President David Green told members at a rally Tuesday outside the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration in downtown Los Angeles that members had authorized a possible strike by a 99% vote. 'This is the worst disrespect I’ve seen in my 24 years as an L.A. County employee,' Green said. The move doesn't guarantee a strike, but union officials said that if their concerns aren't addressed, workers intend to walk off their jobs on Oct. 10.
leaders said workers were upset about the county failing to follow the agreement reached with the union in 2022, a deal that expires in March 2025. Green said there had been major discrepancies in how the county was handling 'things that we fought for at the table,' such as the rights of union stewards.
said it had lodged more than 20 'unfair labor practice' charges over faulty language in the agreements and other alleged violations such as using contractors to perform the jobs of union members, including psychiatric workers and janitorial services, without negotiating with the labor union. Green said in an interview that 'when you have this rampant outsourcing and contracting out of jobs, it goes against the principles that we believe in.
