SUMMARY:Stop AI Exploitation of Drivers
DESCRIPTION:(Action Notice)\nLINK to this event – UBER Stop Using AI To Impose Slave Labor Conditions! Gig Drivers Rally & March to UBER HQ In SF \nWhere: 74 Mission Rock St\, at parking lot A & Pier 48\, San Francisco\nTime: July 1\, 10:30 AM \nDeactivations cost drivers our livelihoods — and our lives. Activate Respect is a nationwide campaign from an alliance of drivers and organizers around the country. Drivers from across the country are joining together to win new rules about when Uber can cut drivers off from their jobs. To succeed in the mission\, they are demanding transparency in deactivation decisions\, fairness through non-discriminatory treatment\, and valid options available for appealing deactivations. They have won new laws and forced Uber to acknowledge safety issues\, but they know they have more power when they fight together. \nEveryone – including people who work on apps like Uber\, Lyft\, DoorDash\, and Instacart – should have a living wage\, transparency on the job\, safe conditions and a voice in your work. \nGig corporations leave workers like you entirely on your own\, grinding to make ends meet. You have to figure out the apps and their different algorithms\, pay for your own gas\, spend hours waiting for the next ride or batch. If you have a problem on the job\, these corporations are nowhere to be found. \nCEOs are making millions because of the work you do\, while you are left struggling to pay the bills. \nIt doesn’t have to be this way. Everyone deserves to earn enough to build a good life and the freedom to have and enjoy time off the job. \nThese corporations can (and do) ignore individual drivers. But they can’t ignore us all. \nThis action is organized by: Gig Workers Rising \n

SUMMARY:Public Workers Privatization\, Outsourcing & Union Busting
DESCRIPTION:(Zoom event)\nThe implementation of Trump’s Project 2025 is a frontal attack particularly on public service and public unions.\nThe privatization of public services however did not start with Trump and the Republicans. The contracting out of public services to so called “non-profits” has been going on for decades. This panel will look at how privatizing is dividing unions and pitting public workers against non-profit workers. It will also look at how this is affecting San Francisco City Workers. \nSpeakers:\nBrenda Barros\, SEIU 1021 SF General Hospital chapter president\nCheryl Thornton\, SEIU 1021 San Francisco Community Healthcare chapter president\nRobert Ovetz\, professor SJSU\, author of Elites: Why the US Constitution Serves the Few and When Workers Shot Back: Class Conflict from 1877 to 1921

SUMMARY:SF Mime Troupe - "DISRUPTION"
DESCRIPTION:SF Mime Troupe – DISRUPTION – A Musical Farce\nThe 66th summer season of San Francisco Mime Troupe’s musical \nThe SF Mime Troupe’s Working Class Culture\, Comedy & Actor’s Equity Playwright Michael Sullivan\nIn a city where nothing is more important than “innovation\,” son of immigrants Augie Dimalanta (Jed Parsario) works hard. His friend Elizabeth (Lizzie Calogero) may think patching over problems is counterrevolutionary\, but after his shift at the “Fried Thangs Diner” Augie’s life’s all about helping his neighbors navigate an increasingly underfunded and inhuman system. \nHis efforts to make up for the cuts are making a real difference\, but at what point does he need to stop plugging the holes in the system and try to change it instead? And while Augie is filling holes\, tech genius Zubari Macintosh (Alicia M.P. Nelson) is busy digging more! As the head of MOPS (The Mayor’s Office of Public Safety) she’s all about optimization and “efficiency\,” making a city attractive to investors and the right kind of people – and who wouldn’t want that? \nNever mind that she has no experience beyond developing a social media app – how hard can government be? Maybe the only real barrier to giving the people what they really want all this time has been the inefficiency of democracy itself. And with proudly working-class\, red-hatted police officers like Hector Washington (Michael Gene Sullivan) to clear the streets\, San Francisco will soon be a beautiful and prosperous suburb of Silicon Valley – and hopefully in time for the president’s upcoming visit. But if the city is poised to be a calm\, efficient paradise why is everything suddenly on… FIRE!

