Prosecutors’ Union Wants Left-Wing DA Booted Out Of Office: REPORT

The Alameda County Prosecutors’ Association voted “overwhelmingly” to support the recall of Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, according to an email obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Price dismissed the move from the union, arguing at a press conference that the its opposition to her came because some union leaders “have a problem” with not being able to discriminate on the basis of race or sexuality under her leadership.The union, however, says it wants Price out because she’s done a poor job running the office, according to the email obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle.

“Our support for the recall reflects the unfair and hostile work conditions that we face everyday, as we try in good faith to implement the policy directives that Pamela Price has created,” the union email announcing the voting results reads. “Put different, our support for the recall is based on labor issues, not policy.”

Patti Lee, who previously worked as a public information officer for Price’s office, alleged in a recent lawsuit that she “experienced a clear anti-Asian sentiment” during her time in the Alameda County district attorney’s office.

“I have never been subjected to such humiliating and bullying behavior in a workplace,” a statement from Lee reads. “It is unacceptable in any professional environment, but when the perpetrator is a public official who claims to be a civil rights advocate, it is unconscionable.”

Lee also alleges that Price chose “to hide, delete and change” public records to avoid complying with information requests from the public.
