“So many tears were shed today by so many people because of what’s happening” he said.Īn emergency had arisen because the shelter was suddenly understaffed. Michael had been at the shelter for 10 years and worked his way up from a volunteer to shelter manager. Michael’s complaint appears to have gone unheeded and the board fired him subsequently about a week later for job abandonment.
Sanducci went to Ed Day’s office and spoke with the director of policy and intergovernmental relations about a myriad of problems including the interventions of the president of the board in getting friends hired as employees at the shelter. It’s reported that a board member stood by the door of the shelter and said that anyone who left the shelter (with Michael Sanducci) would lose their job.Ī large number of staff walked off the job nonetheless. A substantial number of staff followed him in walking off the job. Sanducci walked off the job to take his complaint to County Executive Ed Day. Sanducci claims that he introduced no kill to the shelter whereas in the past there was a lot of unnecessary euthanasia of the animals. A substantial number of staff believe that he was a vital employee that kept Hi Tor animal shelter functioning as a no kill shelter. The petition has achieved over 13,000 signatures and they want him rehired. There appears to have been animosity between Sanducci and DiBernardo resulting in what a petition in support of Michael says was a vendetta against him by the board of directors.
