Rally held for laid-off Century City janitors | abc7.com

CENTURY CITY, LOS ANGELES : A march and rally in support of 16 laid-off janitors wrapped up Thursday in Century City. Police arrested more than a dozen people.

"Hundreds of protestors marched along busy Avenue of the Stars midday, stopping at the corner of Constellation, near the Century Plaza building owned by J.P. Morgan Chase. The demonstrators are upset that 16 janitors were laid off from their jobs. "They're a multi-million dollar company and they're laying off the lowest-paid people in the building," said protestor Terri Green. "The people that clean up behind them. The people that take care of their events, that clean up behind their events, and we just don't think it's fair." In a show of support, dozens of other janitors at Century Plaza walked off the job."
"The SEIU United Service Workers West, the union representing the janitors, says it wants to sit down with J.P. Morgan Chase officials and work something out. "We understand that we're not going to be able to protect all our jobs but we're asking for is sit down and negotiate a reasonable solution," said United Service Workers West Vice President David Huerta. "We're not going to protect everyone, but we should be able to protect some of the folks who are being laid off."

"Police officers kept watch over the demonstration, only moving in and making arrests after more than a dozen people formed a circle and sat in the middle of an intersection, a planned act of civil disobedience. "There were approximately 12 to 15 people in the intersection who sat down. We effected arrests of those individuals."

COMMENT: THIS IS 100% PURE BS*%*@. I WAS FIRED FROM MY JOB IN EARLY 2008. I WAS NOT PART OF A UNION SO NO ONE CAME OUT TO PROTEST ON MY BEHALF.

SINCE WHEN DO IMMIGRANT JANITORS THINK THEY CAN WALK OFF THE JOB EN MASS TO PROTEST THE FIRING OF 16 MEMBERS OF THEIR UNION. BECAUSE THE SEIU WELDS SUCH POWER IN LA?.

THESE ARE UNSKILLED IMMIGRANT JANITORS HIRED BY A CONTRACTOR, NOT JP MORGAN CHASE!

HOW ABOUT 2-3 MILLION PRIVATE SECTOR CALIFORNIA CITIZENS WHO GOT FIRED/ LAID OFF SINCE EARLY 2008. THE SEIU DID NOT COME OUT ON THEIR BEHALF.

SEIU THINKS THEY CAN SIMPLY ORGANIZE A PROTEST IN LA ON BEHALF OF LAID OFF IMMIGRANT WORKERS AND THE WORLD WILL MOVE ON THEIR BEHALF. BS!!

CHEAP IMMIGRANT LABOR IS PLENTIFUL IN LA DUE TO OUR LAX IMMIGRATION LAWS, AND THERE ARE A 100 IDLE RECENT IMMIGRANTS/ILLEGALS/LOWLY UNSKILLED ANCHORS TO TAKE THE PLACE OF EACH LAID-OFF OR FIRED JANITOR IN LA.

THE SEIU AND AFL-CIO HAVE OPENLY COME OUT ADVOCATING OPEN BORDERS, AMNESTY, AND UNRESTRICTED IMMIGRATION. THEY ENCOURAGE AND FOSTER AN ABUNDANT CHEAP IMMIGRANT OVERSUPPLY OF LABOR IN LA/CA WHICH ALLOWS COMPANIES TO HIRE/FIRE AT WILL, KNOWING THERE IS ABUNDANT CHEAP IMMIGRANT LABOR IN CA, WITH MORE STREAMING ACROSS OUR POROUS BORDERS EVERY DAY!!

RV sewage waste dumped onto Venice Beach street tarnishs image of SoCal tourist trap

Venice beach CA is getting somewhat wacky this late in summer. It has always been an off kilter zone of crazed lefties , moonbat movie stars ,and a plethora of local gangstas who ply the VB boardwalk on any given day. Lately though VB is getting a spate of news which may be unwelcome to its carefully cultivated(and largely fake) image as a premier LA(and worldwide) tourist attraction.

Topless protesters turn heads at Venice Beach

http://bit.ly/bcay2m

Here is that specific incident which spatters VB image:

RV dumps raw sewage on Venice Beach residential street. LA city bio-hazard crew called in. This incident has highlighted a growing problem of an army of VB homeless living in their RV trailers on Venice Beach streets.

http://www.blogger.com/blog-this-done.g?blogID=4770904700405291286

'Last week, in the middle of the night, a resident on Pacific Avenue noticed an RV parked the wrong way in front of her home. She heard some noise, then noticed a passenger getting out of the RV, and removing the cap to the sewage tank. The woman jumped back into the RV and drove away intentionally allowing gallons of sewage to spill out onto the street....

