March and Rally in Solidarity with Utility Workers at the Gas Company

Ever since the gas pipeline disaster in San Bruno, the Utility Workers at the Gas Company have been working tirelessly to make sure we never face such an accident in California.  They worked to pass a safety bill, SB 705 that is on the Governor’s desk. They have taken action before the Public Utilities Commission.  They have raised safety issues directly with the Gas Company at the bargaining table.

 

The Gas Company continues to reject the utility workers efforts to work cooperatively to insure the safety of our communities.  Instead, the Gas Company’s response is to downgrade middle-class jobs.

 

Just like our recent battle with the grocery companies, the Gas Company is being greedy,  Even though it is making billions in profits, the Gas Company wants to cut wages and benefits of the workers, just like us. UFCW Local 770 joined with Labor and community to rally in support of Gas Workers.
