DESCRIPTION:6/21 SF Transit Workers Rally At City Hall\n\nJoin your fellow 
 Operators\n\nJoin with Passengers\n\nJoin with Cabbies\n\nRally and Speak 
 Out\n\nDate:Tues June 21, 2011\nPlace: S.F. City Hall, Polk St side \nTime: 
 12:30pm to 2pm , before the SFMTA Meeting\n\n\nWe are fed up.  We want 
 respect, health & safety for ourselves and for our passengers. \n\nWe want 
 true collective bargaining without a gun to our head.\n\nØ      Operators 
 protest MTA plans to dismantle MUNI as a public service.\n\nØ      
 Operators are protesting the health and safety emergency at SF Muni. \n\nØ 
      The MTA imposed a Mou which destroys our livelihood & cuts 
 service.\n\n \nOperators are joining the Taxi Cab Drivers.  They  are 
 organizing a strike and rally against the MTA.\n\nØ      The MTA imposes 
 regulations on Cab drivers which destroy their livelihood.\n\n \nMUNI 
 management puts safety, safe equipment, & schedules on the back seat of the 
 bus to balance the Budget.\n\nØ      Unsafe equipment leaves the yard 
 every day.\n\nØ      This MOU allows MUNI management to blame drivers for 
 Management’s failures.\n\nØ      The MTA is cutting service, raising 
 fares and endangering the passenger safety.\n\nØ      Full time jobs mean 
 full time service.  Part-time jobs are a service cut to mid-day 
 service.\n\n \nREVENUE IS THE PROBLEM AT THE MTA,\n\nNOT OPERATORS OR 
 CABBIES\n\nØ       The MTA has a revenue problem caused by Big Business 
 which is concentrated in the SF Downtown Area & Mission Bay Development.   
 They do not pay their fare share in taxes and transit fees but they receive 
 great benefit from the service.\n\nØ       MTA is attacking the cab 
 drivers for the same reason as they attack the MUNI operators & City 
 workers.  The MTA is set up to pass costs onto the individual cabbie rather 
 than make the Big Corporations pay taxes and fees.\n\nØ       Don’t 
 balance the budget of the backs of Drivers, City Workers, Riders or 
 Cabbies.\n\n \nTHERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “SHARED” SACRIFICE”-THEY 
 TAKE IT ALL!\n\nHOW MANY OPERATORS GET FIRED AND LEAVE WITH 
 $384,000\n\nOperators’ Organizing Committee\n
