More Than 50,000 Los Angeles County Workers Take To Picket Lines For 2-Day Strike

More than 50,000 Los Angeles County workers demanding higher pay walked picket lines again Tuesday, and the strike could mean closures or disruptions at libraries, healthcare clinics and administrative offices across the nation's most populous county. The two-day walkout that began Monday evening followed failed negotiations with the county for a new contract after the last one expired in March, according to the Service Employees International Union Local 721. The union represents employees including public health professionals, social workers, parks and recreation staff, custodians, clerical workers and others serving a county of 10 million residents. It's the first time all of its about 55,000 members are on strike, the union said. Marchers wore purple and hoisted signs reading “We are the safety net!” A huge crowd marched through downtown LA streets while others gathered at dozens of sites countywide, including Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and offices of the Department of Children and Family Services. “This is the workforce that got LA County through emergency after emergency: the January wildfires, public health emergencies, mental health emergencies, social service emergencies and more," union leader David Green said in a statement. "That’s why we have had it with the labor law violations and demand respect for our workers.” The labor action is set to last until 7 p.m. Wednesday. Until then members of the public could experience closures or delays at libraries, some healthcare clinics, beach bathrooms and public service counters at the Hall of Administration. Services in the medical examiner's office and public works department may also be affected, according to the county. But hospitals and most county offices will remain open. The union has accused the county of 44 labor law violations during contract negotiations, including surveillance and retaliation against workers engaging in union activity and contracting out work that's supposed to be done by union members. LA County says it's facing “unprecedented stresses” on its budget, including a tentative $4 billion settlement of thousands of childhood sexual assault claims, a projected $2 billion in impacts related to the LA wildfires in January, and the potential loss of hundreds of millions in federal funding. “We do not want to negotiate ourselves into a structural deficit — which could lead to layoffs and service reductions,” spokesperson Elizabeth Marcellino said in a statement from the chief executive office. “We are trying to strike a balance: fair compensation for our workforce while sustaining services and avoiding layoffs in the midst of some of the worst financial challenges we have ever experienced.” The city of LA is facing similar financial woes — Mayor Karen Bass's recently proposed budget includes 1,600 layoffs of city workers amid a nearly $1 billion deficit. About 150 county workers picketed outside Los Angeles General Medical Center on Monday. Lillian Cabral, who has worked at the hospital since 1978, said the strike was a “historic moment” that involved staff from the emergency room and radiology departments to custodians. Cabral is part of the bargaining committee and said she was frustrated by a process that has been filled with long delays and little movement from the county. “It's so unfair to us, it's so unfair to our patients, and to our clients and our community,” Cabral said. The strike caused short staffing that led to long lines at the county's Department of Public Social Services. Staff members on hand said they could print out some paperwork and process documents but couldn’t give out case updates or handle other issues usually dealt with by social workers participating in the strike. Michael Euring, 54, said he couldn’t pick up his mail or a new public assistance card. He didn’t know why the strike was happening but was frustrated by the disruption in services. “I have a 7-month-old son, and I’m a single father,” Euring said. “The mail that I need is here. I can’t get an EBT card, can’t access my benefits to feed my child.” Lauren Punch, a supervising clerk at the office who joined the walkout, called the situation “100% preventable.” She wants a salary increase as well fewer people to supervise. “It’s disrespectful to the community that we’re charged to take care of,” Punch said. “It’s a shame that there are people out here with disabilities that we’re not able to service fully.”

Trump Administration Announces Deal To Ease Tariffs On Automakers

The White House says President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Tuesday to relax some of his 25% tariffs on autos and auto parts. It's a significant reversal as the import taxes threatened to hurt domestic manufacturers. Automakers and independent analyses have indicated that the tariffs could raise prices, reduce sales and make U.S. production less competitive worldwide. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the goal is to help automakers create more domestic manufacturing jobs. A senior Commerce Department official says the administration will offer automakers that finish their vehicles domestically a 15% rebate this year, offsetting the cost of the tariffs. That rebate would be 10% the second year, giving automakers some time to relocate production of parts to the U.S.

Mark Carney's Liberal Party Wins Federal Election In Canada

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won Canada’s federal election, capping a stunning turnaround in fortunes fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to Canada’s economy and sovereignty. The Liberals are projected to win more of Parliament’s 343 seats than the Conservatives in Monday’s contest. It isn’t clear yet if they will win an outright majority, at least 172, or will need to rely on one or more smaller parties to pass legislation. Trump’s threats of tariffs and suggestions that Canada should become the 51st state upended the race, as polls showed Pierre Poilievre and his Conservative Party with comfortable leads only months ago.
