Thousands of LA County Workers to Walk Out Over Unfair Labor Practices and Wage Disputes

By News | The South Pasadenan -April 25, 2025

Tens of thousands of Los Angeles County employees represented by SEIU Local 721 are set to go on strike starting Monday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m. through Wednesday, April 30 at 6:59 p.m., potentially disrupting services across the region. The strike follows the union’s filing of a 10-day notice in protest of what it calls unfair labor practices, wage stagnation, and excessive outsourcing.

Who Will Be Affected

The union represents over 55,000 frontline workers, including health care professionals, social workers, clerical staff, public works employees, and more. LA County departments, including the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA), are preparing for short-term delays and disruptions in service during the strike period.

“We are putting measures in place to ensure continued public access to our services,” DCBA stated. “However, we ask for your patience as there may be service delays during the strike.”

For ongoing updates, residents are encouraged to visit dcba.lacounty.gov or follow @lacountydcba on social media.
