The image features the SEIU Local 1000 logo at the top left. In bold white text, it announces "Local 1000 in the News" against a dark purple background with a silhouette of a domed building, likely the California State Capitol. Below, it states that state workers across California will strike on Wednesday, October 21, marking a first in the union's history. A notice from KQED announces California's largest public sector union set to strike later this month. SEIU Local 1000 plans a statewide strike on October 21, represented by 100,000 workers including office staff, cooks, custodians, and nurses. Graphic with torn paper displaying headlines. The first headline from "LAist" reads, "CA's biggest state worker union authorizes strike." The second headline from "KION CBS Central Coast" reads, "California state workers' union calls for first-ever strike on Oct. 21 after contract talks stall." In the background, there are partially visible workers in safety vests.
