Frustrated by management’s disconnect, chronic staffing shortages, and low pay, staff are turning to Teamsters Local 696 — with overwhelming support — to finally have a voice in policy and caseload decisions. While the center hires outside consultants to influence the outcome, employees see it as a tactic to suppress union momentum. Their goal? To be heard, protected, and empowered to shape workplace practices — not just for better conditions, but to deliver better care to their community.
