Striking firemen warned of actions amid wage dispute
Sheriff John Carpenter secured 12 hour deputy shifts and dispatched nine deputies to teach firefighting techniques after strikers immobilized engines. Teamsters refused to cross lines, while supervisors hauled trucks through the picket, as 800 equity workers demand 12 percent raises and a shorter 64 hour week. Gov Brown mediations made little progress and state firefighters may be deployed to protect residents. In Santa Barbara, Petris cites a 66 hour week debate tied to blocked funding, while Stanford reports heart transplants in Las Vegas and Santa Barbara patients improving post op.
