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.

Newsome shut it down for 2 years. Now the City is getting back at him.
Covid/strike. What’s the difference?
How would someone know the difference?
Government unions........Even FDR didn’t allow them.................
Two things u can say about SEIU.
They are very violent and very stupid
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.
Biden’s unions, feeling their oats
and no one will notice
Prayers up for all LA FReepers.
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.
Will anyone notice?
Visitors who see Los Angeles at night think the streets are lined with Christmas lights it not true it’s crack pipes and joints.
Imagine if all those Union strikers jobs were given to the illegals and homeless.
That would be poetic leftard justice.
I think that a delicious idea! Bravo!
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.
Thank you Metmom... our city is a mess!
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.