SUMMARY:Bloody Thursday Walk – By Gifford Hartman
DESCRIPTION:Meet at Harry Bridges Plaza south side Tower – Embarcadero at Market St.\, SF \nWalk with Gifford Hartman (about 2 hours) \nNinety-one years ago (1934)\, a great battle took place between striking workers and the police and National Guard along the waterfront alongside the piers of San Francisco’s Embarcadero. We will look at the causes of the 1934 General Strike\, why it was successful\, and how the issues from that strike are still relevant to working class people today. The current movement against police murder of black and brown people can draw lessons from the way strikers invited black workers into their ranks to prevent racist exclusion from breaking their strike. We explain how an 83-day West Coast Waterfront Strike exploded into the 4-day General Strike that paralyzed all commerce in San Francisco. This tour will visit the sites of those events.

SUMMARY:Labor History Bike Tour – by Chris Carlsson of Shaping San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Tour starts at 518 Valencia St. near 16th St. (about 4 hours of tour)\nTour ends at Spear and Market. \nLabor History Bike Tour by Chris Carlsson (Shaping San Francisco)\nFrom the pre-urban history of Indian Slavery to the earliest 8-hour day movement in the U.S.\, the ebb and flow of class war is traced. SF’s radical working-class organizations are shaped in part by racist complicity in genocide and slavery\, but from the 1870s to the 1940s there are dozens of epic battles between owners and workers\, culminating in the 1934 General Strike and its aftermath. This is an entirely different look\, during a four-hour bike tour\, at San Francisco labor history. \nShaping San Francisco is asking for a donation of $25~$50.\n(Donation goes to Shaping San Francisco)\n(Limited capacity\, RSVP required. Please contact: shaping@foundsf.org\nFor more information: (415) 608-9035.\nRSVP required: shaping@foundsf.org

SUMMARY:Workers Health & Safety\, OSHA and Workers Compensation
DESCRIPTION:Labor Under Attack (Zoom event) \nThe destruction of OSHA and CA OSHA means more workers will die\, and the retaliation of workers for being whistleblowers is escalating. Cal OSHA is understaffed by 40% and is incapable of enforcing the health and safety laws on the books. This is also the case nationally where there are less than 2000 OSHA inspectors for 130 million workers.\nAt the same time\, millions of workers have been injured on the job and have suffered from a corrupt Workers Compensation system that benefits the insurance companies and bosses.\nThis panel will look at these attacks\, how workers and unions should do to defend their members. \nPanelists:\nAshley M. Gjøvik\, Apple Whistleblower\nBecky McClain\, Pfizer molecular biologist & whistleblower\nVina Colley\, OCAW Atomic Workers National Nuclear Workers for Justice/OSHA EPA\, Pres P.R.E.S.S./EEOICP Claimant Worker-National Advocate/Downwinder\, President of Portsmouth/Piketon Residents for\nEnvironmental Safety and Security (PRESS) Co-Founder of National Nuclear Workers for Justice (NNWJ) OCAW member

SUMMARY:Ending the Exploitation of Part-Time/Adjunct Professors in Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:(Zoom event)\nFor decades\, colleges and universities have been arranging for an increasing number of classes to be taught by job-insecure\, poorly compensated teachers; and not full-time well-compensated job secure tenured professors.  Why has this been happening? Who benefits/who is harmed? What has been the response of faculty unions? Are they acting to end two-tier contracts? What is the impact on students? The differences in the conditions of part-time/adjunct professors and tenured professors\, the fight against our two-tier system\, and an actual alternative will be discussed.  Following the panel will be time for audience questions and comments. \nPanelists\nAnn Robertson was a part-time contingent faculty member at San Francisco State University for four decades and is now emeritus. She continues to serve on the Executive Board of the faculty union\, the California Faculty Association\, and has spent years organizing contingent faculty.\nCarol Lang has been teaching history part-time for 15 years mostly at the City University of New York. She is a delegate in her union and has been actively fighting to improve the conditions of part-time faculty and facing resistance from her union leadership. She has fought for other issues that reflect her concern for the liberation of the working-class including divestment from weapons going to Palestine. \nFrank Cosco is a member of Vancouver Community College faculty union’s executive\, bargaining and steward groups in both leadership and member roles for over three decades.  He is currently President of the VCCFA. He has taught English as a Foreign and as an Additional Language in Vancouver\, Montreal\, Italy and Japan. \n Note: The Vancouver Community College faculty contract is a positive one-tier alternative to the two-tier conditions that will be discussed.\nRick Baum is a member of AFT 2121 and has been teaching Political Science part-time in numerous Bay Area colleges for over forty years. He has been active in struggles at City College of San Francisco.  \n
