SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A union representative who works at CalPERS is leading one of the most visible fights in California state government against strict in-office requirements amid a new COVID-19 surge.
Hoang-Van Nguyen, a district labor council president with SEIU Local 1000, addressed the retirement system’s Board of Administration at an open meeting last week, demanding more flexibility to work remotely amid virus outbreaks.
“Infection rates keep rising,” Nguyen told the board.
