DESCRIPTION:Stop Union Busting, Concession Bargaining, Privatization, & 
 Outsourcing-Defend Public Workers And Public Services \nSF 
 Speak-Out-Protest \nMonday February 7, 2011 \n1:30 PM (hearing to start at 
 2:00 PM) \nHundreds of San Francisco workers and their supporters will be 
 converging on SF City Hall on Monday February 7, 2011 at 2:00 PM to 
 speak-out and protest the blatant union busting attack on 26,000 San 
 Francisco workers. Former Democratic Party anti-labor mayor Newsom and his 
 handpicked replacement Ed Lee are illegally seeking to destroy city wide 
 bumping rights. The corrupt Department of Human Resources has ordered the 
 San Francisco Civil Service Commission to begin to set up rules to 
 eliminate city wide seniority despite the fact that it is against the rules 
 of the San Francisco City Charter which declares that the Mayor and his 
 agents cannot order city department to eliminate the merit and civil 
 service seniority. \n\nUnfortunately, SF city workers unions along with the 
 SF Labor Council unanimously voted to endorse and back union buster Gavin 
 Newsom at the very time his Department of Human Resources was conspiring to 
 destroy the civil service system and seniority rights for thousands of city 
 workers and after Newsom had threatened to lay off 17,000 city workers in 
 order to intimidate and coerce concessions from city workers. He and the 
 city bosses are also seeking to destroy the public worker pensions and 
 healthcare benefits for not only all city workers but retirees as well. 
 This support for these open union busters must end if labor is going to 
 start to protect itself. \n\nThis charter amendment was passed to protect 
 San Francisco from nepotism and corruption in the civil service system yet 
 these corporateers and privatizers are seeking to destroy the civil service 
 and merit system so they can contract out/outsource city services to their 
 corporate pals, relatives and the billionaires like Larry Ellison. \nSan 
 Francisco city workers from all unions will be speaking out about this 
 sneak attack on city workers and the need to protect city wide seniority 
 from this assault. \nJoin them and fight the concessionary bargaining, 
 give-back campaigns and political and racist attacks on SF TWU 250 A Muni 
 drivers and all SF City workers by these privatizers and \nunion busters. 
 \n\nThe city and the MTA have framed up SF TWU 250 A bus driver Dorian 
 Maxwell who went to OHSA over health and safety problems on the busses and 
 have also targeted IFPTE Local 21 Planners in order to intimidate and 
 terrorize all city workers and allow the destruction of the merit system 
 and privatization/Outsourcing of city services. \n\nAlso Support the March 
 2, 2011 Day Of Action To Defend Public Education and Public Services-Unite 
 The 1.5 Million Public Workers Of California \n\nIt is time to call a halt 
 to these attacks on public workers, public services and public education.
