Sonoma County Workers Rally at Board of Supervisors to Demand Action to Address Severe Staffing Crisis
Short staffing is jeopardizing critical public services and endangering residents – and frustrated county workers are speaking up.
Sonoma County is experiencing an unprecedented staffing crisis that is leaving residents in a lurch, particularly the county’s most vulnerable. After the strain of multiple fires, floods, and the pandemic, on top of pay that has not kept pace with inflation, employees are leaving the County at alarming rates to find more sustainable employment elsewhere. Those who remain are struggling under an ever-increasing workload – and county residents are paying the price.

A message from SEIU 1021 President Theresa Rutherford regarding the City of Monterey Park Killings
It is with great sadness that we have witnessed yet another mass shooting of fellow citizens in our country. These mass murders continue to create fear in our communities and destroy families. They are antithetical to the very foundation this country is built on: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
