Pay Strike Effects in San Jose Drag On
San Jose municipal workers marching for equal pay entered a third day of striking with unclear disruption levels. AFSCME Local 1 spokesman William Callahan called the strike very effective, disputing City Manager Francis Fox’s claim that only 350 workers were out. The Coalition of Labor Union Women backed the action as a step toward correcting wage inequities, while Fox said the city added 1.5 million to fund pay differences over two years and unions seek 3.2 million over four years. The strike closed one branch library and halted park services with no negotiations set.

The options include introducing cost balancing, removing the margin of safety for vulnerable groups, or keeping the health-based approach. Byron Nelson confirmed the memo’s authenticity but said it does not reflect a final administration position.
