The fact that he did not recuse himself should be cause for his removal and the support of his action by Governor Newsom shows the role of our governor and who he works for.\nThe CPUC has kowtowed to Cruise and the rest of these AI Robo-taxi companies as has the DMV. Newsom’s DMV has not only allowed the Robo taxis to self regulate their operations but has allowed Musk to operate the autopilot on Tesla’s as it tests it AI on the public as guinea pigs. The deaths of pedestrians, passengers and drivers is a direct result of the corporate capture of these agencies.\nThe CPUC has shown again and again with criminal PG&E and other corporations that it is a tool of the corporations that it is supposed to regulate. Under Governor Gavin Newsom and former Governor Jerry Brown this agency commissioners has take money from these regulated companies and do their bidding.\n\nSF District Attorney Brook Jenkins also refuses to prosecute the criminal cover-up of the Cruise incident in November where Cruise ran over an injured pedestrian. She like Newsom is apparently doing damage control to these corporate criminals who run Cruise. If a driver tried to cover up an accident he or she would be arrested but apparently these execs are above the law for Jenkins.\n\nCPUC hearing is scheduled for 11:00 AM and speakers will address the CPUC\n\n\nInitiated by\nUnited Front Committee For A Labor Party\nwww.ufclp.org\ninfo@ufclp.org\nEndorsed Alliance For Independent Workers\n\nGM Cruise Worker Rodrigo Sandoval Speaks Out On Robo Taxis & Execs: Threat To Workers & The People!\nhttps://youtu.be/bj4dq7Erbks\nAt a rally on 9/30/23 for striking UAW GM, Ford and Stellantis auto workers in San Francisco, former GM Cruise worker Rodrigo Sandoval talked about his work at GM Cruise and the anti-labor union tactics of this company.
