6:53 am
[inaudible] is a example of what needs to be in san francisco. san francisco has became a haight town for black people. let's face t there ain't no sense in [inaudible] under the rug. that is what is going on and what has been going on and ararea bolt decide that they were going to play a better game and i am here to comp lment herra bolt and say to all of you, the city of san francisco doesn't see that black people have jobs in the town, but her rks are a bolt i take my hat to had only construction company i had dealings with that are seeing to it that blook people have a opportunity as white people. thank you >> thank you. i have a couple more names. cholineup
6:54 am
>> [inaudible] employed by wicat industry, a subcontractor to [inaudible] bolt on the cathedral hills project. i don't have a sfeech prepared by my history was a sadey one. i spent a lot of times in the institution and doing crimes and decide to change mife life and wicat gave me the opportunity to do that. i did 17 years and got out and didn't have job skills. they sent me to training and got the necessarily qual fiication squz certifications to be qualified. they give other guys that opportunity too who want to change liar life. those guys in prisons are coming out and hurera bolt, the atmosphere is non judgmental and you have a equal say so in what is go ing
6:55 am
on >> thank you for sharing your experience and for your courage. >> my name is deborah [inaudible] registered nurse alt cpmc. i'm glad to have a chance to speak about things that have been irking me for quite a long time. one of my major concerns is the we put all the eggs in one basket and --[inaudible] i'm concerned that once again we are shutting down acute care hospitals and emergency rooms and putting all our egg uzin one basket. we have never solved the traffic issue around the situation with cpmc. the other thing i'm concerned about and it is related is what ask happening at saint lukes. yes, we saved the hospital, yes we turned it from a [inaudible] 120 bed hospital, but i would like you to look very carefully how many
6:56 am
of those beds are now being turned to skill nursing beds. we shut down the sniff at cal campus. we used to have 40-60 beds there and now suddenly there is all this room at saint lukes and maybe at daveies and out in the community i have been told time and time again cpmc shouldn't be responsible for all the skilled nursing positions and there should be places in the community and the community will absorb these patients. we discharge patients daily fairly healthy from the orthopedic floor and i don't know where those patienterize going to be going. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please >> good afternoon supervisor, my name is evelyn [inaudible] i work for cpmc for 35 years. i work with patients in skilled
6:57 am
nursing facility who needs lock term care. cpmc is reducing the services and we believe they do not intend to have this skilled nursing facility services in the new saint lukes hospital. the nob nab cpmc accountable to our patients and our communities. please, help us protect our patients. >> thank you very much. next speaker >> good afternoon, my name is shurly [inaudible] i'm a nurse at california pacific medical center. i'm here fooask for your support for holding cpmc accountable for to the community and staut the [inaudible] the skilled nursing facility they shut down and had
6:58 am
nurses scurrying around to fill positions that other campuses at the last minute t. was like they were holder their breath to get a job. i want to address the issue where cpmc said they are filling all these jobs and the jobs that they fill are clerical positions, but they failed to say they was outsourcing most of those jobs to another area code. trying to get services such from human resources or get your pay roll, anything that you need to get information about for yourself is like pulling teeth. these jobs are out sourceed to people that don't go the protocols with cpmc and it takes a act of god just to get your money back, get pay roll issues addressed and supervisors have called back people to talk
6:59 am
to-it is just like you are-you call in for 2 to 3 weeks to get a issue resolved. the jobs are not given to the people here, so you need to look at the example they are setting right now and look for wherethey are going with this. these jobs are being out sourceed. they are not given to the people in the tenderloin district. when they say are giving these jobs to people in the area, we need to have cpmc be held accountable and keeping the jobs of the people they have here and making sure they get to be able to keep their time and have their issues addressed >> thank you, next speaker please. at this point i have one one card. any member of the public who has not spoken and would like to speak, please come up >> my name is choline phurenol and organizer for
7:00 am
[inaudible] disappointed to hear yet again cpmc is [inaudible] similarly cpmc is failing to fulfill commitment to current employees. we are in contract negotiation right now and currently cpmc proposed high cost on the health inshirns to employees while failing to provide for what we consider a living wage to survive in san francisco. while it is important cpmc fulfills the promise to hire people from san francisco, they also need to provide these employees once they are hired with a actual decent living wage including affordable health care cost. i would like to let you know the next bogerning session is june 12 and the members committed if there is not a serious
