Union says San Jose animal shelter needs new leader to reset the culture'

The union representing the frontline workers at San Jose's beleaguered Animal Care Center has implored the city to hire a new director from outside the ranks, warning that a failure to do so would erode trust, morale and service and perpetuate the very dysfunction the city claims to want to fix.
