It is with great concern that we call on you to respect the rights of working people and immigrants at your workplace. In the United States, people are Francisco R. Garcia afforded the liberty to make choices without coercions or intimidation. It has come to our attention that the employees of Mission Hope Day Program, the organization where you serve as Executive Director, have decided to organize to form a union with SEIU Local 1021. Under United States law, workers at Mission Hope Day Program are legally protected when forming unions; the laws of this country are clear, we urge you to respect them. The Labor Council For Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) represents 2 million Latino trade unionists nationwide. Our organization works closely with community groups, politicians, and religious leaders to advance the social, economic, political, human and civil rights of all Latinos.

We call on you, Juanita Nimfa Gamez, to respect the rights of your workers. As an agency that provides services to the disabled, Mission Hope Day Program is funded by taxpayer money. LCLAA has been informed that you, Juanita Gamez, are using taxpayer money to hire a union buster to silence your Paramo Hernandez workforce.

Vallense@aol.com This is unacceptable. We urge you to reconsider your approach as Executive Director. The Labor Council For Latin American Advancement will keep a P.O. Box 245913 vigilant eye as the workers at Mission Hope Day Program organize to form a Sacramento, CA union. We are calling on you to do what is right.
