East Bay Union Bureaucrats Support Billionaire Privatizer & GAP/A's Owner John Fisher
The leadership of the Alameda Labor Council and the Alameda Building Trades are supporting Billionaire GAP & A's owner John Fisher who wants to privatize the Howard Terminal at the Port Of Oakland. This would destroy the working port and threaten 80,000 unionized jobs as well as escalate the gentrification of West Oakland with 3,000 million dollar condos. Despite massive community opposition they are siding with Fisher and his family who also run the union busting KIPP and Rocketship charter schools.

https://youtu.be/EYWjcD94vlk
On August 5, 2020 at a meeting of the Alameda County Democratic Party Central Committee, Alameda Labor Council Executive Director Elisabeth Ortega-Toro explained why she and the Council were supporting billionaire A's owner John Fisher's plan to privatize Howard Terminal in the Port of Oakland and build a stadium, 3,000 one million dollar condos and a hotel.. A resolution opposing the proposed new A's stadium in the Port of Oakland and opposing the sale of the Coliseum was presented by member Pamela Price to the committee for a vote. Democrats Nancy Skinner and Rob Banta with the support of Governor Newsom also have also passed a special tax bill to override tideland laws and raise $200 million for the infrastructure of the Fisher's new proposed stadium.
The privatization land grab is opposed by the ILWU and all maritime labor who have said that the stadium, 3,000 one million dollar condos and a hotel would destroy the viability of the working port and further gentrify and ethnically remove Black and Brown people from the city.
