let us do that. let us bar incident and give us a contract, a decent contract. and another thing, we want to say in civil service. if you want to take us out ask us how we feel about it. don't dictate and take us out anyway. let us know what's going on. let us tell you what we want. you don't decide for us. thank you. [applause] >> good evening. my name is kaden. i am the field statuer for local 1021 assigned to the school district. the san francisco unified classified workers. i have negotiated many contracts at the service of several unions but no negotiations have been, i would say, so clearly defined as the one we've entered with the san francisco unified school district. it's really a shame what has happened here. let me outline what that means on our end in. the first place, the san francisco unified refused to bargain furloughs. literally refused and then it hit impasse and at the time you hit impasse, in order to avoid not being certified for impasse, you are returned to the table to bargain again. at the time you have to certify that both parties negoti

let us do that. let us bar incident and give us a contract, a decent contract. and another thing, we want to say in civil service. if you want to take us out ask us how we feel about it. don't dictate and take us out anyway. let us know what's going on. let us tell you what we want. you don't decide for us. thank you.

let us do our part to force planning to act and act quickly. thank you. commissioner murphy: thank you. next speaker please. >> hi, commissioners. i do want to comment on the aspect of public service. when you come in, it is amazing how many people actually walk in, and they first come to the information counter, but they seem to wander off. they just see the one sign, and i think it could be bigger than what it is. the people are really helping these folks. there is two types of application forms -- form 3 and form 8, ones that we are all familiar with. 3 by the over-the-counter. it is what happens when even if a death addition or replacement for the side, or i saw someone the other day where it was a girl raj girla g -- it was a garage being demolished and a new one being built. speaker rodriguez said they get stuck there forever and eventually end up going to dbi. my concern is with the former 3's. they are as booked magic supposed to get assigned to a plan checker. they should be able to get straight to a plan checker and not be waiting. i think they s

let us do the risk analysis. i will turn over briefly to commissioner hammer. commissioner hammer: thank you. i will be brief. i am sure folks have a lot to say. we want to hear from them. i want to thank president mazzucco. i reached out to him after the last polarizing debate to try to find the best way forward. i said that as something -- as someone who has worked as a reserve police officer. i believe there is a gap between what our officers have between baton and firearm. last time this debate came up, it was solely focused on tasers. the question should be how we change our tactics, how we avoid use of force whenever possible. and in those rare instances when force has to be used, what is the best will for our officers? the motion i will be making later is to authorize the chief of police to develop a proposal to put forward a pilot program. that is another key change. it is not to walk out in the entire department. it is a small, a pilot program that would be evaluated by this commission down the road. we of work with the offices of citizen complaint to

the foods study recommended a long term study never done so the scientists asked for the study so let us do them we think there's a problem here we've taken a preliminary look we there's a problem but the politicians at the f.d.a. and in the administration of that time said no they suppress the science and these questions these studies have never been done never been done. the flavor saver tomato was the first genetically engineered food to reach the public cal gene the corporation that produced the tomato had done three voluntary feeding studies on rats and found lesions in some other rat stomachs. the question that you're asking is. about the flavor saver tomato and what went into that curiously enough i was actually one of the outside consultants that was in the last meeting on the flavor saver to me which wasn't terribly successful commercially but the f.d.a. scientist went through a long present taishan about all the analyses they had done and her concluding slide was the flavor saver tomato is a tomato so they had not found any substantial differences except for the addition of the on

me and sat me down and said son, you need to do one thing, you need to sit down and be quiet and let us do the work and he took my receipts and records and locked them in an earthen locker and he came back with his british musket gun, when you fire it it blasts in your face and he came back and said everything will be fine. a l.a. willing. six weeks later the school got built. it was an important lesson to let go and let the communities be empowered and let them do they're work in entirety. it came time to open the school and kids came from all around and julia came all the way here from america. you could see this colorful lapel around they're neck that means bam! of courage. it's put around a newborn when they're first born to ward away evil spirits, so the kids put that around they're neck. julie you want to model this? this is a, tomar. it means badge of courage. look at this gentlemen on the right. he has orange haier. not because he died it but because he has a disease where he's starving from protein deficiency. see the joy despite the lack of these things. it came in 96 i decided t

we could do our three that wait and start moving forward, if need be. let usget them done sooner rather than later. commissioner chan: i don't disagree with your suggestion. if we have to give 15 days' notice, i am thinking thursday's are better for us, since before our wednesday meetings we are usually pretty busy getting ready. having won on february 10, which is a thursday, the 17th, a thursday, and the 24th, which is a thursday, we could announce all three of them at the same time. we would be 15 days ahead of time if we posted today or tomorrow. >> it may be that you would want commission staff to take the discussion that happened tonight and try to reach out to identify locations and dates. we could work to identify commissioners that were available. >> once we hear the location is available, we could set the dates in accordance with our wishes. vice president marshall: i just don't want the quorum thing to stand in our way. i don't want that standing in the way of moving. i know sometimes the biggest bugaboo in the whole thing is finding a place to do i

