Los Angeles County Federation of Labor

“Every worker deserves a fair process at the bargaining table — especially the first responders who put their lives on the line to protect our communities every day. Binding arbitration ensures that public safety professionals are treated fairly, while keeping politics out of decisions that impact public safety and worker retention.”

Los Angeles County Firefighters Local 1014

“Every day, more than 3,400 LA County firefighters and paramedics answer the call in our communities’ most dangerous moments, from historic wildfires to life-threatening emergencies. While firefighters are prohibited from striking, we are still fighting for a voice at the table. Binding arbitration ensures the people who risk everything to protect LA County have a balanced process to resolve disputes and continue serving the public with the resources and support they deserve.”

County Coalition of Unions

“Binding arbitration is about fairness, transparency, and respecting the workers who keep Los Angeles County running. When public safety employees are barred from striking, they deserve an independent process that guarantees their voices are heard and negotiations are handled in good faith.”

Glendale Firefighters Association Local 776

"...Firefighters, paramedics, deputy sheriffs, lifeguards, police officers, and other first responders cannot suspend emergency services when labor negotiations reach an impasse. The public depends on them regardless of the status of bargaining, and their duty to respond does not stop when contract disputes remain unresolved.
Binding arbitration provides a fair, reasonable, and impartial process to address that reality. It gives public safety
employees a meaningful path to resolve bargaining impasses while ensuring that essential emergency services continue without disruption."
