The employees, including sanitation workers, heavy-duty mechanics, traffic officers and engineers represented by SEIU Local 721, voted overwhelmingly in May to authorize an Unfair Labor Practice strike if negotiations stalled.
city workers are preparing Monday to initiate a one-day walkout throughout the city to protest contract negotiations between union officials and city leaders.
Union officials said the workers will meet at 11 a.m. Tuesday at City Hall for a march and rally, though picket lines will begin as early as 4 a.m. at sites throughout the city. "City workers are vital to the function of services for millions of Angelenos every day and to our local economy," Bass said in a statement. "They deserve fair contracts and we have been bargaining in good faith with SEIU 721 since January. The City will always be available to make progress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
It also comes at a time when the city is experiencing a more than 20% job vacancy rate across departments. He said residents might experience a lack of service Tuesday, whether it's the "folks that pick up their trash, that protect the harbor, work in parks or that secure LAX."
