SFLC Joins With Bosses & Pushes Reactionary Attack On SF City Workers and Retirees Prop C

by repost
The San Francisco Labor Council leadership without the support of any retiree organizations is supporting a reactionary attack on San Francisco public workers and retirees. SFLC Executive Director Tim Paulson and the SFLC Public Employee Committee chair Bob Muscat prevented all retirees and their organizations from participating in the "negotiations" and discussions with the bosses and billionaires. They call it "shared Sacrafice" but the billionaires who pushed this are getting tax cuts and subsidies.

SFLC Joins With Bosses And Pushes Reactionary Attack On SF City Workers and Retirees Prop C - Calls It "Shared Sacrafice"

Subject: Join us to save San Francisco $1.3 billion


As Labor Day approaches San Francisco finds itself at a crossroads. With the continued economic crisis comes the reality that providing the essential services that San Franciscans rely on is in jeopardy. In response, the Mayor, Board of Supervisors, non-profit providers, and the business and labor communities have come together to deliver a solution. Their answer is Yes on C.

Yes on C reforms city employees' benefits and saves San Francisco at least $1.3 billion over the next 10 years. It prevents pension spiking and helps meet our moral and economic obligation to protect neighborhoods, provide health care, maintain our infrastructure, clean up our parks, and deliver vital services to seniors, the disabled, and the homeless.

Join us in supporting Proposition C. Sign up here to join our campaign, like us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter.
In tough times, with our city facing dwindling resources, only Yes on C brings the city together in the spirit of shared sacrifice to put our economic house in order and ensure a bright future for every San Francisco family. That's why Senator Dianne Feinstein, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Attorney General Kamala Harris, San Francisco Planning and Urban Research (SPUR), the Human Services Network, the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, San Francisco Labor Council, and virtually every elected official in San Francisco all urge you to vote Yes on C.

Join us in supporting pension and health reform, join us in voting Yes on C.


Sincerely,

Tim Paulson, Executive Director, San Francisco Labor Council

Steve Falk, President, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce

Co-Chairs, San Franciscans United for Pension & Health Care Reform
