In fact, your actions<br \/>\nconveyan identity as Mr. Duplicity instead ofMr. Pro Labor.<br \/>\nUnder your leadership, Tenderloin Housing Clinic removed 2 Shop Stewards from their<br \/>\nworksites because they stood up for workers rights under the collective bargaining<br \/>\nagreement. I was investigated under false charges and the findings from the investigation<br \/>\nwere never presented to me. Why was the Housing Department Shop Steward position<br \/>\nsuddenly and unilaterally terminated? THC management does not take grievances<br \/>\nseriously. Harassment, wrongful firings, prohibiting union members from speaking to<br \/>\nother members all occurs on your watch. Your efforts to portray yourself as progressive<br \/>\nand pro-labor fall very short of that goal and writing a book about your Union busting<br \/>\ncomrades does not get you off the hook. What about a book detailing the duplicitous<br \/>\ntricks you have played such as transferring me from my job site in retaliation for my<br \/>\nwork bringing to light the blatant discriminatory practices and nepotism practiced by your<br \/>\norganization? You have undermined the union contract by being in bed with SEIU<br \/>\nmanagement, circumventing the grievance procedures agreed upon in the collective<br \/>\nbargaining agreement with your employees.<br \/>\nThe citizens of San Francisco and City Hall have been good to you and your family,<br \/>\nfunding THC for many years, however you have been self -serving, acting with impunity<br \/>\nand an out of control sense of entitlement. How many working families have you put out<br \/>\nof work because of your unethical practices? I challenge you to represent the community<br \/>\nin a positive way -right now -you have absolutely no credibility. Your work should<br \/>\nreflect your mission statement. The time has come for you to &#8220;MAN UP&#8221; and come out<br \/>\nof cyberspace for a minute or two. Your racist ways of dealing with people of color must<br \/>\nchange yes we MUST have some&#8221; SOCIAL CHANGE&#8221; at THC. Stop being the JOKE of<br \/>\nthe community!<br \/>\nNo accountability<br \/>\nIn the years that you have been Executive Director, ethics has been on the bottom of the<br \/>\nlist when dealing with workers. Perhaps the time has come for the City of San Francisco<br \/>\nto establish civilian oversight of how YOU go about your Bullying ways of dealing with<br \/>\npeople in the workplace. If stiff penalties, fines and imprisonment were ill place,<br \/>\naccountability would be the norm. Until laws are put in place and your buddies cease in<br \/>\ntheir complicity, we, the rank and file members of Unions will continue the good fight<br \/>\nagainst Racism, Collusion, unfair labor practices etc. in the workplace.<br \/>\nLaborfest was established in 1994 to commemorate the San Francisco General Strike<br \/>\nand West Coast Waterfront strike. This year is the 75th anniversary of these historic<br \/>\nevents for working people. Laborfest is not for Racist Union Busters. SHAME! SHAME!<br \/>\nAnd another SHAME on your buddies for allowing you to promote your locating your<br \/>\nUnion Buster buddies and letting the world know what the hell they are doing.
