Thousands of city workers picket across LA for one-day strike, creating some service disruptions
From downtown to Los Angeles International Airport, thousands of city workers went on strike Tuesday for a scheduled 24-hour work stoppage prompted by what their union believes is a lack of good-faith labor negotiations, but municipal leaders said the city is continuing to operate -- albeit with some disruptions.
"My office is implementing a plan ensuring no public safety or housing and homelessness emergency operations are impacted by this action," Bass said in a statement Monday. Krekorian said city-operated preschools and daycare centers will be open as usual Tuesday, but trash pickup will be delayed by one day, while some municipal pools may be closed. He urged residents to call in advance.
"Despite repeated attempts by city workers to engage management in a fair bargaining process, the city has flat-out refused to honor previous agreements at the bargaining table, prompting workers to file charges alleging unfair labor practices with the city of Los Angeles Employee Relations Board," SEIU 721 officials said in a statement last week.
"It feels like it's 'Strike Summer' because it is," SEIU 721 officials tweeted in late July. "But make no mistake -- our fight for respect does not end with the summer. It ends with contracts that adequately protect and pay us."According to the union, the city of Los Angeles strike "comes at a watershed moment for the city, with officials preparing for the World Cup and Olympic Games in the coming years.
