remember we had a couple of those when I was in public high school.
It's just a 1 day strike to send a message to the OUSD administration, not the kind of thing where they'll stay out until their demands are met.
