San Francisco Court Clerks Stage One-Day Strike
News summary

Approximately 200 court clerks from the San Francisco Superior Court have gone on a one-day strike, citing labor law violations and management's refusal to address understaffing and inadequate training issues. The strike, organized by the Service Employees International Union Local 1021, has led to the postponement of trials, including the high-profile Nima Momeni case. The clerks are demanding wage increases, more staffing, and standardized training, as current shortages have resulted in delays and the dismissal of over 70 misdemeanor cases. This disruption highlights the clerks' vital role in court operations, managing paperwork, jury selection, and court calendars. The union claims that the management's failure to negotiate in good faith has exacerbated a backlog of cases, impacting defendants and victims alike. Despite the significant impact on court operations, the San Francisco Superior Court has not publicly responded to the allegations.
