From LAX employees to city sanitation crews, thousands of L.A. city workers will walk off the job in a labor strike intended to 'shut down' the city. From your trash collection to your travel plans, the fallout from the walkout - Tonight at 11 from ABC7
The workers plan to picket for 24 hours Tuesday outside City Hall, Los Angeles International Airport and other locations to protest "a refusal to bargain in good faith" -- which would mark the first such strike action in more than 40 years.
"Despite repeated attempts by city workers to engage management in a fair bargaining process, the City has flat-out refused to honor previous agreements at the bargaining table, prompting workers to file charges alleging unfair labor practices with the city of Los Angeles Employee Relations Board," SEIU 721 officials said in a statement last week.
The planned labor action comes amid ongoing strikes by Hollywood writers and actors as well as thousands of cooks, maids, dishwashers, servers, bellmen and front-desk agents at 46 Los Angeles area hotels represented by Unite HERE Local 11. David Green, president and executive director of SEIU 721, told City News Service last week that 30-plus strike lines are expected Tuesday all across the city.
