The strike authorization vote, prompted by stalled contract talks with LA County officials, began May 16 and will end Monday.
If approved, the physicians and interns would join “tens of thousands of other LA County employees who have exhausted their options as the County continues to engage in surface bargaining in the workers’ contract negotiations,” union officials said in a statement as voting began. “If they ultimately go on strike, the physicians would be the first in their union to do so 32 years, which demonstrates the seriousness of this contract and the workers’ frustration with the County’s bad-faith conduct.
“Negotiations are ongoing and the County remains hopeful of reaching a fair and fiscally responsible contract,” the statement said. “The pending authorization vote by the Committee of Interns and Residents is not a strike and services to the public are continuing without interruption.” “We’re doctors, and people see us with white coats, so they think we make what you would think a doctor makes,” Camila Alvarado, a second-year family resident at Harbor UCLA, said during a news conference earlier this month. “But in residency, if you divide by the number of hours we work, which is about 80 hours a week, we actually make about minimum wage, if not less than minimum wage.”
