Host contact info Shahid will be joining us from 4:30-6pm.
Speak out against discriminatory and dangerous working conditions!
Join up with workers who are organizing against racism and sexism in hiring and on the job, unsafe worksites, and the abuse of at-will employees. Meet and support San Francisco city workers, teachers, and other Bay Area public and private sector employees, who are fighting to improve their working conditions.
Protest the City’s anti-worker and pro-privatization agenda that is fueling the direct gentrification in our communities. Share your experience and ideas on how to fight back against bigoted bosses, impunity, harassment, and abusive negligent management. Stand up against hostile and unsafe workplaces which can affect everything from the ability to provide vital services to the quality of the water we drink.
——————————
Our demands:
- We demand accountability and an end to racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, hiring practices!
- We demand the end to the mistreatment of workers; unsafe working conditions, and at-will (temporary status) employment which is being used discriminatorily and exploitatively especially against women, people of color, and immigrants!
- We demand to keep our public utilities and services public; to have more permanent civil service positions and quotas for how they are filled!
- We demand to stop privatization of public resources and jobs!
