What Do The New Covid Restrictions Mean For Classified Staff (And For YOU?) With Special Guests Temple Lentz and Julie Olson

#LaborRadioPod

Vancouver School District classified employees have been furloughed for months, and they're struggling. Barb Plymate, president of the Vancouver Association of Educational Support Professionals (http://www.vaespwa.org/) joins Shannon and Harold to talk about the district's justification for these furloughs... and the fact that it has the money to put these people back to work!

Clark County Councilors Temple Lentz ( https://www.facebook.com/CouncilorTempleLentz/) and Julie Olson (https://clark.wa.gov/councilors/julie-olson) stop by to talk about the new restrictions, what the County is doing to help working people deal with them, and what effect they might have on the holidays!
