After weeks of mediation, the union representing 12,000 Santa Clara County employees says they have ended the voluntary talks, citing an offer to management employees they argue is more generous.

Service Employees International Union Local 521 entered into mediation with the county on Oct. 31, following a rolling strike that took place for ten days in October.
