WorkWeek On SF Housing With Dean Preston, ILWU Port Safety & UCSF AFSCME Cancer Cluster
WorkWeek interviews SF Supervisor Dean Preston about the housing crisis and the fight against evictions. Next WorkWeek hears about UAW auto worker wildcats over the failure to protect the health and safety of auto workers. We interview UAW 551 Chicago Ford worker Scott Houldierson.
Next WorkWeek hears about the conditions of Bay Area Longshore workers who are members of ILWU Local 10 with Trent Willis, president of the Local.
Last, WorkWeek interviews Stella Miranda, the wife of a UCSF AFSCME 3299 worker whose worksite was on radioactive contaminated land at the Hunters Point shipyard.
She talks about what happened to her husband and eight other workers at UCSF who were sickened from contamination from the site. She reports that UCSF management knew about the contamination and covered it as well as refusing to pay the healthcare needs of her husband.
Not only have AFSCME 3299 members been contaminated at Hunters Point but UPTE members who worked at the radioactive site.

WorkWeek on 3-19-20 looks at the SF housing crisis with Dean Preston, BA ILWU port safety with ILWU Local 10 president Trent Willis and the contamination of UCSF AFSCME 3299 workers at Hunters Point where they have gotten cancer and other diseases.
WorkWeek interviews SF Supervisor Dean Preston about the growing health and housing crisis in San Francisco and his proposals to house homeless in unused condos.
He also discusses the immediate need for Medicare for all.
Next, WorkWeek hears about the struggle of the ILWU Longshoreman for health and safety protection at the port and the conditions of the crew of the Grand Princess which was in Oakland and now sits off contaminated Hunters Point.
The contaminated ship still has over 300 crew members. We hear from Terry Valen who is president of National Alliance for Filipino Concerns (NAFCON) and Trent Willis, president of ILWU Local 10. Trent talks about the refusal of the PMA and SSA to properly clean their work locations which could lead to their members becoming contaminated with COVID-19 and contaminating their families and community.
Last, WorkWeek talks with Stella Miranda, the wife of a UCSF AFSCME 3299 gardener and maintenance worker who has been contaminated from the radioactive Hunters Point Naval shipyard.
He and eight other workers including workers who are members of UPTE have all worked at the site and become sickened by the contamination. She has contacted the UCSF Chancellor, Cal-OSHA and Governor Newsom to protect her husband and other workers.
She reports that her husband was coerced to retire and now has been rejected for workers compensation.
The UCSF management is aware of the contamination at UCSF but refused to warn the workers of the dangers and now is fighting to take responsibility of their serious health illness due to the toxins and radioactivity at the site.
