About 7,000 nurses and other healthcare workers were on the brink of a three-day strike before negotiators agreed to a 15% raise over three years.
About 55,000 Los Angeles County employees have reached a tentative contract agreement that includes a double-digit raise over three years, averting a threatened strike.
Union members must still vote to approve the contract, and the L.A. County Board of Supervisors must also sign off. Katarina Del Valle Thompson, an organizer for registered nurses, said outsourcing was a major sticking point, particularly the county’s hiring of traveling nurses. “The county didn’t appreciate us or take us seriously after everything we did during the pandemic,” said Markeitha Harris, a public health nurse. “It wasn’t right, and we were ready to strike.”
She has delayed vacations and worked all but two days of a recent vacation that was supposed to last two weeks, she said.
