It's not just actors: Over 11,000 city workers will strike in LA on Tuesday

Over 11,000 Los Angeles city workers are planning to strike on Tuesday, according to the union that represents many of the city's public-sector staff.

City employees represented by SEIU Local 721, including those working in the sanitation department, at the city's port and at Los Angeles International Airport, will strike for 24 hours, with picket lines forming in front of City Hall and LAX, a union representative confirmed to CNN on Monday.

The planned work stoppage adds to the recent rush of union activity in Los Angeles and across the country this summer.

SEIU 721, which represents more than 95,000 workers in Southern California, said members voted to authorize the strike after "repeated labor law violations" by Los Angeles city management. Trash truck operators, LAX shuttle drivers and mechanics, and port boat captains are among the workers planning to strike.

"Despite repeated attempts by city workers to engage management in a fair bargaining process, the city has flat-out refused to honor previous agreements at the bargaining table, prompting workers to file Unfair Labor Practice charges with the City of Los Angeles Employee Relations Board," the union said in a statement.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement that the Ccity has been bargaining with the union in good faith.

"City workers are vital to the function of services for millions of Angelenos every day and to our local economy. 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," she said.
