More than 11,000 Los Angeles city workers will participate in the one-day strike, including sanitation, airport and street services employees, organizers said.
Tuesday’s strike in Los Angeles comes after “bad faith bargaining” by city administrators, Green said, adding that the city has failed to address issues such as workers’ resources and major vacancies in crucial roles.
He said city officials sent administrators to the bargaining table who don’t have the authorization needed to approve decisions. “Sanitation alone has over 900 vacancies,” Green said. “Unfortunately, some of the people that work in City Hall are these out-of-touch administrators. … And we’ve been sounding the alarm for years. So we’re saying, come back to the table.”that the city is committed to ensuring a fair contract for its workers.
“City workers are vital to the function of services for millions of Angelenos every day and to our local economy. They deserve fair contracts and we have been bargaining in good faith with SEIU 721 since January,” Bass said. “The City will always be available to make progress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”
Los Angeles International Airport and the Port of Los Angeles did not return requests for comment regarding the possible disruptions to their operations that the strike could cause.