let us do the risk analysis. i will turn over briefly to commissioner hammer. commissioner hammer: thank you. i will be brief. i am sure folks have a lot to say. we want to hear from them. i want to thank president mazzucco. i reached out to him after the last polarizing debate to try to find the best way forward. i said that as something -- as someone who has worked as a reserve police officer. i believe there is a gap between what our officers have between baton and firearm. last time this debate came up, it was solely focused on tasers. the question should be how we change our tactics, how we avoid use of force whenever possible. and in those rare instances when force has to be used, what is

that bankrupted the country, and they are only message is, let us do it all over again. >> mr. speaker, my constituent lost both his legs and his arm while serving in afghanistan over 15 months ago. i am sure the prime minister and this whole house understand the debt we owe jack and others like him. with the number of british soldiers losing limbs, having increased by 40% from 2009 to 2010, would the prime minister agree it is important we find access to new resources to ensure that the patients and staff can continue their excellent standard of work which is coming under greater pressure? >> the gentleman makes an incredibly important point about what is happening in terms of the number of people returning and duties, and important about what we as a slot -- important point about what mwe must do to support them. there is a new war that opened in september of last year. there is a 25-meter swimming pool, but we must go on making sure that this magnificent facility is continually improve, and we do everything for our brave, returning soldiers. >> just over a year ago the prime

northrop kept going back and forth aided by a nestler over the years saying let us do something. up until the very end, they were not letting them do anything. >> another question it which this case raises is the question about what did the family do because obviously you mentioned the journalists and the impact of working for the "christian science monitor." family was vocal about the fact that she'd been taken. when david wrote was kidnapped, there was essentially a news blackout on that which all news organizations basically agree that they wouldn't. so you have the choice of being public or saying nothing but if you don't want to amp up the demands of hostage takers, can you explain what the families in this case did and how their feelings over overtime changed? >> in this case, as soon as the hostages -- as soon as their plane crashed and they became hostages, the u.s. government told the families come the state department told the families that we don't want you to talk about this. don't talk to the media. one of the mothers refuse to follow those guidelines. she is the moth

that party opposite, they double the debt and they bankrupt the country and their only message is let us do it all over again. >> mr. speaker, my constituent jack author lost both his legs and his arm while serving in afghanistan over 15 months ago. i'm sure the prime minister and this whole house understand the debt we owe jack and others like him who serve their country. would the number of british soldiers increase by 40% from 2009 to 2010 -- would the prime minister agree with me that it's important we find access to new resources to ensure that the patients and the staff can continue their excellent standard of work which is sadly coming under greater pressure? >> the honorable gentleman makes an incredibly important point what happens to the numbers of single, double and treble amp tease and the very important society we must do to support them. i visited hedley court. i know many others have as well. there's a new ward that opened september last year. it has the capacity of 111 trauma beds. there's a 25 meter swimming pool and there's a sports floor and a sentimental help but we must

they doubled the debt, let the banks rip and bankrupted the country, and their only message is, "let us do it all over again." >> my constituent, rifleman jack otter, lost both his legs and an arm while serving in afghanistan more than 15 months ago. i am sure that the prime minister and the whole house understand the debt that we owe jack and others like him who have served our country. with the number of british soldiers losing limbs having increased by 40% from 2009 to 2010, does the prime minister agree that it is important that we find access to new resources to ensure that patients and staff at headley court can continue their excellent standard of work, which is sadly coming under greater pressure? >> my honorable friend makes an incredibly important point about what is happening in terms of the number of people returning as single, double and sometimes treble amputees, and about what we as a society must do to support them. i have visited headley court, and i know that many others have done so. it is an absolutely magnificent facility. a new ward opened in september last year and i

standing with thousands of people that have e-mailed us and called us and they're telling us, don't let the governor do this to us. >> reporter: most infuriating for union employees, the governor wants to strip away nearly all bargaining rights, everything from wages to work rules. you think he's trying to bust your union? >> of course, he's going to. >> by taking away our right to bargain as teachers, i don't think it's solving a budget in any way. >> reporter: madison has become a microcosm of the budget battles raging in so many states, providing a pulpit for national union leaders. >> this has been going on for too long. now leaders like walker want to take away our break freedom, our new dom freedom to have a voice the job. >> reporter: like a magnet, the crowds and cameras are attracting the nation's activists. >> enthusiasm is infebruary with us. nonviolent, disciplined focus. saving the rights of workers. this is not just about money. >> reporter: but the spectacle in madison is also drawing plenty of high-profile critics. >> if a teacher is protesting while claiming sick leave that would appea

us and we are working with them. we have also been working with some of the promoters that are doing these events had come to the staff who let us know that they are doing the event and the steps they are taking to make sure the events go off safely. we have had no problems, but i want to put this commission on the know that it is actively and bringing in outside promoters. in the past, i mentioned working with the state agency and the bureau that licensed security guards in the state of california. we met with them and have been working through e-mail. we are looking to the next stage where they are talking about bringing us ain for site inspections. it would give us the ability to work with the state agency much closer. making sure that all of the security guards are guard carded. as you know, it is not only a state law, but a city law as well. finally, there have been lots of comments about trends. i bring up my last point here, one of the trends i am seeing recently is a swing from non- permanent venues using dj's to non-permanent venues using live music. now we find more where house parties -- warehouse parties with live
