Mayor Bass Issues Statement Regarding One-Day SEIU 721 Strike

En Español 

LOS ANGELES — Mayor Karen Bass today issued the following statement: 

“As Mayor, my job is to ensure the people of Los Angeles are served and safe, that the city finances are protected and that city workers — the backbone of our economy — are respected and treated fairly. 

“City services were impacted but continued today. Public safety and homeless housing emergency services continue. City-operated summer camps and daycares are open. Services at LAX continue with limited impact to travelers. A number of public pools are open throughout the city. The Los Angeles City Zoo is open and so are our libraries. All of our animal shelters are open to the public and our 311 Call Center is taking calls. Trash pick up will resume tomorrow. Our Department of Transportation is executing contingency plans for shows tonight at the Greek Theater and the Hollywood Bowl, as well as for the match at BMO Stadium. Attendees may be impacted by traffic, so Angelenos should allow extra time heading to these events.

“The City will always be available to make progress with SEIU 721 and we will continue bargaining in good faith."
