DESCRIPTION:The Transport Workers Solidarity Committee calls for an end to concession 
 bargaining which is being pushed by many top union officials in San 
 Francisco and throughout the United States. The idea that unions can defend 
 the workers by giving up defined pensions for newly hired workers, allowing 
 two tiers and many other concessions is dangerous and a threat to all 
 working people. This trend must be reversed and Muni bus drivers are 
 leading the way. The San Francisco Labor Council leadership and the chair 
 of the Public Workers Committee Bob Muscat not only collaborated with the 
 union busting Democratic Mayor Gavin Newsom to make concessions but 
 demanded that TWU 250A Muni bus drivers make major concessions as part of 
 their "deal" with the politicians. \n\nSF TWU 250A muni drivers voted 
 concession down three times. YET, this same  union leadership refused to 
 fight Proposition G on the Nov 2010 ballot which eliminated protections and 
 benefits for SF Muni workers. The sellout union officials were angry that 
 the TWU 250A drivers had the backbone to say no more concessions. So they 
 joined with the Mayor and the union busters in their effort to blame the 
 drivers for the economic crisis.  At the same time we call for the defense 
 of SF TWU250A activists who have been targeted by the MTA management for 
 their defense against these concessions and against proposition G. We call 
 for all transit workers and all of labor to demand an end to the union 
 busting actions against these drivers and to launch a united defense 
 against concessions. \n\nOn November 26, 2010 at 9:00 AM at SF City Hall 
 there will be a protest to defend SF TWU 250A Drivers and to demand an end 
 to concession bargaining. Please join this rally. \nStatement of the
