There was a protest last week in front of Randy Shaw’s Tenderloin Housing Clinic because of health care cuts to the workers at the same time Tenderloin Housing Clinic, publicly funded by the city, is expanding with a larger budget<\/a>. This of course contravenes Mayor Newsom’s own policy on health care which the press has made a big deal about. <\/p>\n

The protest was attended by two San Francisco candidates for district elections this November, Debra Walker<\/a> (district 6) and Chris Jackson<\/a> (district 10). The fact that these two supervisor candidates attended the protest is significant because it shows that they recognize the problem with Randy Shaw and Tenderloin Housing Clinic. You won’t find district 6 hopeful Jane Kim at the protest because she’s supported by Randy Shaw and Paul Hogarth, and neither will you find another district 6 hopeful Elaine Zamora because she’s on the Tenderloin Housing Clinic board of directors<\/p>\n

the first news of the protest came from Indybay<\/a><\/p>\n

H Brown weighs in on this <\/p>\n

boys and girls,<\/p>\n

Got this in the overnight mail and thought those
\nof you really really on the inside might like to
\ncheck it out. It’s a protest rally that starts
\nin front of Randy Shaw’s Tenderloin Housing Clinic
\nbuilding and ends up in their offices.<\/p>\n

The ironic thing here is that Shaw has posed as
\na friend of unions for years (like Bruce Brugmann)
\nbut he fights them in his own non-profit business.
\nHe fired shop steward Nate Holmes last year and
\nendured protests at his office on Larkin St. and
\nthen at his luxury mansion in the Oakland Hills.
\nI commented at the time that it was odd that Haaland
\nattended neither protest. I mean, he’s the
\npolitical rep of SEIU 1021.<\/p>\n

This year with Shaw cutting back on health care
\nbenefits for the workers in his employ Haaland thought
\nhe’d better show up. I mean, if Gabriel’s gonna
\nattack Jeff Adachi, he’s gotta at least give Randy
\na ‘wait a minute bro’. D-6 candidate, Debra Walker
\n(whom Shaw hates because she refused to accept he and
\nJoe O’Donoghue’s control of DBT) was also there as
\nwas D-10 hopeful Chris Jackson. None of the trio
\nspoke on this tape which is odd for candidates.<\/p>\n

THC got 84 million bucks from Newsom this year and it’s
\nclear Shaw is using it to expand his holdings and not
\nto take care of his workers. He’s a heartless and
\ncompletely duplicitous empire builder.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

SEIU 1021 THC Workers Protest Attacks On Healthcare-Petition ED Randy Shaw- Dozens of SEIU San Francisco Tenderloin Housing Clinic workers on 7\/23\/2010 and spoke out against the attack on their heatlhcare benefits by the agency and it’s director Randy Shaw. They presented a petition and talked about how these attacks threaten their lives and their families.

Here’s what the flyer for the event said: Let’s Send The Message to Randy Shaw: If You’re Pro-Labor Then Quit Stalling The Arbitration Process for Nate Holmes! Monday, July 13, 2009 Note: This is about Randy Shaw, not Modern Times Bookstore. Last year Randy Shaw, Executive Director of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic (THC), unjustly terminated Nate Holmes’ for being an active, militant union member in the workplace. Shaw is known for writing on progressive issues and has a new book out on Cesar Chavez that he will be presenting at Modern Times bookstore as part of LaborFest this year. This is precisely why Shaw should know better than to treat workers, especially workers of color like Nate, with contempt and to flagrantly violate the union contract that protects them. Please join community activists and union members to let Randy Shaw know that writing books doesn’t let him off the hook. His event will be at 7pm, but we will be meeting at 6:30pm outside of Modern Times bookstore to let those who are coming to hear Shaw’s presentation know the truth!

The main page for Nate Holmes and that related protest against Randy Shaw is still located here<\/a><\/p>\n

Bonus, a little more from H Brown<\/a>, somewhat related to this because you won’t find any of the current Board of Supervisors at a protest like this because of the following. It’s a big difference if you think about it<\/p>\n

A week or so back Randy Shaw (boss at the taxpayer sponsored BeyondChron.com) wrote an
\narticle in which he concluded that the BOS \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcClass of 2008\u00e2\u20ac\u00b2 is the best group to have
\never served on the Board.<\/p>\n

What a crock of shit! Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s get real and out front here. Shaw likes this Board
\nand this Mayor because they gave his group 84 million dollars and a 4 year contract in
\nthe latest budget. Tenderloin Housing Corporation which Shaw founded and runs is
\nthe worst manager of SRO\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in the City. In the Mission he hires gang bangers to run
\nhis buildings (he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s had to go to court to uproot one group). In my Tenderloin,
\ngangsters and drug dealers roam the halls of the Seneca Hotel beating residents.
\nWhen one resident filmed these incidents and put them on the internet Randy threatened
\nlawsuits and refused to release his own company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s videos of the evil that regularly
\noccurs on the premises he oversees.<\/p>\n

So Shaw puts on his knee pads and gives metaphorical head to what is, in fact, an
\nabsolutely horrible BOS incarantion. Not surprising really. Randy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chief
\ndeputy, Paul Hogarth wrote a column (paid for by you) in Beyond Chron during the last
\nmayoral contest suggesting that Progressives not run a candidate but rely upon the
\nMayor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s generosity. He was right as far as THC goes. The flood of largesse
\nfrom Room 200 to Shaw and THC became a tidal wave. Oh, and let me not forget to
\ncongratulate Hogarth on capturing an award as the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcTop Policitical Blogger in the
\nState\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. I understand it was given by the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHealthy Penis Society\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. These guys
\ntick me off when they use public money and advanced yoga to print article after article
\nblowing smoke up their own asses.<\/p>\n

That said and off my chest let me just segue into my specific predictions regarding
\ntoday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Board votes by saying that the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcClass of 2008\u00e2\u20ac\u00b2 which Shaw loves so much is a
\nthrowback to the Barbara Kaufman Board of a decade or so back. Not since Babs had
\nto install extra benches in front of her office at City Hall to hold all the guys in
\n$3,000 suits with checks to pay her off has there been such a rubber-stamp BOS.<\/p>\n

The irony is that while Barbara never denied being a handmaiden of the developers
\n(Christ, her husband \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Ron \u00e2\u20ac\u201c was one) \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Shaw\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcesteemed\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Class of 2008 still wears
\nthe sheeps clothing over their \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcDemon Sheep\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 black inner souls.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Damn, h. \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 back off!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

update, rumours?…latest from H Brown this morning<\/p>\n

\n Things just keep rolling in about Shaw and his
\ndealings through his SF\/CA\/US funded Tenderloin
\nNeighborhood Clinic\/Beyond Chron\/SRO Colloboratives.
\nSeems lotsa folks think there be fishy things uh
\ngoin’ on there.<\/p>\n

One party said that instead of seeking to have
\nAdachi audited that Chris Daly should make having
\nShaw and his outfit audited a going away present to
\nTHC and other SRO tenants.<\/p>\n

Another says that slumlord Paul Boschetti, a close
\nbusiness partner of Shaw’s has been doing crooked
\nproperty deals behind the scenes for years. It’s
\nsaid that Boschetti shielded secret Shaw real estate
\nholdings that included the building which houses the
\nTHC and that Randy has ignored illegal Boschetti
\nconversions of his holdings in the Verona and Fusion
\nhotels from SRO to tourist\/boutique status.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
