The union representing some 95,000 state workers has called off plans for a one-day strike, saying that it has “found a pathway forward” in contract negotiations with the administration of Gov. Jerry Brown.
The announcement on Friday afternoon by SEIU Local 1000 averted what was shaping up to be a test of wills between state officials — warning that its members are subject to a no-strike clause — and the politically powerful union.
A spokesman for the union declined to offer any additional details beyond a brief statement from Yvonne Walker, the union’s president.
“After weeks of preparing for a strike, we have been in conversations with the state, and we both feel we have found a pathway forward,” she said. “Our goal has never been to go on strike. It has always been to get a contract we can all be proud of.”
