DESCRIPTION:Dear friends and allies,\n\nApproximately two years ago, the City and 
 County of San Francisco, and\nspecifically Mayor Newsom, instructed the 
 Department of Public Works (DPW)\nto establish a new category of laborers, 
 recruited from neighborhoods like\nthe Fillmore and Bayview/Hunters Point, 
 to clean city streets.  DPW then\nfired dozens of San Francisco workers, 
 most of them from those same\nneighborhoods of the Fillmore and 
 Bayview/Hunters Point, to hire new workers\nat one-half the wage.  Many of 
 the laid-off workers were categorized as\n"provisional workers," even 
 though they had worked for DPW for three, eight,\nor more years.\n\nDue to 
 the courageous organizing of these DPW workers, and with the support\nof 
 the SF Labor Council and others, most of these workers have 
 been\nre-instated to city jobs.\n\nBut eleven of the laid-off DPW workers 
 remain without their jobs!  The Mayor\nrefuses to meet with them, the Board 
 of Supervisors is no longer advocating\nfor them.\n\nThe laid-off DPW 
 workers and their allies will be holding a week-long hunger\nstrike in 
 front of SF City Hall, beginning August 21 at 8 am, and ending on\nAugust 
 25 at 5:00 pm.  They need your support!  Stop union-busting in 
 San\nFrancisco!\n\nINJUSTICE TO ONE WORKER IS AN INJUSTICE TO ALL 
 WORKERS!\nTHE DPW WORKERS WILL CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE UNTIL EVERY SINGLE 
 WORKER IS PUT\nBACK TO WORK!\n\nWHAT:  Week-long hunger strike and vigil; 
 Press Conference on Monday, August\n21, 10 am, Front steps of City 
 Hall.\nWHERE:  SF City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Pl.\nWHEN:  Monday, 
 August 21, 8 am to Friday, August 25, 5 pm.  (Permits\nacquired for daytime 
 hours only)\n\nFor more information, call Renee Saucedo, (415) 
 553-3404.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/08/14/18297301.php
