On April 5th: Thousands of nurses, firefighters, teachers, and labor activists converged outside the Ritz-Carlton hotel in San Francisco to protest a Schwarzenegger fundraiser for a proposed fall special election. Protesters spilled through police lines and blockaded all four corners surrounding the hotel; several dignitaries, including George Shultz and his wife's car, were surrounded by angry crowds as they entered the fundraiser. Schwarzenegger is pushing initiatives that would curtail state worker pensions, change the way teachers are paid, and establish new fiscal controls affecting schools.
