The Trump administration recently terminated about 1,000 probationary employees from the National Park Service, impacting key roles such as Yosemite's locksmith, Nate Vince. Before his dismissal, Vince trained for nearly a year and filled a crucial role managing the park's extensive security systems. His firing, less than three weeks before the end of his probation, left him needing to vacate park housing. Other laid-off employees reported similar challenges, highlighting the abrupt changes affecting the workforce and park operations, exacerbating a sense of insecurity among remaining staff.
The people that fired me don't know who I am, or what I do, Vince wrote on Instagram. They simply don't understand this park and how big and complex it is.
We have endless things that need to be secured in various forms, and I'm the sole keeper of those keys... it's a critical role.
