‘Even worse’: Clerks at SF Superior Court vote to strike 1 year after similar work stoppage

Doubling up on court cases and continued understaffing are just some of the complaints that led San Francisco Superior Court employees represented by the Service Employees International Union 1021 to authorize a strike on Thursday, according to the union. 

Clerks and others walked off the job in protest of what they say is the courts’ representatives’ refusal to negotiate in good faith over what employees say are chronic understaffing issues that are putting clerks in situations they are not adequately trained for and leading to threats to constitutional rights.
