As part of their attack on public services, the Trump Administration has reduced the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) workforce by roughly 30,000 positions. Cuts to VA workers mean cuts to healthcare for millions of veterans.

Today we picketed outside the Solano County Health & Social Services building. Instead of bad-faith bargaining, Solano County should invest in recruiting & retaining the experienced workers who provide vital county services.
We're ready to strike if we need to to keep our public services strong.
