San Francisco’s Labor Movement is Stuck in Neutral

For those of us who remember, and/or for those of us who have read the biography of Willie Brown by James Richardson, we know for sure that Willie Brown has always been a reactionary pro-real estate, anti-rent control, pro-gambling, anti-gay election frauding fascist thug who always sang the tune of the capitalist class. His legal defense of civil rights protesters in the 1960s was just a paycheck; he was never a civil rights, labor or peace movement leader or organizer. His anti-sodomy law, which passed in 1975, was the usual publicity stunt the Democrats use to get elected, and then carry out the same program as their twin party of capitalism, the Republicans, thereby keeping the Reds out of office, the sole reason the Democratic Party exists. It was the gay liberation movement, which came from our peace movement, that finally made possible legalizing being gay in 1975.

We witnessed his anti-gay actions as mayor when he framed a gay librarian on the usual anti-gay child molesting charges because this librarian circulated a petition protesting the working conditions at the new main library; these charges were eventually dropped but cost the gay librarian his job. We witnessed more anti-gay actions with Brown's defense of the Catholic Church which objected to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's (a group of gay men dressed as nuns) taking over Castro street in the predominately gay area known as the Castro on Easter Sunday for their version of an Easter Parade and festival, thereby violating his oath of office to uphold the Constitution, including the First Amendment mandating separation of Church and State.

Willie Brown was "selected" by election fraud for his second term as mayor in 1999, as the Brown Election Fraud Team, including the labor lieutenants of capitalism who supported him, committed the same election fraud and in mostly the same manner, to defeat a pro-rent control (the litmus test issue in local politics) Democrat, Tom Ammiano, as they did in the 49er Stadium Swindle Election of June 3, 1997, wherein we voted 70% against that theft of our tax dollars and public land and the registar recorded it as 50.2% "yes." When we brought a lawsuit to overturn the fraudulent results, Willie Brown's election fraud team murdered our chief witness, Delores Evans, a pollworker, and 5 children, in a fire in their Housing Authority home on December 13, 1997. The fire inspector told the Hearst Examiner they could have escaped but someone stopped them. Our election fraud website has is dedicated to Delores Evans and the 5 children who died for our right to vote, and has the full story of Willie Brown's election fraud at:

Willie Brown's election fraud team included the Housing Authority, Walden House, TURF, A. Phillip Randolph Institute, Glide Church and Cecil Williams, Third Baptist Church and Amos Brown, the San Francisco Democratic Party, the San Francisco Republican Party, the Chamber of Commerce, the San Francisco Police, and the labor lieutenants of capitalism who supported him.

This same gang of thugs committed the same election fraud to select the next Chamber of Commerce, anti-rent control, pro-war, pro-PATRIOT Act candidate, Democrat Gavin Newsom, in the 2003 election which Green Party pro-rent control candidate Matt Gonzalez, actually won.

It was with the second mayor's race of Willie Brown that the Democratic Party was kicked out of the workingclass voting areas of San Francisco as he won where the Chamber of Commerce candidates always win, in the predominately homeowner, wealthier areas of town including the West Side, and had to commit election fraud everywhere else to stay in office. The labor unions who campaigned for him in that election had to campaign among the wealthy homeowners which, of course, the leadership is, but not the members.

This myth of San Francisco as a union town has always been just that in the past 50 years or so. The fact is, the labor lieutenants of capitalism have always been the thugs of the capitalist class, acting against the interests of the workingclass. In the private sector, very little is unionized. So long as there is no serious labor organizing, there is no political strength of labor unions. So long as the labor unions support Democrats and stadium swindles, they do not represent labor, but rather capital. It was the Green Party and the socialist Peace and Freedom Party that opposed both the baseball stadium swindle of 1996 and the football stadium swindle of 1997, and they oppose all the stadium swindles.

Just who are the lieutenants of capitalism referred to here? Wouldn't it be good to give some examples of who these people are (if they exist)? What unions are they the 'lieutenants' of and are they still in power?

Are they SEIU? Teamsters? Building Trades? HERE? ILWU?

enquiring minds want to know...

The labor lieutenants of capitalism are all those labor officials who support the Democratic Party, the twin party of the capitalist Republican Party, which only exists to keep the Reds out of office. Hence the occasional pro-labor rhetoric at election time to win the workingclass vote, and then once elected, they carry out the same agenda as the Republicans because they represent the same class and are funded by the same corporations as the Republicans. Specifically, to the subject matter, the labor lieutenants of capitalism are those labor officials who supported Willie Brown, the most vicious organized crime thug ever to sit in the mayor's office. PRACTICALLY ALL LABOR UNIONS AND LABOR UNION OFFICIALS SUPPORTED WILLIE BROWN THROUGHOUT HIS ENTIRE CAREER AS ASSEMBLYPERSON AND MAYOR. Brown was actively promoted as some kind of "liberal" when he was an outright fascist. By the time of Brown's second run for mayor in 1999, the workingclass of San Francisco had had enough of this thug and refused to vote for him. Tom Ammiano easily won; he was "defeated" by election fraud. Every single campaigner for Willie Brown in that election by definition is viciously reactionary, and at the top of the list is every single labor union official who supported Brown. The labor union phone banks were calling the West side of town, where the upper middle class homeowners live. They knew Brown did not represent the workingclass, and they campaigned for him anyway. Once again, I repeat, the blood of Delores Evans and 5 babies, murdered by Willie Brown's election fraud team on December 13, 1997, is on Willie Brown's hands. He even went there the next morning to survey the murder scene, clearly making sure our election fraud lawsuit could not proceed without this key witness, Delores Evans, a pollworker in the fraudulent 49er Stadium Swindle election of December 3, 1997, a campaign actively supported by the entire stinking rotten gang known as the labor lieutenants of capitalism. It is this gang that has allowed San Francisco to be mostly non-union; Chinatown to be completely non-union; union contracts that last for 5 years which are anti-labor by definition. Not only is Willie Brown guilty of perpetrating murder and election fraud, so is very single labor union official and every organization which supported the 49er Stadium Swindle.

One addition to the list of murderers in the previous post is the Nation of Islam, an outfit that has nothing to do with anything good and was a primary member of Willie Brown's election fraud team. At the top of the list of course was the Chamber of Commerce, that is, the ruling capitalist class.

I suggest you read the election fraud website carefully, from the dedication to everything else. I also suggest you read the Jonestown website carefully. Willie Brown and his entire stinking Democratic Party, including all labor union officials, actively supported the CIA agent, Jim Jones, who was brought here to destroy the political organizing that was taking place in the black community in the 1970s. Most of the children who were murdered in Guyana were kidnapped. The coroner in Guyana defined the 900 plus deaths as murder.

I REPEAT: EVERY SINGLE LABOR UNION OFFICIAL AND LABOR UNION THAT SUPPORTED WILLIE BROWN IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER ARE BY DEFINITION THE LABOR LIEUTENANTS OF CAPITALISM, and practically all of them did. FURTHER, EVERY SINGLE LABOR UNION OFFICIAL AND LABOR UNION THAT CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ARE THE LABOR LIEUTENANTS OF CAPITALISM, and they all do. Contrary to Randy Shaw's implicit statement, there has never been any labor movement in this town for at least 50 years, and over 45 of those years are within my memory.
