East Bay Times Letters to the Editor for May 9, 2023
I’m a Local 21 member working in the Department of Transportation as a public works supervisor and I’ve given the city of Oakland 26 years of faithful service. I thank Mayor Thao for balancing the budget while protecting the essential work I and my crews do every day, preventing layoffs and making an investment in the understaffing crisis we face in DOT and across the city.
The mayor’s budget proposal includes funding for a citywide analysis to find out where the city is falling behind so we can then focus our resources on making those jobs more competitive and keeping city employees from leaving and going elsewhere.Mr. Wipond’s essay is long on describing the problem but short on recommending solutions.
