Labor On The Job

Join Labor On The Job as we cover the angry battle against discrimination and the cover-up of discrimination by Bobby Alvarado against Women, Black and other UBC Local 22 carpenters from San Francisco. Local 22 carpenters charge that they are not getting jobs that have been guaranteed for residents under residential hiring programs and instead some are being told to go to Stockton to work. At the same time under the control of Northern California District Council of Carpenters head Bobby Alverado, new business agents have been assigned in San Francisco who have never been carpenters to positions as business agents in San Francisco. The program also interviews fired San Francisco business agent Jim Salinas who was discharged allegedly for supporting Mark Sanchez for supervisor in San Francisco. Salinas explains what happened and why he is fighting for justice in the 40,000 member district council.
These issues have heightened as a result of the growing mass unemployment in the construction industry and the growing affect on working carpenters.
Joining the show are
Jim Salinas, Fired Business Agent UBC Local 22 and member
Louise Williams, member UBC Local 22
Miguel Gomez, member UBC Local 22
Paula Diseth, member UBC Local 22
