OAKLAND, Calif. – City workers in Oakland on Monday will hold a protest against proposed budget cuts, especially to police, fire and public safety departments. A coalition of unions-including IAFF Local 55, IFPTE Local 21, SEIU Local 1021, and IBEW Local 1245-are demanding “immediate action” to protect essential city services in the wake of a $93-million shortfall projected in the city’s latest revenue and expenditures report.
