Dallas Sanitation workers, seek Living Wage, respect |

Local 100 – United Labor Unions held a panel discussion at Mount Olive Lutheran Church on July 17, 2010, concerning City of Dallas sanitation workers being forced to make ends meet on the minimum wage of $7.25. During the panel discussion, the workers made clear they need a Living Wage (which is nowhere near $7.25 an hour). The solution is getting the mayor and City Council of Dallas to understand these workers are humans doing a very difficult job in 100 degree weather. But the job must be done to make the City function. As one of the signs at the rally said “I AM A MAN” which is the same sign used in 1968 in Memphis when garbage workers went on strike trying to get paid above the minimum wage. It is hard to believe that workers are fighting the same struggle in Dallas in 2010, over 40 years later. Martin Luther King, Jr. was in Memphis in 1968, speaking up for garbage workers when he was assassinated. After the panel discussion, Local 100 marched to the Martin Luther King, Jr. statue for a rally in memory of the Memphis struggle--in hope that someday the City of Dallas garbage workers will go to “the mountain top” and finally earn a salary that will enable them to provide for their families and live with dignity and respect in their community.

Margott Williams
HISD Crossing Guard en Love Elementary 
Ms. Williams hablo enfrente de la mesa directiva del HISD el 10 de junio para discutir los problemas del transito de autos en las escuelas. Los automóviles que vienen al sur de la calle Sheppard en el área de the Heights transita a exceso de velocidad y ella no tiene la habilidad de hacerlos que conduzcan mas despacio.
Como en la mayoría de las escuelas, Love tiene luces intermitentes para la zona de escuelas pero muchas veces cuando ella llega a las 7 AM no están trabajando. Ella siempre reporta el mal funcionamiento de las luces y usualmente toma de tres o mas días para que las reparen, poniendo en extreme peligro y estrés a Margott por que los automóviles viajan rápido y con las luces apagadas y ella tiene mucho miedo por las vidas de los niños que ayuda a cruzar a diario.
Margott dijo, “Con mas y mas gente moviéndose en las calles de Houston esta mas congestionado y mas automovilistas no obedecen las luces intermitentes de la zona de escuelas. HISD necesita hacer algo para resolver este problema antes que un niño salga lastimado. Nosotros los que cruzamos a los niños tenemos responsabilidad pero no autoridad.”

Most will lose jobs at Algiers schools
Saturday, June 05, 2010

Waving signs and chanting loudly, a group of disgruntled janitors staged a small demonstration Friday outside the main office of the Algiers Charter Schools Association, questioning the association's decision to ditch their company and hire a more expensive one for maintenance and janitorial work next year.
The dozen or so picketing janitors, who work for the custodial and maintenance company GCA Services Group, said they didn't understand why ACSA had refused GCA's bid of $2.168 million for the upcoming year of service, thereby putting about 60 employees out of work. Instead, ACSA hired commercial cleaning company Jani-King, which submitted a bid of $2.257 million.
"To me, it's a very underhanded thing," said Helen White, 68, who until last week worked as a custodian at Edna Karr High School in Algiers. "Nobody even let me know. I had to find out through my co-workers."

Penny Tyler, a clerk at Sharpstown High School in HISD, is the Local 100 Employee of the Year in HISD.
Penny is a 15-year member of Local 100 and a 20-year employee of the District. She has one of the most outstanding employment records in all of HISD. She is part of the team that will take one of the lowest-performing schools in the District and turn it around to a high-performing school in the next three years.
Tyler said, "It takes a whole school to teach a child, not just teachers, but also, librarians, clerks, custodians, crossing guards and teacher aides. By all of us working together we can produce well-educated children. Join Local 100 and help make HISD a better place for our children and employees." |
