Members in Northern California stay active to fight Budget Cuts
On Friday, March 27th, in Northern California, the members and staff of our Local put on four separate actions to kick off our campaign against the State's cuts!
In Oakland (Alameda County), 50 members picketed and chanted outside the State building downtown.
In Napa, a group of 10 passed out hundreds of flyers around the County Administration Center, calling on both State and County officials to do the right thing.
In Salinas (Monterey County), 29 members and 4 recipients were present. They distributed about 300 flyers to the public, many of whom were County workers and consumers of public health services.
...And all the way up in Willits (Mendocino County), a brave duo also passed out hundreds of flyers and actively engaged many passers-by.
The vast majority of long-term care workers in Alameda, Napa, Monterey, and Mendocino stand to take a 20% pay cut if we can't turn the State around. These cuts would be devastating, and must be averted if the federal economic stimulus plan is to work.
