California State Workers Launching 1-Day Strike over Return-to-Office Mandate, Pay and Healthcare – WTOP News
Tens of thousands of workers are set to walk out over bargaining disputes, and the labor board has already sided with the union.
- Tens of thousands of SEIU Local 1000 workers plan a one-day strike on Wednesday, protesting what they argue are bad-faith bargaining practices by Governor Gavin Newsom's administration over wages and benefits.
- The union has been negotiating since its contract expired June 30, citing a $20 billion increase in general fund spending over two years to justify demands for better pay and healthcare coverage.
- Nearly 95,000 workers are eligible to participate, with demonstrations planned in more than a dozen cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento, where members will march to lawmakers' offices near the Capitol.
- Public services including DMV and unemployment offices may face limited operations Wednesday. Union president Anica Walls urged Californians "to give our employees some grace" if services are delayed.
- Both parties are scheduled for mediation October 30, though Walls warned the union will "escalate" its actions if the administration continues to engage in bad-faith bargaining.
