1/8/21 SF Press Conference At SEIU 1021 "Ludwig Diid Not Have To Die" & Stop Privatization, Union Busting & Outsourcing
Saturday January 8, 2021 12:00 Noon
SEIU 1021 SF Office
350 Rhode Island #100
San Francisco
The covid pandemic continues to threaten and kill public workers in San Francisco. In September SEIU 1021 SF Homeless Shelter worker Ludwig Leota despite an underlying health condition was forced to go out on the job and died from Covid. Leota begged not only CCSF managers to allow him to continue to work at home but also SEIU 1021 staff that this would be a death sentence.
They refused to protect his life and part of this press conference will be dedicated to his life and other vulverable workers who need PPE and proper protection. Most of these workers are BIOP.
We need a Covid Zero policy with a protcol for full testing for all city workers and the public, free N95 masks for all DPH and public workers as well as the right to remote work for vulnerable workers.
It will also report on the continued privatization and outsourcing of public jobs to “non-profits” which pay less and do not have the pensions and other benefits of public workers.
The top union offiicals are helping to set up a two tier system that is incentivizing the outsourcing of jobs into a two tier system such as at Healthcare 360. The State SEIU have agreed to
support this operation siphoning off hundreds of jobs from SEIU public worker members.
We need equal pay for equal work and an end to substandard public service jobs. This is union busting.
The SEIU 1021 and San Francisco Labor Council Public Employees Committee have also agreed with City bosses to allow the termination of workers who are not vaccinnated.
They did this without informing not only the SEIU 1021 rank and fiile but even the elected bargaining committee and the SEIU 1021 top officials are seeking to roll over the contract allowing
more outsourcing of hundreds of jobs.
The top SEIU leadership have also prevented elected bargaining committee members from participatiing in negotiations unless they are vaccinated and are trying to rig the negotiations.

SF City Workers Issues With SEIU 1021 Negotiating Committee Member John Wadsworth
https://youtu.be/EBNcMrhS5Lc
City workers in San Francisco are entering negotiations for new contracts. John Wadsworth who is a DPH healthcare worker at San Francisco General Hospital talks about the issues they face including privatization and outsourcing of work. While the Mayor and Human Resources Department under former director Micki Callahan and now Carol Eisen has frozen the hiring of permanent employees there has been a massive outsourcing of jobs with hundreds of millions of dollars going to non-profits
and other agencies who do the same work as CCSF employees.
Wadsworth talks about the effect of this outsourcing on City workers and the conditions of temporary workers who are paid less but doing the same work as public workers with none of the benefits and work rights. There is also no real oversight of these non-profits and whether they are delivering the services to the residents of San Francisco and this lack of transparency has led to nepotism and corruption according to other workers.
The SEIU 1021 leadership has refused to oppose the massive outsourcing of work and has also refused to release the union contracts of companies like Healthcare 360 which is doing similar work as public workers but providing less benefits and conditions undermining public worker members in the City.
