SEIU Local 521 is planning a strike after an injunction to stop a 9% pay cut from the county was denied.

Around 4,000 employees are currently enduring the pay cut, but they were hoping the Public Employee Relations Board would force Fresno County back into negotiations. Since that won't happen, union members say the next step is a strike.

Local 521 isn't saying when the strike would happen, only that it's being planned. Fresno County Supervisors say if it happens, they're ready.
