May Day

With a firm belief that collective bargaining is vital part of a democratic republic, today's May Day news about the city's negotiations moving now into further research with an independent 3rd party is appropriate for this day of labor rights.

Let's not forget that there are hundreds of city workers, with only a fraction like former city manager Phil Cotton or former fire chief / current city council member Mark Muir who belong to the over $100,000 club.  Yet again, not just a black and white issue. So much is hidden and so much needs to be learned.  Civil liberties matter for all 99% of us.

Real humanity, justice and rights are all hard work and not just a cliched sound bite. More San Diego May Day news here.
