[1/6] Los Angeles city workers hold a rally outside the city hall during a one-day walkout strike in protest over labor negotiations, in Los Angeles, California, U.S., August 8, 2023.
Hundreds of city workers, including mechanics, lifeguards and traffic officers marched in picket lines at city hall and the Los Angeles International Airport, saying city management has engaged in unfair labor practices during negotiations over recruitment, retention and hiring issues.
Some city services will be unavailable during the one-day strike, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement.
Passengers departing from Los Angeles Airport should arrive an hour earlier than usual in case of delays, Bass said.
In July, thousands of hotel workers in Los Angeles staged a three-day strike over wages, benefits and working conditions.
