SUMMARY:Panel - Workplace Racism\, Hanging Nooses and Fightback
DESCRIPTION:The escalation of open racist attacks is happening not only in our communities but on our jobs. There is a national epidemic of “hanging nooses” and workplace bullying to terrorize African American workers and other workers on the job. At the same time there is systemic racial discrimination in many industries and in the City and County of San Francisco. This forum will look at these incidents and also why these are not isolated. Panelists will also look at how workers can educate their fellow workers about stopping these attacks and how to organize a national fight-back.\nSpeakers:\nBrenda Barros\, SEIU 1021 SF General Hospital Chapter Chair and Co-Chair COPE\nStacie Rodgers\, ILWU Local 10 rank-and-file member\nDaryle Washington\, former SF Recology worker & driver\nCheryl Thornton\, SEIU 1021 Potrero Hill Health Center\nSponsored by United Public Workers For Action\nwww.upwa.info

SUMMARY:Workers Rights\, Workers Lives\, Organizing in Silicon Valley
DESCRIPTION:Millions of workers have come to the Bay Area and Silicon Valley to work and live. The conference will hear from workers who are fighting for union and worker rights in Silicon valley from service workers to tech workers. While billionaires are being made every year in Silicon valley the workers who make their money are facing extreme economic hardship\, struggling to survive. The unionization of thousands of contract workers at companies such as Google\, Apple\, and Facebook has raised their living conditions but the massive housing crisis and inability for workers to live in Silicon Valley forces workers into their cars\, spending hours commuting on the road. At the same time the racist attack on immigrant workers\, including in Silicon Valley\, is harming not just service workers but immigrants from throughout the world who now work in the Valley. Discrimination against their wives and families is escalating as xenophobia grows. We will hear as well about how tech workers are working with service workers to defend union and immigrant rights\, and joining in solidarity.\nInitial Speakers:\nRebeca Armendariz\, SEIU-USWW Senior Community Political Organizer\nMehmet Bayron\, Software exploitation and automation of tech workers\nBob Emmett\, SEIU-USWW security guard\nEdward Escobar\, The Alliance for Independent Workers\nMaria Noel Fernandez\, Deputy Executive Director\, Working Partnerships USA\nMaria Gonzalez\, Tech worker who was sexually assaulted at work\nAmanda Hawes\, Founder of SCCOSH and legal advocate for electronics workers and their children harmed by workplace toxics\nKarthik Ramanathan\, Immigrant Tech Worker\nRuth Silver Taube\, Labor and Human Rights Lawyer\, Santa Clara County Wage Theft Coalition \nTentative Program\n9:30 AM Registration\n10:00 AM Conference Opens\nThe Struggles For Service Workers In Silicon Valley\n12:00 Lunch\n1:00 PM\nHuman Rights And Silicon Valley-The Attack on Immigrant Workers\n2:00 PM\nTech Workers\, Tech Billionaires And The Future of Work\n3:30 PM\nProposals For Action\, Solidarity and Unity\n4:00 PM Conference Closes \nSponsored by:\nSanta Clara County Wage Theft Coalition\, LaborNet.org\, LaborTech.net\, LaborFest.\nContact for conference: (408) 621-5678\, (415) 533-5942 \nDownload PDF Flyer \nKorean Oracle Workers Strike & Struggle for Justice/Fighting Cyber-serfdom \n
