This is what democracy looks like, in a democratic party machine city Alright so there is this non profit, (san francisco league of urban gardeners) and there is this agency, (Department of Public Works). Together, they conspired to do the democratic party machine's work to elect Gavin Newscum. This is probably just the tip of the iceberge, I wonder how many of the pro-newscum union bosses forced their rank'n file members to work for the campaign.

Southern California — Grocery workers defending your health care Health care is perhaps the most life-and-death human rights crisis in America. The unchecked greed of the insurance and pharmaceutical monopoly empires has driven health care costs sky-high. Union-negotiated health care plans are about all that stands between you (if you’re lucky enough to have a job and health insurance) and an end to employer-paid or partially-paid health care coverage....

More Pictures From Rally At Castro Safeway 
More than 70,000 UFCW members in Southern California are taking a stand against corporate greed. Forced to fight by supermarket giants demanding wholesale cuts in health benefits that would leave current workers unable to pay for their care—and effectively leave future employees without any health care coverage at all--workers from seven locals voted over 90% to reject the offer by three of the largest supermarket operators in the country, Von's (Safeway-owned), Ralph's (Kroger-owned) and Alb...
