Solano County Public Defender

Joint Teamsters Local 150 strike of public defenders and district attorneys ongoing since Feb 24, 2026. Union cites ~20% wage gap vs. Bay Area peers, ~14% vs. neighbor counties (Contra Costa, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Alameda). County's 3%/2%/1% offer rejected. SEIU 1021 settled separately mid-March; attorney units excluded from that deal.

Daily Republic reported supervisors taking up the contract with the striking attorneys in early April. Proposed structure is 3% year one, 2% year two, 1% year three covering April 7, 2026 - Oct 28, 2028 — same 3-2-1 ladder Solano BOS approved March 24 for Teamsters 856 Corrections Supervisors and SEIU 1021 (Mar 13). Union originally cited 20%/14% gaps to Bay Area / neighbor counties. If ratified at this structure, Solano sets the 2026 floor for CA county attorney bargaining. Strike continues into Week 13 (Day 84) on May 18, 2026 with no publicly confirmed ratification — recommend direct outreach to Solano BOS clerk (707-784-6100).

On June 2, 2026 the Solano County Board of Supervisors approved a three-year contract with public defenders and deputy district attorneys (Teamsters Local 150), ending the joint strike that began February 24, 2026. Confirmed terms: a 6%-over-three-years 3-2-1 ladder (3% / 2% / 1%) with ~$4.89M total fiscal impact (reported lump-sum sweeteners and exact step dates appear in board materials but are not independently confirmed in press coverage). Attorneys had sought ~12% and one DPD noted the deal trails inflation, but it confirms the 3-2-1 structure as the 2026 California county-attorney pay floor and resolves the longest-running CA defender labor action of the cycle.
