More Than 465 County of Orange Teamsters Walk Off the Job as Agreement is Not Reached

ORANGE, Calif., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- County of Orange Teamsters have been forced to launch an unfair labor practice strike this morning after the county failed to offer a fair contract. Today at 11 a.m. PT, while the Orange County Board of Supervisors meets, Local 952 members on strike will hold a press conference to address the work stoppage and subsequent disruptions to county services.
