College of the Redwoods still unfair to labor.

I filed charges back in October against College of the Redwoods for stopping an organizing attempt by the cafeteria workers by firing the lead organizer. Reporter Cerena Johnson did the right thing and interviewed the worker in question instead of just questioning me on the subject. If you decide to organize your workplace, you are protected by law to do concerted activity without the fear of reprisal. The National Labor Relations Act NLRB :: National Labor Relations Board protects your right. In the public schools sector your rights are protected by the PERB. Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) But it is a long drawn out process, and the college school systems have lots of Lawyers who deal with these cases everyday. It was my first experience as an organizer filing charges with the PERB. Lesson learned. It was more of a he said-she said case than fact finding mission. I kept filing proof, and they systematically ignored testimony and physical evidence. Luckily the worker is employed elsewhere. The Eureka Reporter - Article

Kinda sounds like sour grapes, Richard. I read the article as well, but I don't think the CR side was accurately reported, nor do I think that they wanted to discuss what was likely in their minds a personell matter, and thus not one that they would comment about in the press.

Sort of like that rape that occurred on campus a few years ago.

And Abe Ali dabbles with employment squabbles outside of CR and is just as bad. That guy ought to be canned.

What is ironic, I was a CR cafeteria worker back in the mid-70's. Working conditions still need to be a subject matter.

I would like to see the cafeteria workers try to organize again this fall. Cafeteria workers at UC make over $11 an hour doing the same work. Oh, yes, they are organized! http://www.iww.org/

Hey Richard, these are different workers then before, CR cleaned house and recontracted the Cafeteria to something else now.
