More than 100 employees of the Sierra Club have accused the organization’s leader of failing to “articulate any concrete strategy” to fight the Trump administration in a letter to the leading environmental group’s board of directors.
The 117 individuals — mostly at the manager level, and calling themselves the “majority” of the organization’s non-unionized staff — said they were expressing a vote of no confidence in a letter on Monday, claiming that Executive Director Ben Jealous has not provided “any vision, leadership, or inspiration.”
“There is a widespread impression that Mr. Jealous may not be familiar with the Sierra Club’s work at all,” the letter writers wrote.
