SF Nov Election: No on Anti-labor Prop D

Proposition D, the Small Business Commission proposition on the November 4, 2003 San Francisco election, is clearly a union-busting, anti-labor proposition and should be defeated soundly.

Small business, which is defined as employing less than 100 people, is by definition the worst environment for labor organizing as the small capitalists cannot or will not pay the kind of wages and benefits that we need to leave decently in San Francisco.

Anyone who claims to support labor should never support business as all businesses derive their profits from the exploitation of labor. That is to say, profits are our stolen labor as they are the surplus value we create but do not receive.

In San Francisco, about 50% of the jobs are provided by small business, which means the other 50% are provided by government and big business, both of which are far better for labor organizing, and with government being preferable as it is non-profit by definition.

The fact that 99 workers employed by one business is considered a small business means we have lots of falsely-labeled small businesses trying to wiggle out of the pro-labor requirements imposed upon big business and government.

Thus, your No vote on Prop D is required.
