May Day rallies are planned across the Bay Area, focusing on worker rights, particularly at UCSF where employees strike against a hiring freeze impacting patient care. Labor organizations advocate for improved staffing amid ongoing demands. Alongside worker protests, events will address immigrant rights, reflecting diverse community concerns. The UC system expresses hope for negotiation outcomes while aiming to maintain operational stability for scheduled healthcare services. Other protests will spotlight judges' independence amidst governmental challenges, showcasing a broader struggle for justice and labor fairness.
"I'm seeing my patients wait in the ED (Emergency Department) two days, four days, six days to be admitted to the hospital. How is this hiring freeze going to help us? It's not. We need more staff to be able to see the volume of patients that are seeking care here."
"We've seen judges attacked for exercising their independent judgment as Article III judges, as they should," said Charles Jung, who is president of the Bar Association of San Francisco.
