As state workers in Sacramento prepare to return to offices four days a week this summer, traffic congestion is expected to worsen. Many employees blame Governor Gavin Newsom's unpopular telework policy for this issue. A grassroots campaign to showcase this sentiment has raised over $15,000 for a billboard protest in less than a week. State worker Emily, who organized the effort, notes strong support among colleagues for the cause. The governor's office argues that in-person work strengthens service delivery, but many state workers remain unsatisfied with this directive.
In less than a week, an online campaign to erect a 14-by-48-foot protest of the governor's telework policy raised over $15,000.
Emily, a state worker who organized the grassroots fundraising effort, was 'pleasantly shocked' that so many of her colleagues responded so enthusiastically.
Gardon, a spokesperson for the governor's office, said in-person work helps the state provide better services to Californians by 'increasing collaboration, innovation, and accountability.'
