Yosemite National Park is facing operational challenges as a shortage of custodial workers has emerged due to delayed seasonal hiring attributed to the Trump administration. Internal communications revealed that park employees across multiple departments, including biologists and IT personnel, will be reassigned to perform custodial duties in campground restrooms. Staff members express a mix of willingness and frustration, noting lack of opposition from leadership regarding these responsibilities. The situation raises concerns about workforce management at the park during peak visiting times.
I'm curious about how far up the chain of command this goes, said Ken Yager, the founder of the Yosemite Climbing Association. It seems that this issue isn't just localized.
I'm not above cleaning a bathroom but personally am sick of our leadership not pushing back on anything and just towing the line, said a Resources Management employee.