The resident called 911 and the LAPD was able to track down the RV. The resident made a citizen's arrest and the woman was taken into custody. Despite numerous calls and complaints, the raw sewage remained on the street for days. Finally, residents notified KFI News and I began making calls and inquiries. Finally, after 6 days, councilman Bill Rosendahl's office requested a clean up crew to go to the area and remove the waste. I was there while the crew cleaned up the mess from Pacific Avenue...

When asked why it took a week to respond to requests for cleanup, a Rosendahl aide told me it was the first he'd heard of it. At least 7 residents confirmed a face-to-face meeting with Rosendahl last Thursday in one of his satellite offices...

On Tuesday night a resident called to tell me the city contacted her to notify her that one of the areas where RV's typically park was declared a bio-hazard and the LAPD was evacuating RV's.'

Boxer uses deceit/outright lies about effects of offshore oil drilling on CA coastal environment

These are shots of Long beach oil island and of Huntington Beach. I regularly surf and swim in the HB water. HB has some of the finest waves in SoCal, is a SoCal surfing mecca, and also has a 30 mile stretch of white sandy beaches. It is nicknamed 'surf city'. Notice the oil platforms in these pics. There are 5 of them off HB coast. They do not affect beachgoers and surfers one bit. Schools of dolphins regularly troll for food near the beaches edge. HB admittedly is not a pristine eco-zone(it has oil extraction sites both on and offshore) but it does serve the recreational needs of several million summer visitors and the local OC residents.

This is a repeat post on Boxer's deceitful statement that offshore oil drilling will cost Santa Barabra 400,000 jobs. That is a masterful Hilterian/communist propaganda lie. I live in long beach and regularly engage in water sports activites in the long beach marina and even in the harbor itself. I have kayaked that harbor and paddled next to the close-in oil well islands, which are not platforms but are leveled rock piles sunk off the long beach harbor. These oil islands, as the pic shows, are disguised with palm trees and other greenery and are covered by outer building skins so they add an attractive decor to the harbor.

I have put up these pics of our beautiful Long beach/Hunt beach shoreline recreation areas to show Boxer that offshore oil wells do not degrade nor adversely affect the shoreline.

location of new RFK 578 million Hi school, los angeles

http://cbs2.com/local/LAUSD.school.Robert.2.1873086.html

I have looked at location of New Robert F Kennedy school in Los Angeles, which cost a whopping 587 million. It is located at 3400 Wilshire Blvd in Korea Town, at former site of the Historic Ambassador Hotel. Goog map still shows it under construction. It lies on Wilshire blvd between Normandie and Vermont Ave, and stretches south from Wilshire to 8th street.

Koreatown along that stretch of Wilshire is a busy commercial strip of high-rises which houses mostly Chinese-korean businesses, and is the center for the far East LA expat/immigrant community. But if u go away from that busy commercial strip even a few blocks u get into the koreatown ghettos, which are mostly filled with recent latino immigrants. They in fact surround and inundate this district.

Koreatown is volatile, largely marginal, and is considered a high-crime district. Remember the LA riots in 1992 and also that 17-year old female high school student who was abducted/murdered by a transient.

From Koreatown all the way east to the edges of LA DWTN(Think Pico-Union, Westlake, drug-infested MacAarthur park)is a degenerated run-down illegal immigrant-filled district which lies almost in the shadows of LA DWTN high rises. Go north/NE to the 101 freeway and you get into more degenerated illegal-immigrant slumzones such as Rampart.

The LASUD, who's gleaming headquarters hi-rise is one mile east at 333 Beaudry street(the 1st street west of Harbor Freeway 110), built this costly boondoogle school to educate the districts huge anchor kids population, who are mostly anchor offspring of illegals or recent green card immigrants. Also put up in 2008 was the Edward R. Roybal Learning Center( site of costly environ cleanup when it was known as Belmont High), which cost 377 million. It is just a few blocks up the street from the LAUSD command center hi-rise. Roybal is in an even worse ghetto area than RFK.

90% of the kids in these costly state-of-the-art schools will be anchor kids of working class/impoverished Hispanic immigrants(including illegals) at cost of 15,000-20,000 per kid if you factor in cost of the buildings.

I will not delve too much into the byzantine bond/taxpayer funding for the schools, or for all the other 100+ new/refurbished primary schools which have been or are in process of being built all over LA City/County, most of them in impoverished or declining districts heavily populated/re-populated by recent immigrants. All i will say is the voters of LA/CA passed these bond measures early to mid decade before the great CA economic collapse from 2008 to present.

I have put up these pics of our beautiful Long beach/Hunt beach shoreline recreation areas to show boxer that offshore oil wells do not degrade nor adversely affect the shoreline. Top left pic shows Hunt Beach oil platform. Top right shows LB oil island.

Boxer goes demagogic on SB offshore oil drilling issue. She says that 400,000 SB jobs will be lost or adversely impacted. That is using the Hitler big lie.
No SB jobs will be lost, and MORE oil drilling will add 300,000-500,000 high-paying energy-related jobs to CA's desperate economy. SB coastal tourism industRy is likely being adversely affected by CA's economic collapse, as is the coastal tourism of all seaside areas from Monterrey to San Diego.

