Tentative Deal Ends San Francisco Court Clerks' Strike With Services Set to Resume Monday

Union leaders say the agreement now goes to roughly 220 clerks for a ratification vote.

Overview

  • The agreement was reached Friday after a two-day walkout, and the union says clerks plan to return to work Monday.
  • Talks had been at an impasse since December and resumed Thursday after the strike began.
  • Union representatives say the court agreed to cost-of-living adjustments and additional paid time off, with commitments to address staffing and training.
  • The walkout disrupted operations at the Hall of Justice on Thursday and Friday, with some courtrooms closed and services delayed.
  • Court officials maintain they bargained fairly and had offered higher health-benefit contributions, as rising caseloads continue to strain the system.
