DESCRIPTION:SF RALLY March 23 (Wedensday) 3:00 PM In front of SF City Hall\n\nStop 
 Privatization, Union Busting And Outsourcing\n\nIn SF & California\nWorking 
 People Need a Democratic Trade Union Movement & A Labor Party That Fights 
 For Justice and Human Rights\n\n The City and County of San Francisco is 
 spending hun- dreds of millions of dollars outsourcing public jobs to 
 consultants, companies and privately run profits. At the same time, the 
 Mayor and Department of Human Re- sources DHR has instituted a hiring 
 freeze of permanent employees even before the pandemic.\n\nWorkers who have 
 medical exemptions are also being terminated by the City, while the City 
 refuses to have regular testing of all workers in Muni, DPH, and oth- er 
 departments. We demand an end of these retaliatory firings and for the 
 unions to demand that they be halted by workers’ action.\n\nThe pandemic 
 has also been used to replace public workers with lower paid workers and 
 temporary work- ers with less pay and benefits. Private outfits like state 
 wide Healthright 360 which is siphoning off thousands of patients is 
 destroying public jobs. If you do public work, you should be a public 
 worker. This should not be supported by our unions. This is union busting 
 and an unfair labor practice. Our unions need to file unfair labor practice 
 complaints and take direct action to stop these attacks.\n\nThe City has 
 also failed to protect workers who have died from Covid like DPH worker 
 Ludwig Leota who had an underlying health condition and was sent back to 
 work by managers leading to his death. Unfortunately, the SEIU 1021 
 leadership has not defended their members in the middle of the pandemic and 
 that is a reason that members like Ludwig Leota have died.\n\nThere needs 
 to be a united political education campaign against privatization of public 
 services, public education and against outsourcing jobs to get rid of 
 unions. We need to stop the shutdown of public schools in SF while we have 
 more than 80 billionaires in San Francisco and 189 in California. They must 
 pay for public education. They want to sell the schools and public 
 locations like Balboa Reservoir to the developers for more million-dollar 
 condos. Instead, we need working class housing for our members and all 
 working people. This is also an ethnic gentrification kicking out Blacks, 
 Browns, and Indigenous people from San Francisco.\n\nWE need a city charter 
 amendment and state constitu- tional clause that prohibits the 
 privatization and out- sourcing of public jobs by the City and State of 
 California. The billionaires run the City/County and State, and they 
 control the politicians who are allowing this outsourcing and 
 privatization. These billionaires like John Fisher, the owner of GAP and 
 the A’s is also trying to privatize the Howard Terminal for a stadium and 
 development project with 3,000 million dollar condos. This is supported by 
 Newsom & the Democrats in the legislature including those in SF. They are 
 also supporting Amazon building more non-union warehouses.\n\nWe need 
 united action, and for all workers to go out together linking our 
 struggles. It is time to unite with all working people and the oppressed to 
 run labor community slates for all positions and build a democratic labor 
 party in San Francisco, California, and the US.\nThe Time Is NOW For 
 Working People To Fight Back and Win Power.\nAn Injury To One Is An Injury 
 To All!\n\n\nSponsored by United Front Committee For A Labor 
 Party\n\nwww.ufclp.org, info@ufclp.org \n
