SAN JOSE CITY WORKERS PLAN 3-DAY STRIKE NEXT WEEK

Nearly 4,500 San Jose city employees will go on a three-day strike next week, citing chronic understaffing and low pay, the unions representing the workers announced Monday. The unions and the city have been negotiating for months and the workers have been working without a contract since it expired in late June. The union says that many departments are understaffed, and the city had around 1,000 open positions at one point this year. Workers from the city have said that many people who work for San Jose end up leaving for another job at a city with higher pay.
