Ben Hueso's taxi cab conflict
Mr. Lopez, you think working 12-16 hours constitutes good working conditions? Or cars that have well over 200,000 miles on them? Also you're argument is baseless about racketeering, at least on the part of United Taxi Workers. Please provide more information about what you mean by this? Additionally, are you a permit holder?— May 24, 2013 12:51 p.m.
Ben Hueso's taxi cab conflict
Mr. Lopez, you are extremely mistaken. United Taxi Workers and Unified Taxi are completely separate groups. UTWSD does not collect thousands of dollars from taxi workers with the promise of permits. UTWSD has monthly membership dues of $10 a month or the option for voluntary FREE membership. The majority of the low wage drivers volunteer and are NOT paid. United Taxi Workers is also not actively lobbying for new permits and Mikaiil has never appointed himself to "administer" them. United Taxi Workers is a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization with many partnerships in the immigrant community. We do not take advantage of drivers and in fact make it our mission to protect them. You obviously have an agenda and don't want to recognize the fact that the taxi industry is unsafe. Please refer to this independent study by San Diego State University and the Center on Policy Initiatives. http://onlinecpi.org/reports/driven-to-despair/ You can not argue with facts. If you would like any further information about United Taxi Workers of San Diego please refer to our website at www.utwsd.org. Have a great day.— May 24, 2013 12:46 p.m.
Video: "Why I Need Nursing Care"
This video and article shows how state budget cuts literally threaten people's lives!! Raul, as well as every human being, deserve to have the medical care they need!!! Refusing to give Raul a heater for the ventilator on his chair so that he can breath and cutting his hours so he wouldn't have someone to help in an emergency is not acceptable!! Raul could be your son, your brother, your husband, your friend, or even you!! Thank you to San Diego Reader and Dave Rice for supporting this vital cause!— March 21, 2012 12:06 a.m.
