October 9, 2025: "CSEA filed an improper practice charge with PERB over the District Attorney’s Office’s rollout of an automated system that’s taking over work our members have always done," Local 830 president Kris Kalender said in an email statement.

It’s unfortunate that we have to go through a legal process to get there, but we’ll protect our members’ work at all costs. We’re not against technology, but it can’t come at the expense of workers’ rights or jobs."
