Thousands of LA city workers set to strike Tuesday
Mayor Karen Bass said Saturday that Los Angeles officials are "available to make progress" around the clock this weekend on new contracts with workers, one day after the union representing city employees announced that members will head to the picket lines Tuesday morning for a 24-hour strike to protest what they deemed a refusal to bargain in good faith.
Sanitation workers, heavy duty mechanics, traffic officers, engineers and many more city workers, who are represented by SEIU 721, plan to walk off the job to protest city management and other "unfair labor practices restricting employee and union rights," according to a statement from the union on Friday.At 11 a.m. Tuesday, workers will meet at City Hall for a march and rally, though picket lines will begin as early as 4 a.m., according to the union.
" comes at a watershed moment for the city, with officials preparing for the World Cup and Olympic Games in the coming years," SEIU 721 said in a statement. "Both events promise to have long-lasting impacts on the entire Southern California region, with a massive influx of tourists and athletes putting an enormous strain on the city's frontline services, all on the world stage.
