ORANGE, Calif.—The union representing maintenance workers for the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) announced Nov. 2 that it will go on strike and set up picket lines at 4 p.m. at the Santa Ana and Garden Grove yards of the agency.
A strike planned for Oct. 17 was called off when Gov. Gavin Newsom asked both sides to continue negotiations, but the talks fizzled when Teamsters Local 952 claimed OCTA negotiators walked away from the bargaining table on Monday.
