Tomorrow, thousands of Los Angeles city workers plan to walk off the job for a 24-hour strike. Tuesday’s action would be the first major city worker strike in at least 15 years.

Port spokesperson Phillip Sanfield said he couldn’t comment on possible disruption at the port because he wasn’t sure how many people would be participating in the strike.
But the city “reneged on their promise to negotiate on these issues,” Valdez said. The union filed an unfair labor practice claim with the City of Los Angeles Employee Relations Board over this issue, along with claims filed over several other issues in recent months. “We’re not going to tolerate unfair labor practices during bargaining or at all. We’re fed up,” Valdez said, noting that the union’s members had worked throughout the pandemic to keep the city running. “We have to send a very strong message to the city.”
The union plans to return to the bargaining table with the city the week of August 14 to begin negotiations on the successor contract to the one-year agreement signed in November 2022. That new contract will be bargained in tandem with the “specials” that remain on the table from the beginning of the year, Valdez said.
