 Lawsuit Costs Just a 
 Coincidence?\n\nhttps://www.change.org/p/cheryl-thornton-it-stime-formickitogo-are-callahan-s-tenure-and-lawsuit-costs-just-a-coincidence\n\nDear 
 Mayor London Breed,\n\nOn September 19, 2018 of this year with your 
 support, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors held an audit hearing on 
 the issue of racial discrimination in the City and County of San Francisco. 
 Dozens of African Americans and other workers testified that they had been 
 bullied, harassed and illegally discriminated against over decades in San 
 Francisco. Many of these workers are still fighting to get their jobs back 
 and the City and County has spend over $70 million dollars on settlements 
 to workers, their lawyers the lawyers employed by the City and County for 
 illegal discrimination cases.\n\nThere will be a follow-up hearing on 
 November 27, 2018. What these many cases showed is that there is a pattern 
 of racial discrimination and even physical violence against African 
 American workers and other workers by managers and that top City managers 
 including Human Rights Director Micki Callahan have participated in this 
 discrimination. Callahan in fact was cited personally by many workers for 
 supporting the illegal actions against them and participating in a systemic 
 pattern of racial discrimination.\n\nThe Human Resources Director also 
 admitted that there was discriminatory actions including terminations and 
 failure to make probation against African SF City workers by managers far 
 more than their numbers in the workforce. This continues in the City and 
 County of San Francisco.\n\nAdditionally, when managers as well as all city 
 workers clearly and seriously violate human and civil rights under City, 
 State and Federal rules and regulations they must be held accountable. 
 Failure to hold such workers and managers accountable means that the City 
 is accepting such conduct and indeed supporting such conduct and many of 
 the managers and executives who engaged in illegal actions against City 
 workers including corruption were not only not held accountable but were 
 actually promoted by Micki Callahan. This is unacceptable and cannot 
 continue. Everyone is equal under the law and the failure to hold these 
 officials accountable needs to end.\n\nWe believe that the City must act 
 now to remove Human Resources Director Micki Callahan immediately. This 
 will provide an important message to all managers of the City and County of 
 San Francisco that these actions are unacceptable and top officials will be 
 held accountable for such actions.\n\nWe urge to act on this so these 
 issues can be addressed forthwith.\n\nSincerely,\nUnited Public Workers For 
 Action\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2018/11/21/18819305.php
