LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Tens of thousands of Los Angeles County employees could walk out of their jobs if their union does not reach an agreement with county leaders. The union filed a 10-day strike notice, citing unfair labor practices.

"Are we tired of this? Yes! Are we exhausted of this? Yes! Are we ready to strike? Yes!" employees chanted at a protest on Friday.

The SEIU Local 721 labor union in Los Angeles is officially filing a 10-day strike notice, citing 44 unfair practices they claim have gone unanswered for six months.

"It's been an unfortunate last six months with zeros, with disrespect, with broken promises, and we want that to end today," said David Greene, the SEIU Local 721 president.
