Modesto Workforce Alliance Falls Down on the Job
By Emerson Drake 
So a local hotel is looking for breakfast attendants, housekeeping staff, maintenance personnel, and front desk clerks but can’t find an easy way to post on the Modesto Workforce Alliance website. These people are getting state money to run the unemployment office here in Modesto. The County is giving the Alliance $94,000 in taxpayer money to help develop business and bring jobs. While at the same time the Alliance is receiving $64,000 from Modesto taxpayers for the same alleged services. To create job postings looking for workers should be a no-brainer but it isn’t an easy task, as a matter of fact you can’t. So I called the Alliance for a phone number and guess what? They gave me a number but no one answered it. So I called the Board of Supervisors and asked for assistance. Supervisor Monteith was on hand and is looking into it as you read this.
We sure aren’t getting much for all that money. Mr. White (Alliance CEO) I’m told by your office that you are working on updating the site by next year. I think you need to step up your time table.
