DEAR FELLOW BLUE COLLAR WORKERS,
STAY AWAY FROM CALIFORNIA !!
I AM 56 AND THIS STATE HAS A MISERABLE RECORD OF NOT ENFORCING THE CAL-OSHA WORKPLACE SAFETY LAWS AND ALSO OF NOT ENFORCING THE ON- THE- BOOKS OVERTIME PAY LAWS,,,LATELY, SOFTWARE DESIGNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF NOT GETTING OVERTIME FOR WORKING 80 HOURS PER WEEK, JUST STRAIGHT TIME PAY,,, WELL , I AM FROM THE TRUCKING, LIMOUSINE AND CHARTER BUS BUSINESSES, AND ALTHO COMPANIES IN SAN FRANCISCO AND THE S.F. BAY AREA ARE MAKING TONS OF MONEY AND PROFIT , THEY AND THE STATE POLITICIANS SEE NO POINT IN GENERALLY AND FAIRLY ENFORCING THE STATE LAWS SO THAT IN THESE ECONOMIC DOWN TIMES, WE LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME WORKERS CAN LEGALLY SHARE IN THESE PROFITS,,,I KNOW, THE NATIONAL MEDIA AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE FULL OF THIS STORY THAT THE ECONOMY IS IMPROVING, YEAR AFTER YEAR , FOR OVER 5 YEARS, WHEN IT IS THE RICH GETTING RICHER AND CHEATING ALL THE REST OF US INTO POORER STRAIGHTS,,,FOR INSTANCE, THE DMCs/DESTINATION MANAGEMENT COMPANIES OF SAN FRANCISCO ARE MAKING 50-33 NET PROFIT OFF ARRANGING BUSES AND RESTAURANTS AND SIGHTEEING FOR CONVENTIONS AND CORPORATIONS,,,SO LET'S SAY THAT IBM COMES TO TOWN AND SPENDS 10 MILLION DOLLARS ON THESE DMCs,,,3 MILLION MIGHT BE ALL PROFIT,,,I WONDER IF STOCK SHAREHOLDERS KNOW HOW THEIR INVESTMENT IS BEING WASTED ??,,,
IN THE LIMO BUSINESS, ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE LATE 1980'S WOULD ROUTINELY SWITCH STRETCHES ON S.F. BAY AREA BRIDES SO THAT ASIAN BRIDES WHO MIGHT EVEN HAVE COME IN TO SELECT THE SPECIFIC BLACK STRETCH LIMO WOULD GET A WHITE CAR ,,, AND CAUCAUSIAN BRIDES WHO HAD ORDERED A WHITE STRETCH FIND ON THEIR WEDDING DAY A LONG BLACK STRETCH OUT FRONT OF THE CHURCH OR THEIR HOUSE,,,THE BRIDE AND MOTHER ARE USUALLY IN TEARS AND THE FATHER IS STEAMING MAD,,,BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO,,,MAYBE THEY DID NOT PAY BY CREDIT CARD,,,MAYBE THEY DID NOT WRITE ON THE CREDIT CARD RECEIPT "WHITE STRETCH FOR 10 ADULTS,LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD CAR",,,AND A DRIVER WITH A CLEAN RECORD,,,NEVER INCLUDE A GRAT FOR THE DRIVER AS MOST COMPANIES PROBABLY STEAL SOME OR MOST,,,I DO NOT KNOW OF ONE LIMO COMPANY IN THE S.F. BAY AREA THAT PAYS OVERTIME ,BY LAW,,,THEY WILL ALL SAY THAT FED RULES APPLY,,,WHELL, I TOOK MY LAST BOSS TO THE STATE LABOR COMMISSIONER AND WAS TREATED LIKE A FELON VS VICTIM, BUT I WON, AND THEN WAS FORCED TO SIGN A SETTLEMENT WITH GAG ORDER, BUT I GOT 3 YEARS BACK PAY AND INTEREST AND PENALTY,,,A GAG ORDER JUST LETS THE CRIMINALS REMAIN HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC,,,YOU MUST HAVE ALL EVIDENCE IN YOUR OWN HANDWRITTING,NO CO. PAPERWORK, LIKE TIMECARDS,,,CONVERT TO YOUR OWN HANDWRITTING AND ESTIMATE IF YOU NEED TO,,,SOME LAW FIRMS LIKE LA RAZA WILL DO THE LEGAL PAPERS FOR ONLY $20,,,AND ASK FOR A CUT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LET THEM PUSH YOU TO SETTLE FOR JUST THE LEGAL O.T. PAY,,,AT MY NEXT JOB, BUSES, MY CAR WAS HIT AND RUN 3 TIMES PARKED ON THE STREET,,,SUCH IS THIS WILD WEST LAWLESS OR UNENFORCED BADLAND,,,
WITH CHARTER BUSES, I KNOW 5TH DOWN IN SENORITY COMMERCIAL DRIVERS WHO WORK 125 HOURS PER WEEK, EVERY WEEK,,,WAY WAY ILLEGAL,,AND UNSAFE,,, AND THE STATE CHP COPS WILL TELL YOU HOW TO FORGE -FALSIFY YOUR FED DOT LOGBOOK SO THAT YOU CAN USE ALL YOUR LEGAL DRIVING HOURS AND YOUR LEGAL STANDBY HOURS AND THEN USE YOUR OFF DUTY HOURS AS MORE STANDBY HOURS,EVEN THO WE ARE TO HAVE 10 HOURS OFF THE CLOCK,,,AND IT USE TO BE JUST LAST YEAR ONLY 8 HOURS OFF THE CLOCK, THO IT IS NOT WELL ENFORCED,,,THUS EVERY BIG BUS YOU SEE ON THE ROAD OR FREEWAY IS A HIGHLY POTENTIAL SLEEPY BOMB, BECAUSE THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WILL NOT GENERALLY AND UNIFORMALLY AND FAIRLY ENFORCE EXISTING OVERTIME LAWS,,,
NOW SOME WILL SAY WE GOT RID OF GOVERNOR DAVIS BECAUSE HE AND THE STATE LEGISTATURE AND THE ENERGY INDUSTRY MISLED AND LIED TO US ABOUT THE BENEFIT AND REDUCED COST (LIE) OF ENERGY DEREGULATION,,,I AM GLAD HE WAS THE FIRST EVER GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE HE TOOK AWAY OUR 9TH HOUR OF OVERTIME IN A COWARDLY FASHION BACKROOM COMMITTEE,,,THO WE STILL HAVE THE 41 HR OF OVERTIME, THO IT SEEMS TO BE IN NAME ONLY,,,
THERE ARE CHARTER AND TOUR BUS COMPANIES THAT GET AWAY WITH NOT REPLACING 2 LUG NUTS ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL ,,,FOR WEEKS,,,IN CALIFORNIA,,,,AND THERE WAS A BEER DELIVERY COMPANY IN SAN FRANCISCO THAT WOULD NOT PAY A MECHANIC TO DO PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON THEIR FLEET OF LARGE BEER TRUCKS ,,,TO SAVE MONEY, MORE PROFIT,,,SO THAT I HAD 2, TWO RUNAWAY LARGE BIG 3 BRAND BEER TRUCKS ON THE HILLS OF SAN FRANCISCO, WITH NO WAY OF STOPPING,BECAUSE THE REAR AIR POT DIAPHRAGMS WERE TOO OLD AND SHOT FULL OF HOLES TO FUNCTION,,,
HOPEFULLY, SOME OTHER STATE TAKES BETTER CARE OF ITS RESIDENTS AND TAXPAYERS, THAN CALIFORNIA,,,
