Los Angeles Superior Court receives a COVID-19 violation notice as a result of a CFI complaint on behalf of LA Court InterpretersDear members, CFI filed a complaint with the California Department of Industrial Relations because of serious safety issues that were reported to the Union. As you are all aware, dear colleagues passed away from COVID-19 in LA Court. These tragic losses shook the entire interpreter community in California. Two Health and Safety Grievances were also filed, and settled, as LA Superior Court heard CFIs request to keep interpreters safe. We are sharing with you the citation issued to LA County Superior Court, as well as the letter sent to our attorney, Laurie Burgess. Laurie assisted us in this process, as she coordinated and filed this complaint on CFI's behalf. We will keep you updated on this issue.
