3000 Oakland SEIU1021 & IFPTE 21 Workers Strike For A Contract
Three thousand Oakland SEIU 1021 and IFPTE Local 21 workers struck on December 5, 2017 after years of concessions and givebacks. They are being forced to move out of the city and face difficult working conditions. Also there is a massive gentrification in Oakland supported by Mayor "Libby" Schaaf. All workers are being forced out of Oakland along with large numbers of working class African American and Latinos and into commuting 4 hours a day to their jobs. The mayor also threatened the workers telling them that is was illegal for them to strike. IBEW members and other unionists refused to cross the picket lines and 90% of the workers joined the strike.
