Well, the times are about to be changing at SEIU 1021. The winning slate will not be content rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic; this is a veteran group that knows that SEIU 1021’s success requires bottom-up, democratic unionism, and it will not deviate from its mission to empower workers. (Disclosure: Both newly-elected President Sanchez and Political Action Chair Alexander are employees of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, which I head and is the publisher of Beyond Chron)."

§Tenderloin Housing Clinic Workers Pitiful Plight
by Tenderloin Housing Clinic Shop Steward
Workers at Tenderloin Housing Clinic are being abused in the workplace by tenants and absolutely nothing is being addressed by management nor the SEIU1021 union reps. So called union reps A. Alexander and Roxanne Sanchez are given special treatment while workers pay dues -only to get insulted.

Tenderloin Housing Clinic"s workers are afraid to speak up for fear of retaliation and losing job - even though we have a union that continues to protect the Director Randy Shaw and sweep unfair labor and discriminatory practices under the rug. One worker was spit on at the Hartland Hotel and transferred to another site and yet another worker was jumped on at the Seneca Hotel and nothing was done about it. The time has come to take this matter to the board of supervisors or Human Services to resolve.
