The union representing employees in assistance offices across Pennsylvania plans to picket Wednesday outside the Lancaster office on Manor Street.
The Service Employees International Union Local 668's complaint: Too few caseworkers to properly serve its needy clients.
“I’m hoping to have 25 or 30 people on the sidewalk” between 12:30 and 1 p.m. and organizers handing out fliers from 10 a.m. until about 3 p.m., said JoAnne Sessa, chairwoman of Local 668's Rank and File Committee.
The union represents approximately 4,400 caseworkers at county assistance offices across Pennsylvania.
