Rehire Daz Lamparadas Now! Stop Discrimination & Union Busting by SEIU 1021 Management

by Labor Video Project
A rally was held on February 25, 2017 at SEIU 1021 offices in San Francisco to protest the discriminatory firing of long time union representative Daz Lamparadas. Lamparadas is challenging his discharge and charges that the SEIU 1021 management is violating union procedures and principles.

Workers from CWA 9404 and SEIU 1021 and supporters of fired union representative Daz Lamparadas rallied on February 25, 2017 at the San Francisco headquarters of SEIU 1021 to protest the discriminatory firing. Daz was fired when he was leaving for the death of his mother and the top union leadership ignored proper union procedures. Daz has filed discrimination lawsuit against the SEiU 1021 leadership.
The union management has also targeted African American leaders and senior staff members who have been without a contract since December 2016.
Many workers talked about the necessity of defending labor rights for all including staff workers. Also SEIU 1021 leaders from Oakland and San Francisco reported on how the local leadership is refusing to process grievances properly and allowing members to be victimized and harmed.
