Staffers of Supervisors Hilda Solis and Kathryn Barger allege in an anonymous letter that the supervisors have not allowed them to consistently work from home, despite safety concerns.
Los Angeles County Supervisors Hilda Solis and Kathryn Barger have made clear their views on ways to minimize risky behavior during the pandemic.But some of their own employees say the supervisors have failed to keep them safe.
“They feel entitled to require staff to report back to their offices although their work can be performed remotely. It would be impossible for them to make a case that we need to be in our office spaces to perform our duties,” reads the letter, referring to Solis and Barger. “I am proud of the efforts of my staff in some of the hardest impacted communities in the county,” she said in the statement.
Currently, staff work remotely 50% of the time and in the office the other half. The use of teleworking as an option for employees has “fluctuated over time” and was most recently reinstated July 14, according to Barger’s office. This was after employees sent their letter.
