Discrimination and Retaliation Lawsuit @ Randy Shaw's Tenderloin Housing H

It has been about four years since Nathaniel was fired, I believe he was single out by management because we as union members we signed a petition about unfair labor practices here at THC and Mr. Holmes was the only one fired by Shaw because Nathaniel complained about racism and filed grievances at THC. SEIU1021 as usual did nothing to help. I would like some information also even though I know it takes years for employment lawsuits to be resolved. Good luck to Mr. Holmes!!

This case is presently pending in the Ninth Circuit court of Appeals.

Workers at THC owe Nate Holmes because we failed to even be concerned about him being wrongly terminated by Randy. We were intimidated by management's memo not to even speak to Nate and turned our backs on him in his time of distress. I hope that this court of appeals will protect his constitutional rights that have been violated. I know that Nate have a long list of witnesses to come to his defense and I wish him and his family well.

To get an update on Nate's case call 415- 355-8000 and give case # 11-16988.

SEIU1021 should have never let this termination take place. Over 50 union members signed a petition about unfair employment practices of Randy Shaw and yet only one person, Nathaniel Holmes was terminated. BIG TIME DISCRIMINATION AT TENDERLOIN CLINIC !!

Thanks Craig for asking about this case. Let's face the facts - Nate Holmes was fired because he called out Randy Shaw's Jim Crow practices at Tenderloin Housing, filed grievances about racist practices by supervisors and complained about racism from co - workers and SEIU1021 union reps. Mr. Shaw wants to be known as a progressive or some sort of so called power broker. Nate pissed Shaw off and that is what the new racism is all about - denying that racism exists. I wish Mr. Holmes the best in pursuing his constitutional rights.

Title Vl of the Civil Rights Rights Act (1964) states that " No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation, be denied the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receing Federal financial assistance.

Thanks to the people at blouz.com for the info about how the BOS seems to do nothing for workers rights violations. This case is very important to non profit workers especially in light that the union reps did nothing to represent. I work at Community Housing Partnership, we have the same union SEIU 1021, they only collect dues without representation. This case should definitely go to trail. Discrimination, retaliation, single out discipline should be decided in court.

While I do believe that Randy Shaw abused his authority in firing Nate for complaining about the racist employment practices. I hope that the court of appeals will secure his constitutional rights and have a trial.

SEIU 1021 and Randy Shaw's cozy relationship has caused more problems for workers at THC because the so union reps will not fight against Shaw and the Shop Stewards at THC are not trained to deal with management. I am so happy to be away from THC. I only hope that Nate Holmes be a winner in his lawsuit -- it will be a victory for all non-profits workers - union or no union.

Nate Holmes got fired for complaining about unfair labor practices at THC. Fifty union members signed a letter complaining about Randy Shaw's dealing with grievances and other employment practices that we knew were wrong. Nate Holmes was single out by management for termination - SEIU 1021 did nothing. My two cents!!

Ways and action at THC speaks volume. The Human Resources Director at THC needs to be made aware of labor laws, not mob rules justice!! Good luck to the workers!!``

Did Mr. Holmes attorney investigate Tenderloin Housing Clinic ? Did the attorney get a deposition from SEIU 1021, What about the deposition from Krista Gaeta? Randy Shaw? and other parties to this lawsuit. I wish Nate the best in getting justice.

SEIU 1021 a white klannish union has shown itself to be on Randy Shaw side in not defending Nate Holmes. Shaw and his conduct has continued to be ignored by the so called leaders of sf. I believe that justice will prevail for Mr. Nate, in the Ninth Circuit. Just a peek at evidence presented shows a framework of retaliation by THC.
