Apartment Investment Management Company (AIMCO) adversely impacted hundreds.

It is not too often - one sees the solidarity - sisters and brothers - standing together as workers and fighting for their rights.

In this case Apartment Investment Management Company (AIMCO) adversely impacted hundreds.

The testimony was powerful and some of the Supervisors were emotionally affected.

San Francisco is a Union City and for so many workers to be adversely affected - forced to pay money from their pay checks, verbally abused, physically abused - San Franciscans present were shocked.

AIMCO is an out of State company and has chosen with intent to play one group against the other.

The Latinos were told the African Americans were no good - lazy and so on - the "N" word was used the "F" expletive - it was demeaning to these workers.

Many of the Latinos and African Americans had worked on other jobs - and knew one another - but on the AIMCO project - they were forced to be bring about division among the workers along racial lines.

A class action suit has been filed and the Board of Supervisor and hopefully the Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom will act.

The District Attorney has been too close to follow on those indicted - it has been months and the "thugs" are on the loose.

This City, San Francisco is a Racist City and so many of us know of blatant discrimination - but in this case - most everything was problematic.

The sellouts were present - mostly Black who had worked with AIMCO. Some of them appeared after the hearing - pretending to be good - when they had for months done the devil's work.

There will be more - and we shall report in on IndyMedia.
