“'LA firefighters say they are understaffed, not being paid properly”

“LOS ANGELES - In the wake of the California wildfires, some LAFD firefighters are bringing attention to the major staffing problems the department is facing. 

Firefighters say they are severely understaffed and are not being paid for all the hours they are working. 

Firefighters represented by the law firm Sethi Orchid Miner LLP held a press conference Tuesday morning outside LA City Hall to discuss the issue and the collection action they filed against the city. 

They say they have been raising concerns about understaffing for years, and while it wasn't a major issue in the past, it's now causing serious problems for firefighters and the city.”
