Tump has announced he will round up 2 to 3 million immigrant workers and they have plans to privatize all public services and destroy organized labor. He is already appointing neo-facists, anti-semites and racists like Stephen K. Bannon to top positions. This is a dangerous situation for all working people in the US and around the world. Charter privatizers and union busters are also on a rampage to total destroy public education, the post office and the question is where are our unions and the labor movement?\nThis forum will report on the what happened in the election and what working people and the unions need to do to defend ourselves including protecting public services, stopping privatization and defending against the epidemic of racist attacks on African Americans, Latinos, Muslims, native Amerians and Asians.\n\nFor more information\nUnited Public Workers For Action\nwww.upwa.info\n(415)282-1908\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.

Workers also discussed racist incidents on the job and the role this playing in harassment and bullying.\nAlso a statement was read by Federal OSHA investigator and lawyer Darrell Whitman who was investigating retaliation against whistleblowers at the Whistleblower Protection Program and he and other AFGE union members were bullied and fired for trying to do their jobs. He also tried to handle the cases of bullied Wells Fargo workers but the agency refused to investigate and defend Wells Fargo workers.\nThe event was endorsed by SEIU 1021 San Francisco COPE, Stop Work Place Bullying Group, United Public Workers For Action and Bullyfree Workplace.\nFor more information\nwww.stopworkplacebullyinggroup.org\nwww.bullyfreeworkplace.org\nwww.healthyworkplacebill.org\nwww.upwa.info\nProduction of Labor Video Project\nwww.laborvideo.org\n\nUnited Teachers Of Richmond UTR Opposes Charters & Privatization Including Beller Caliber Charter School\nhttps://youtu.be/FUER2mOFzEU\nThe NEA CTA United Teachers Of Richmond has voted to oppose charters and privatization and will be organizing an education campaign in Richmond and nationally to fight the destruction of public education.
