S.F. courts grind to a halt amid worker strike, delaying trials
Briefly

"We've been understaffed for a very long time, so we're spread very thin," said Rob Borders, a courtroom clerk of 10 years at the Hall of Justice and an organizer of today's strike. "And the result of that is a lot of times we're asked to go cover in courtrooms that we haven't been trained in."
"Mistakes happen because of the poor training and a little mistake that the clerk makes can have a lot of ramifications for the community," he said.
The strike and resulting delays only add to an ongoing backlog in the San Francisco court system, where cases have already been delayed significantly.
