Action At SF Labor Council Monday 5:30 PM
Stop The Genocide NOW!
For A General Strike Of All Labor To Shutdown The War Machine

SF Labor Council Meeting
Monday March 10th 2024
55 Fillmore St.
San Francisco

The San Francisco Labor Council top officials have prevented resolutions for a ceasefire from even being discussed and voted on including one from the American Postal Workers Union and other unions. The bureaucrats are still refusing to allow a discussion or debate.

The top officials such as SEIU 87 President and SFLC VP Olga Miranda are well known Zionists who work with AIPAC and other Zionist organizations to stop any discussion and support at the SFLC for Palestine. The former Executive Director Rudy Gonzalez previously told the San Francisco Northern California Jewish Bulletin there would be no discussion resolutions on Palestinians and Israel at the SFLC.

At last month’s labor council rank and file workers forced them to allow a worker to speak about the genocide and also to support a general strike. At tonight’s meeting there will be a rally to call for action to stop the genocide.

Attend the rally and also get you local to demand that the Labor Council Act NO!

Free Free Palestine! Workers & General Strike NOW At SFLC Meeting To Stop US Supported Gaza Genocide

Workers went to the San Francisco Labor Council on February 12, 2024 to demand a general strike to stop the US supported Israeli genocide in Gaza. The officials of the SFLC have blocked any discussion on Palestine and got a letter from AFL-CIO president Liz Schuler that they cannot even have a discussion on a labor boycott of Israel for the apartheid policies against Palestinians. The officials of the council have also bullied delegates and removed one who raised the issue at the council.
The officials also tried to remove the workers but they stood up and chanted Free Free Palestine, General Strike. After failing to remove them for fear of bad publicity and embarrass the judges there at the meeting who wanted the SFLC endorsement, they allowed social worker Monique Flambures to speak for 5 minutes.
After speaking she received support from the delegates many of whom support the Palestinians but the delegates have been blocked by the top officials from taking any action on the genocide in Gaza.
One vice president of the council, Olga Miranda who is also president of SEIU 87 tried to get a goon squad to throw the workers out. She is also a big labor supporter of AIPAC and spoke at their 2016 convention supporting Zionism. She has also physically threatened a memberof her local who voiced opposition to ordering members to give financial support to Democratic Party politicians that Miranda was supporting.
