Therefore, the National Labor Relations Board will resume processing the charge. We { several union members at Tenderloin Housing Clinic} have been told by our union representative that SEIU 1021 attorneys were working on an arbitration date with THC attorneys. I have attempted to contact Field Director Pattie Tamura for months to get clarification about what the SEIU 1021 position is on going to arbitration, no  call back. SEIU 1021 Field  Director Tamura  received a letter in June &#8211; no answer. This behavior indicates to me that Randy Shaw and the SEIU 1021 management have a  cozy relationship at the expense of the rank and file workers at Tenderloin Housing Clinic. Apparently SEIU 1021 did not file for arbitration &#8212;&#8212; SEIU reputation for not representing members is nothing new &#8212; I filed charges against SEIU 1021 last year for not representing me. It&#8217;s call a  Duty of Fair Representation. The good fight goes on with Randy Shaw and SEIU 1021 in bed together. This should send a strong message to members about who &#8216;s really representing them but then when members receive intimidating and threatening messages like the Human Resources Department sends out to workers and no one stands up &#8212; It&#8221;s a Shame. This is America &#8212; we the people can no longer let these racist thugs and union busters violate our rights and stand by &#8212; doing Nothing. Randy Shaw and SEIU 1021 WILL BE EXPOSED, THEY MUST DO THE RIGHT THING OR LEAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A pattern is emerging where Randy Shaw is missing when these protests happen.

If THC was a public entity, Randy Shaw himself likely would have been fired by now. &#8220;No accountability&#8221; is a recurring chant among the protesters, which is a big reason why people <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.sfbg.com\/entry.php?entry_id=4827&#038;catid=4&#038;volume_id=317&#038;issue_id=322&#038;volume_num=40&#038;issue_num=04\">warn about the dangers of privatizing<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Privatization is a recipe for corruption. There always has been and always will be some level of graft, corruption, and incompetence in government operations; there will always be the occasional city employee who sleeps on the job, fudges time cards, doesn&#8217;t do the job right, and somehow manages to avoid being fired.