Oil drilling has no impact on local tourism. long beach and HUNTINGTON BEACH, CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE, HAVE 11 OFFSHORE OIL WELLS AND LOCAL BEACHGOERS ARE NOT AFFECTED ONE BIT. OUR BEACHES GET MAX CROWDS ON SUMMER WEEKENDS. LONG BEACH SHORELINE HAS 3 OIL WELLS VERY CLOSE TO THE SHORE BUT THEY HAVE NO IMPACT AS THEY ARE DRESSED UP AND COVERED BY DECORATIVE COVERINGS AND EVEN PLANTS TO HIDE THE OIL DRILL APPARATUS. LB IS A WATER SPORTS MECCA AND PLENTY OF SAILBOATS, JET SKIERS, KITE SURFERS, KAYAKERS REGULARLY PLY THE WATERS WITHOUT THE OIL WELL PLATFORMS IMPINGING ON THEIR FUN.

WE HAVE HAD OIL WELL PLATFORMS FOR 50-60 YEARS AND NOT ONE SPILL TO REPORT. FURTHERMORE, SOCAL HAS 10 POWER PLANTS/WASTE WATER PLANT SITES RIGHT AT WATERS EDGE. THEY ARE NEEDED TO POWER OUR LOCAL ECONOMY AND PROVIDE FOR SANITATION/WASTE MANAGEMENT. WE ALSO HAVE 3-4 OIL REFINERYS IN LONG BEACH/LA PORT REGION/SOUTH BAY. WHY DOES LONG BEACH PORT AREA HAVE TO HAVE THESE POWER ENERGY FACILITIES WHILE SANTA BARBARA CAN KEEP THEIR COASTAL SHORES FREE OF ENERGY GENERATION SITES.

WHY DOSEN'T BOXER COME DOWN TO LONG BEACH OR HUNT BEACH AND MAKE HER PLEA TO BAN OFSHORE OIL DRILLING HERE IN LONG BEACH, AND STAND IN FRONT OF ONE OF OUR BEAUTIFUL OIL DRILLING PLATFORMS.

BOXER IS A COMPLETE HYPOCRITE, LIKE THE NOT-IN-MY BACK YARD NIMBYS IN SANTA BARBARA WHO WANT THEIR CHEAP GAS BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO SUPPORT MORE OFFSHORE DRILLING EITHER IN SB OR IN ANWAR. WAIT TIL IRAN GETS ATTACKED NEXT SPRING AND OIL SHOOTS UP TO $$150/200 A BARREL AND GAS GOES TO $4.00/GALLON. I GUARANTEE YOU THAT CALIFORNIANS WILL BE SCREAMING FOR MORE OIL DRILLING.

Some links on Bell City ongoing civic corruption - a microcosm of CA public employee pension racket

A compilation of links on Bell City ongoing civic corruption

Bell gave employees more than $1.5 million in loans

I have viewed Bell scandals at some length, and i am convinced that Bell is a microcosm of the gigantic criminal syndicate racket called the CA state pension plan. What happened with bell has happened all over CA, as we have state/county/city public employee unions basically Bankrupting CA thru running/piling up outrageous pensions.

The entire state/municipal gov racket is designed to insure that CA gov employees
are financially well provided for life, even after they retire at mid age, say 50. No matter if economy tanks or revenue dries up, the state will protect and pay its employees handsomely, even if they have to bleed taxpayers to death. This is called a racket.
It is in fact a criminal racketeering syndicate, the worlds largest. A conspiracy by CA public employees to reward themselves by looting the CA taxpayers out of every dime and nickle.
No matter if CA is reeling from an economic calamity/near-depression and 20% REAL UE. No matter that state revenues have declined by 20-30% since 2008. The state workers must be protected by all means even if they must beg the Fed for a handout, which President Obama provided by injecting 26 billion into CA coffers to save public employee jobs and pensions.

What we have is the State of CA and it's state public workers ganging up against it's citizens to protect their racketeering enterprise, which is to buffer PEU's and their public pensions from economic calamities, and continue to inflate PEU pensions to the point of bankrupting the state.

All the recent news about CA going after Bell is just a politically motivated ploy just before Nov. midterms elections to gain points for Dem attorney Gen/Gov candidate Jerry Brown and states dominant Dem political classes, who are using Bell scandals and CA going after Bell to deceive the public that CA Gov really cares About public corruption. That is a lie. CA public employees only take care of their own and could care less about the public. They are only interested in power and insulating themselves from any budget cutbacks of their lavish ill-gotten financial gains. CA public employees are among the highest- paid in USA with 100% state paid health benefits and pensions. CA PEUs' have in fact become the 21st century version of a feudal ruling class.
