SEIU 1021 Field Dirctor Patti Tamura Stabs SEIU 1021 Shop Steward Nate Holmes In The Back

by SEIU Local 1021 Steward Nate Holmes
SEIU staffers including SEIU Field Rep Patti Tamura refused to file grievances over the illegal firing of Tenderloin Housing Clinic SEIU 1021 shop steward Nate Holmes. Tamura has refused to respond to calls from the fired steward and the union officials are apparently in bed with the boss Randy Shaw. They seem to be more interested in defending Shaw than standing up for the workers and fighting the racist attacks. Call Patty Tamura and ask her why she refuses to fight for SEIU 1021 steward Nate Holmes and won't even take his calls.

third Randy Shaw protest

From Nate Homes, SEIU shop steward at Tenderloin Housing Clinic

On July 30, 2009, I was informed by National Labor Relations Board agent that Randy Shaw is no longer willing to waive the time limitations in order to ensure that the arbitrator addresses the merits of the dispute. 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 - 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 ------ SEIU reputation for not representing members is nothing new -- I filed charges against SEIU 1021 last year for not representing me. It'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 '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 --- It"s a Shame. This is America --- we the people can no longer let these racist thugs and union busters violate our rights and stand by --- doing Nothing. Randy Shaw and SEIU 1021 WILL BE EXPOSED, THEY MUST DO THE RIGHT THING OR LEAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

A pattern is emerging where Randy Shaw is missing when these protests happen. The first part of the video shows Nate Holmes having a chat with current Tenderloin Housing Clinic senior property manager James Holland, who himself was promoted by Randy Shaw after a whole slew of senior management were fired after the last big scandal. Randy Shaw denied there ever was a problem at the Mission hotel, but never explained why so many senior management staff were fired after that article came out
