Workers, managers, and elected officials braced for one of the biggest labor actions to hit Los Angeles city government in a generation -- a one-day walkout by the union that represents traffic officers, gardeners, mechanics, custodians, and scores of other jobs, the L.A. Times website reports today (August 8, 2023).
Service Employees International Union Local 721, which represents over 7,000 city workers, began its strike at 12:01 a,m. today to protest unfair labor practices by city negotiators and a failure of management to remain at the bargaining table.
David Green, the union's president, said SIEU members have reached their limit with the number of vacant positions that plague city agencies.
