Speakers talked about the continual workplace bullying and terrorism against SFMuni TWU 250A members.
The MTA which has the tape turned it over the the SF Police Department which is sitting on it.
Dorian Maxwell and fired OSHA whistleblower at the SF MTA reported that he had received a CA Labor Commissioner order to go back to work but the MTA managers and Mayor Ed Lee have blocked his return to work. Other speakers discussed the racist component of this attack on the mostly Black and Latino drivers of the MTA. The union advised Ramero not to talk to the press and only called for the release of the tape after this rally was announced.
