This company has a major contract with the City and County of San Francisco to collect garbage.\n\nWhen this incident took place, Daryle Washington a IBT 350 Recology worker made a complaint to management and they refused to take action. Another incident also took place where a worker threw a copy of Jet magazine at an African American worker.\n\nThere has been an epidemic of hanging noose inci- dents throughout the country and also in San Francisco from SFO and the South East Sewage Plant to UCSF. These terrorist acts must be stopped.\n\nDaryle went to his union and asked that they take action to stop these incidents yet his local union leadership not only have taken no action but have refused to publicize that these actions are unacceptable.\n\nAll working people need to stand up to stop these racist incidents and our unions must take the lead to make it clear that racism terrorist incidents will not be tolerated in the workplace. This is combined with the workplace bullying against workers on the job forcing many workers onto workers comp and disability.\n\nDaryle Washington has also informed the City officials of San Francisco about this incident and yet they are completely silent despite Recology being a major contractor with the city.\n\nIt is time to make it clear that these acts must stop. On Monday September 21, 2015, there will be a press conference and rally in front of the Recology facility for justice and human rights. You are invited to support this rally and speak out not only about this incident but others that are happening every day. Also get your union and organization to support this action.
