AFSCME 3299 cancels its planned May 14 UC strike after reaching a tentative agreement
AFSCME Local 3299 announced that the systemwide strike planned for May 14 would not occur after the parties reached a tentative agreement on May 13. The union said the planned action covered more than 42,000 service and patient-care technical workers, who were expected to remain at work while members considered ratification.
This resolution supersedes the earlier proposed-strike contingency; the primary notice reports no FQHC patient diversion, hiring, or demand effect.
Part of
- Healthcare labor and organizing
Contracts, strikes and unfair-labor-practice charges
Key points
- The planned strike was cancelled before its May 14 start; do not present the proposed disruption as an event that occurred.
- The cancellation notice establishes no FQHC patient-spillover outcome; keep any capacity scenario explicitly conditional and aggregate.
