Members of the union that represents nearly 12,000 Santa Clara County workers have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike amid negotiations with county officials.

The leaders of Service Employees International Union local 521 have not yet called for a strike or set a date for one. But the vote, which was tallied Friday night, authorizes union leadership to call a strike, said Mullissa Willette, an employee in the county assessor’s office and first vice president of the local.
