Staff Up San Jose Solidarity Toolkit
Thousands of city workers in San Jose are gearing up for a historic 3-day strike from August 15-17. San Jose city employees work day in and out to support our public services and are fighting for better staffing to meet the needs of residents: from libraries to affordable housing, to public transit, to San Jose International Mineta Airport, to Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, to emergency response, and more.
