US EditionThousands of California scientists strike over stalled contract talks
- Thousands of scientists from the California Association of Professional Scientists went on a three-day strike to protest lack of progress in contract talks. This is the first strike by a state civil service union.
- The union represents about 5,200 members who work in various state departments and deal with issues like air pollution and earthquake hazards. Their contract has been expired since 2020, and a tentative agreement was rejected.
- The strike was filed against unfair labor practices, and the state continues to negotiate in good faith. The main concern of the union is higher wages, as state scientists are paid significantly less compared to similar positions.
