Nov. 16, 2016 at SF Federal Building\n\nWhereas, there has been a growing practice of workplace bullying against San Francisco postal workers, endangering their health and safety and impacting their families, and\n\nWhereas, workplace bullying is being used as part of a plan to privatize and destroy the Post Office and other public services, with the goal of eliminating public jobs, as well as to intimidate rank and file workers and as a union busting tactic. However, shop stewards, the front line of the unions, are in many cases putting up a determined resistance to these management abuses, and\n\nWhereas, NALC Local 214 Chief Steward Angela Bibb-Merritt has been issued an emergency suspension and notice of removal, for representing the members of her union and defending workers who have experienced workplace bullying. In addition, other NALC Local 214 shop stewards have been targeted for retaliation for their union activities, and\n\nWhereas, American Federation of Government Employees steward, SF Labor Council delegate, and OSHA Whistleblower Protection Program investigator Darrell Whitman has been targeted by management for his fight against workplace bullying at the agency, retaliated against for doing his job, and ultimately terminated by his employer, and\n\nWhereas, many workers at Wells Fargo bank reported being bullied by management and ordered to engage in fraudulent practices concerning customer bank accounts, and then being retaliated against or fired for resisting or refusing to engage in the fraudulent practices pushed by the bank, and\n\nWhereas, every worker has a right to a healthy and safe workplace, free of management abuse. \n\nTherefore be it resolved, that the San Francisco Labor Council calls on the San Francisco Postmaster to immediately drop the discipline and reinstate National Association of Letter Carriers #214 Chief Steward Angela Bibb-Merritt with full back pay, and\n\nBe it further resolved, that we support a solidarity rally and speak-out to demand reinstatement of Chief Steward Angela Bibb-Merritt, and to build resistance to workplace bullying in the Post Office and elsewhere. The rally will be held at 4:30 pm on Wed. Nov. 16, 2016 at the US Federal Building at 7th and Mission Streets, SF, and \n\nBe it finally resolved, that the SF Labor Council send letters to Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Senator Diane Feinstein and Senator Barbara Boxer, calling on them to write the SF postmaster to urge the reinstatement of NALC 214 Chief Steward Angela Bibb-Merritt, and to initiate Congressional and Senate hearings on the epidemic of workplace bullying against workers in the Post Office and other public agencies, as well as at private-sector work sites.\nSubmitted by National Association of Letter Carriers, Golden Gate Branch 214\n\n\nNALC214 SF Postal Workers Demand "Bring Back Angela" Stop The Workplace Bullying\nhttps://youtu.be/c8kw1kNB7Yc\nSan Francisco NALC 214 postal carriers and supporters on October 19, 2016 picketed the Evans St. USPO station to demand the immediate reinstatement of chief steward Angela Bibb-Merritt.
