[Sdalliance] Open Letter to May 1st Coalition

[Ryan Stray]

Cw rape

I don't know who you are, and I don't think you came to any mass meeting so
i wonder how you got on this listserv, but I want to point out that (one of
the) allegation(s) about Mickey specifically involves pressuring his staff
into a sexual relationship. A claim of due process might mean something in
a world where UFCW or any local or national labor body as investigating.
But UFCW and the Labor Council have chosen not to, and there is no criminal
case, and as such there is no possibility of due process from any body that
could pass judgement.

There are multiple claims from multiple female staff members of the UFCW.
What is it that leads you to side eye these women who are coming forward in
a climate that deligitimizes their claims inside the very union they fought
for, not to mention society at large? Why are you siding with a literal
boss in a clear harassment and discrimination case?

Well, Ryan, I think you want to be very careful here.  So far there are
allegations leveled at Kasparian and we see the pickets at the Delegate
meetings.  But he is entitled to due process and whether he "attacked his
workers" or not has yet to be established.  So far, he has the full
confidence of the CLC Executive Board and the Delegates.  At any rate, the
CLC is on board with May 1 as it is being headed up by SEIU.
My laptop is pretty old so I don't seem to be able to access the letter to
which you refer.  Can you send it as an attachment?

Mickey Kasparian is named in the letter explicitly, right? The man attacked
his workers.
