Count another small victory for the 721 members who have blown the doors open on exposing the bully crisis at DHS, and are leading the way to fix it! MLK Outpatient Center (OPC) CEO Cynthia M.

It’s up to Bully Watch members at LAC+USC to uproot the toxic workplace environment by sticking up for one another and taking a stand against bullying in every department.
There is no doubt 721 members at LA County DHS are making tremendous strides in eradicating the bullying at DHS facilities and moving the Department to finally recognize they have a serious bullying problem on their hands. In just the last two weeks both LAC+USC CEO Dan Castillo and Harbor-UCLA CEO Kim McKenzie came forward in condemning the bullying behavior in their respective facilities. Their public acknowledgement of a crisis that must be immediately address comes on the heels of the May 2nd department wide memo by Dr. Mitch Katz condemning bullying behavior and the unrelenting push by SEIU 721 members determined to eradicate bullying at DHS.

The passionate group of over 150 people in attendance and Dr. Mitch Katz reached a consensus on forming an emergency labor-management task force ready to push for immediate action and find comprehensive long-term solutions to end the crisis once and for all.
