SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Roughly 200 San Francisco Superior Court clerks across three locations are striking Thursday after the workers have not had a contract in over a month. The union argues that court management is violating labor laws and is demanding a better contract. Service Employees International Union Local 1021 said this strike is happening because court management isn’t willing to negotiate staffing or training issues. These issues have led to over 70 misdemeanor cases being dismissed, along with unnecessary delays and errors, according to the union. The Superior Court said that it cannot "overcommit its budget" and has offered a $6,500 one-time payment to get the clerks and the Court through the year. It also offered an increase in health benefits next year to $1,565.

Cases without statutory deadlines will be recessed, according to the statement. More information on Thursday's court operations can be found on the Superior Court website. It could also disrupt high-profile cases like the Nima Momeni trial regarding the stabbing and killing of Cash App founder Bob Lee. The union said the lack of training is leading to defendants sitting in county jail longer than they should, along with victims waiting longer for their court dates. The strike begins at 6 a.m. and will last until 5 p.m. Khazar Momeni ‘can go f**k herself,’ Bob Lee’s ex-wife says Court Executive Officer Brandon E. Riley released a statement Thursday that read: "It is unfortunate that SEIU has decided to disrupt court services after our many hours of negotiations, and a mediation session, to reach a fair contract that reflects the economic impacts from the state’s reduction in funding for the Judicial Branch in FY 24-25, which has resulted in a $2.5 million ongoing cut to the Court’s budget. The Court did not receive a cost-of-living adjustment in addition to a $2.5 million ongoing cut and is likely to receive an additional budget cut next fiscal year.”
