Labor Update: San Francisco Superior Court Operations

The San Francisco Superior Court has announced that a tentative agreement was reached late Friday evening with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1021, effectively ending a two-day strike by courtroom clerks. While the strike caused temporary delays in hearing schedules across the city’s court system, management and union negotiators have successfully reached a consensus regarding staffing levels and training protocols. Courtroom clerks are scheduled to return to their posts on Monday morning, March 2, 2026. Residents with pending court appearances are advised to prepare for normal operations next week, as the court remains committed to resolving the backlog created during the labor action.

Public Health Advisory: Tuberculosis Monitoring Update

As of late February, health officials have confirmed three active cases within the school community. Health Officer Dr. Susan Philip emphasizes that the risk to the general public remains extremely low. Targeted testing for students and staff remains a priority to prevent further transmission, but no related cases have been reported at other municipal schools. The SFDPH reminds residents that latent TB is not contagious and that the current proactive monitoring and treatment efforts are designed to maintain broad community safety.
