San Francisco Courthouse Strike Exposes Strain In City's Judicial System (PHOTOS)
A strike at San Francisco Superior Court on Monday halted much of the city court's business as workers walked off the job demanding a resumption of labor negotiations that have been stalled since February.
Chants of "Rise up, shut it down, San Francisco's a union town," echoed off the walls of the Civic Center as hundreds of striking court workers, clad in purple Service Employees International Union T-shirts, carried signs slamming court officials for a slew of furlough days and five consecutive years without cost-of-living pay increases.
