1,700 county employees in San Luis Obispo may strike as early as December. If these employees do go on strike, this will be the first government employee strike to ever have occurred in this county. County employees are displeased because they received a wage increase that did not meet their needs and did not seem to take into consideration the increasingly high living costs in their area. Employees recently told county officials that they intend to strike unless their demands are met, which include a 2.5% wage increase.
