i am very disappointed with my local S.F. Bay Area state rep Assemblyman, Gene Mullin, regardless of his political party, in this overthrow the idiot Republicans election.
First, i contacted his office years ago because a very rich owner of a charter bus company was dumping his bus toilets across his employee parking lot and into the storm drain, puting all employees for weeks at huge health risk. Assemblyman Mullin did nothing. It took repeated calls to the storm drain county department to get it stopped , when San Mateo County government and its administrator and board and health department would do nothing,,,i was told there was"no overtime allowed to come out at night and see the toilet illegal dumping". This was at SFO Airporter-Compass Transportation Bus Companies lot in SSF.
Next, some time later , i contacted Assemblyman Mullins office to complain that my new boss, Mercury Tours, was requiring that all employees check out their charter buses off the clock on their own time. This had/has been going on for years. Assemblyman Mullin said he would "send a brochure on an employer convention" to the labor law violating owner.
Lastly, i contacted Assemblyman Mullin from another charter bus company and asked why one bus company owner said it was the law to pay overtime but he was not going to because the state of Ca. did not usually enforce it ,,,and yet the next charter bus company said they did not owe any driver overtime and we could work over 125 hours per week when the DOT federal maximum is 70 hours per week. Assemblyman Mullin said he was not interested in finding out whether this blue collar worker was legally due overtime pay.
Business "as usual" has got to stop, and i recommend you do not continue Assemblyman Mullin leaching off the citizens and taxpayers in his too long political career.
