‘The work I do matters’: California Fish and Wildlife environmental scientists rally for telework and raises

State workers across California have rallied over the past year to protest against Newsom’s mandated RTO, or return to office. A group of CDFW scientists based in Redding take a solidarity photo as part of a statewide rally. Environmental scientists in Shasta, whose work protects California’s environment through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, are no exception.
