SoCal strike in effect: More than 11,000 City of L.A. workers walk off the job this morning in a one-day strike. The walkout fallout now on ABC7
More than 11,000 Los Angeles city workers staged a one-day walkout Tuesday to protest what their union calls bad-faith contract talks, meaning residents will face an array of service disruptions, from trash-pickup delays to swimming-pool closures, though Mayor Karen Bass stressed "the city of Los Angeles is not going to shut down."
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. The workers plan to picket at various locations, including City Hall and LAX, to protest what their union calls "a refusal to bargain in good faith." The walkout would mark the first such strike action in more than 40 years.
Bass issued a statement Saturday saying Los Angeles officials are available around the clock "to make progress" on contract negotiations. It also comes at a time when the city is experiencing a more than 20% job vacancy rate across departments.
