(clapping.) it is no sweet we're no some tense negotiations would you right now with a our labor partners none of that stops us from the work we do everyday and we talk to each other all the time and for those of you who don't know her teresa is a nurse assistant at laguna honda hospital and a lot of people,

you know, when laguna honda hospital was under threat and all the work that went into saving that very important historic facility protecting fragile people teresa is a i am reintroducing today the workers inside the laguna honda hospital for employers and in the correct me if i am wrong o congress things i don't know but about please welcome teresa. >> all right. (clapping.) good morning all and a pleasure to be here on this circumstances yes we're a fighting with the negotiations and? that is a necessary and positive thing uplifting and helping workers i have a whole bunch of things written but i'm going to speak

from my heart i have three minutes i'll make that quick i'm proud to see this career center because for years um, when i became a leader in san francisco and when i became the vice president of one of the presidents of f c i index one of the things that was up in my mind how do we support workers not just the contract but how do we uplift workers and create that opportunity where every work can know whether ours is a generator or nurse whatever you can chief your highest dream you're highest goal in our career arrest or other fields you can make a transition and

that's where you were born department of police accountability matter who you love didn't matter the color of our skin does matter (clapping.) those things are not things that we control. and those things should not be used against us so when i started, you know, getting seriously involved in the leadership i kept wondering and i actually reached out to the city i work with lou i can't think and with a whole bunch of leaders in the room um, in trying to start thinking though how do we create this pathway and this uplifting resource and opportunities that tells every working they can be what we wanted to be if you want to remain and generator no shame. >> so i'm from jamaica and,

you know, one of the things that was the most painful thing for me was to watch my mom working in a food truck i'm an only child and my mom is a single mother. my mom worked in a food truck for 20 years and one day she takes two buses to work. and one day um, it was one hundred and 60 people working in the food truck they made wine and vinegar things like that and manufacturing locations in jamaica but let mow get to say my mom and one hundred and 60 workers show up to the fact and involved in working there between 10 and 20 years my mom wasn't was one of those and the

fact was closed. they said we sold the business. after 20 years never late for work. never called in sick. my mom had no pension. no healthcare, nothing. she had to start from scratch and washed people clothes and did anything she could to hustle to make a living outside of that she bought a house i went to one of the best high schools and did a great job in you can't can and choose to come to america i'm one of the few immigrants gets to do that i choose to come to america i say it as an budget for my kids to have great chance of college and came here got a

job worked for the insurance destroy and took the first job i could get and became a nurse and get the licenses worked at one of the most stellar institutions in the city and in the country laguna honda is and i know at the same time went to san francisco state. finished (clapping.) my first degree, you know, and then because i have to figure out working and earning a living i did the university of phoenix and did a masters this is the pathway many of us have to take and at that time i had to do that half the time doing homework and driving because i had to move to sacramento because i couldn't afford to live in the city no more but

this was the story of an average working (clapping.) . okay. >> and so i don't need to preach teu but to say this career center is some of the intrinsic and issues and barriers at least that's my hope we're creating that have to implement and make that work but also on my heart i know that if this is not right we will promote workers we will overcome the um, the rave buildings of racism and open people's eyes and you can do that your a single mother and struggling for work we can found a pathway to make that happen in 10 to one we

created the contract with the program in our contract to help works to go to school and feel safe that in itself is goodbye so many other barriers babying sitting how do you do all those things and how do i earn, you know, the full living how do you have someone to help you to catch not going to school in 10 years i see a career center as that opportunity to open that pathway to remove the barriers and to give each person a chance one last thing a good education creates generational wealth and not forget about that as a black woman i know we have to work ten times harder and as people of color we know that is always the

struggle to ride but the bottom line we slavery should have killed us removed us. look at her? yes who knew; right? (clapping.) look at me, i'm running one of the biggest unions in this country up and coming those are because we continue to fight we are resilient and we believe in ourselves let's give all the workers that same chance and opportunity. thank you. >> (clapping.) >> wow. >> thank you, terry is a. >> next, we have up the special assistant to the big manager of northern california district council of labor an u layoffs title we know him as

vince and a friend of mine and he's the heart and soul along with teresa males or females us in the direction of any quality training so vince (clapping.) . thank you very much. and thank you, teresa for covering everything it that needs to be covered i'm going to talk really, really quickly a native san franciscan and left in 2020 don't have the same satire about leaving the district but give us a appreciative and the perspective is this place is great i look forward to coming back here about relationships i mean did relationships we have together with one another is something to focus on that's how we get things done; right?

focus on solution like this urgent here you're in the front row those are messages being sent by lynching and putting workforce in the front role that's why i wanted to be here work together carol and chris and julia a privilege for me to come back here and work and i'm not with the local union anymore and carmen chiu, i know who my friends are we we need something we don't ask for stuff for ourselves but people we represent so when i go to carmen chu hey she's like oh, but she trusts me enough and know we're trying to doing the right thing and making this citywide and recognized by all (clapping.)
