Los Angeles, CA - Dec. 22, 2023

The following is a statement from Dr. Stuart Bussey, President, Union of American Physicians and Dentists, regarding the strike that was scheduled to begin on Dec. 27, 2023:

“We have been negotiating for more than two years and LA County doctors, psychiatrists, dentists, and veterinarians are prepared to strike for the sake of the care of their patients. We agreed to suspend the strike until February to give the County time to review potential tax implications related to the MegaFlex plan and will remain strike-ready. As the County does its study, we will continue to negotiate other critical matters. The UAPD remains committed to securing a package that facilitates the recruitment and retention of physicians, psychiatrists, veterinarians, and dentists.” – Stuart A. Bussey, M.D., J.D., UAPD President.
