L.A. City Workers to ‘Shut Down’ City on Tuesday, Joining Hollywood, Hotel Strikes
Breitbart ^ | 08/07/2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 08/07/2023 6:00:25 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Thousands of municipal workers in Los Angeles plan to down tools on Tuesday, joining a summer of labor actions that has involved Hollywood writers, Hollywood actors, and hotel employees across the city.

The Los Angeles Times reported:

SEIU Local 721, a union representing county and city employees across Southern California, said that more than 11,000 Los Angeles city workers will participate, including sanitation workers, heavy duty mechanics, traffic officers and engineers.

The city work stoppage comes amid a frenzy of organized labor activity in Los Angeles and across the country, including the first simultaneous strike of Hollywood writers and actors since 1960. Los Angeles and Orange County hotel workers have also engaged in intermittent work stoppages since contracts expired for more than 15,000 hotel workers at some 60 properties.

The strike will likely create some degree of disruption at Los Angeles International Airport, the Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles City Hall and other locations, with picketing expected at dozens of other sites, including the Griffith Observatory, according to the union.

I think the LA times should strike in support of the city workers and hollywood actors/writers. After all their journalists are aspiring fiction writers.

Covid redux. Shut 'er down! Cancel culture redux. Shut 'er down! Climate change redux. Shut 'er down! MAGA rising. Shut 'er down!

It's all about solid-air-ity. Yes, I spelled that correctly. Solid-air-ity.

Watch old tv shows and movies. Plenty of very good ones. Read xlnt books. Exercise. Start a vegetable/fruit garden. As far as city workers and teachers...we don’t need to pay them their huge salaries and benefits. I hope they go on strike forever. Then we’ll find out how inexpensive it is to get their “work” done.

Hope the whole dystopian city of LA is brought to a standstill and may they all rot in the cesspool they have created. May it sink into the Pacific Ocean to become the lost city of LA forever.

Fire them all. Employees should not under any circumstance receive protection under the mantle of the law for damaging the business of their employer. Labor strikes are straight-up extortion, made legal only because of the 1935 National Labor Relations Act.

Repeal the NLRA.
