SF City Laborers Protest Corruption & Layoffs
Dozens of San Francisco city laborers who are members of LIUNA Local 261 protested at the Department of Public Works at their illegal layoffs, nepotism and corruption by the management of the DPW. They also were angry at the silence of SF Mayor Gavin Newsom. 9 min. 27 MB
Dear friends and allies,
La Raza Centro Legal is currently assisting about 40 general laborers who previously worked for the SF Department of Public Works (DPW) and who unfairly, and illegally, lost their jobs due to corruption and nepotism in the Department.
These workers, predominantly African-American, Latino and Asian, and who worked as street cleaners, are holding a press conference and protest on Tuesday, February 22, 2005, 11 am to 12 noon, at DPW, 875 Stevenson St., San
Francisco. Please join them!!
Among other things, the workers are demanding that they be reinstated to their jobs with full seniority, that the City conduct an investigation of
the 7514 General Laborers Civil Service Exam, and that the City investigate
Deputy Director Mohammad Nuru's involvement with the firings. Mayor Gavin Newsom has so far refused to meet with the workers.
La Raza is working with the Laborers' Union on this case.
WHAT: Support DPW workers who were fired due to corruption and nepotism in
the Department!
WHEN: Tuesday, February 22, 11 am.
WHERE: 875 Stevenson St., San Francisco
For more information, please call Genevie Gallegos at (415) 553-3409, or
Renee Saucedo at (415) 553-3404.
