And because you \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Jean-Quan-Website-Hacked-132877688.html\">just can't be too sure these days\u003c/a>, I called them up to verify that the letter is genuine. The conversation went something like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hi I'm calling up to verify something you posted on your web si- \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's real.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Are you getting a lot of calls ask-\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don't know how many times I've said that in the last few minutes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the letter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We represent the 645 police officers who work hard every day to protect the citizens of Oakland. We, too, are the 99% fighting for better working conditions, fair treatment and the ability to provide a living for our children and families. We are severely understaffed with many City beats remaining unprotected by police during the day and evening hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As your police officers, we are confused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, October 25th, we were ordered by Mayor Quan to clear out the encampments at Frank Ogawa Plaza and to keep protesters out of the Plaza. We performed the job that the Mayor’s Administration asked us to do, being fully aware that past protests in Oakland have resulted in rioting, violence and destruction of property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on Wednesday, October 26th, the Mayor allowed protesters back in – to camp out at the very place they were evacuated from the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To add to the confusion, the Administration issued a memo on Friday, October 28th to all City workers in support of the “Stop Work” strike scheduled for Wednesday, giving all employees, except for police officers, permission to take the day off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s hundreds of City workers encouraged to take off work to participate in the protest against “the establishment.” But aren’t the Mayor and her Administration part of the establishment they are paying City employees to protest? Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is all very confusing to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a message has been sent to all police officers: Everyone, including those who have the day off, must show up for work on Wednesday. This is also being paid for by Oakland taxpayers. Last week’s events alone cost Oakland taxpayers over $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mayor and her Administration are beefing up police presence for Wednesday’s work strike they are encouraging and even “staffing,” spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for additional police presence – at a time when the Mayor is also asking Oakland residents to vote on an $80 parcel tax to bail out the City’s failing finances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these mixed messages are confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We love Oakland and just want to do our jobs to protect Oakland residents. We respectfully ask the citizens of Oakland to join us in demanding that our City officials, including Mayor Quan, make sound decisions and take responsibility for these decisions. Oakland is struggling – we need real leaders NOW who will step up and lead – not send mixed messages. Thank you for listening.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 4:20 p.m.\u003c/em> KQED's Mina Kim interviewed Sgt. Dom Arotzarena of the Oakland Police Officer's Association about the letter the organization sent out today. Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the point of releasing this letter?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That we're not far from the 99% of the people of the Occupy Wall Street movement. We want to support their cause and allow them to peacefully protest. It seems like we've been placed in a position that maybe we're part of the system or part of the problem and that's not the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>We're being told to clear out a park and then three days later, it's like we were never there...\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I want people to know that on Oct 25, police officers were following orders. We've been placed in a bad spot by our own city by allowing city employees to participate in the strike against Oakland tomorrow and at the same time telling police officers they have to cancel their days off and come into work that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does this put you in a difficult position?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You're telling part of your employees to join in the protest and you're telling the other part not to. We're getting an unfair shake being looked on as oppressors. We're being unfairly made scapegoats for a lot of stuff that's happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are you hoping your open letter will do? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We want support from our citizens. You hear from a small percentage of people who constantly criticize us. We want to hear from the citizens who support us. We know there's a lot of support for us here in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We feel there's confusing orders that have been given from the mayor's office. We want the city to get on track and make decisions and take responsibility for the decision they make. There has been some responsibility taken at the mayor's level; at the same time there's confusing messages. We're being told to clear out a park and then three days later, it's like we were never there, we're back to where we were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're part of this community, we're part of the 99%, we want support form the community we serve. This letter was for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know the business community is struggling in the city hall area. The protest is not hurting Wall Street, it's hurting our city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/01/video-occupy-oakland-announces-call-for-general-strike/\">\u003cstrong>Click here for more on Occupy Oakland's call for a general strike tomorrow\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

We, too, are the 99% fighting for better working conditions, fair treatment and the ability to provide a living for our children and families. We are severely understaffed with many City beats remaining unprotected by police during the day and evening hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As your police officers, we are confused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, October 25th, we were ordered by Mayor Quan to clear out the encampments at Frank Ogawa Plaza and to keep protesters out of the Plaza. We performed the job that the Mayor’s Administration asked us to do, being fully aware that past protests in Oakland have resulted in rioting, violence and destruction of property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on Wednesday, October 26th, the Mayor allowed protesters back in – to camp out at the very place they were evacuated from the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To add to the confusion, the Administration issued a memo on Friday, October 28th to all City workers in support of the “Stop Work” strike scheduled for Wednesday, giving all employees, except for police officers, permission to take the day off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s hundreds of City workers encouraged to take off work to participate in the protest against “the establishment.” But aren’t the Mayor and her Administration part of the establishment they are paying City employees to protest? Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is all very confusing to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a message has been sent to all police officers: Everyone, including those who have the day off, must show up for work on Wednesday. This is also being paid for by Oakland taxpayers. Last week’s events alone cost Oakland taxpayers over $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mayor and her Administration are beefing up police presence for Wednesday’s work strike they are encouraging and even “staffing,” spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for additional police presence – at a time when the Mayor is also asking Oakland residents to vote on an $80 parcel tax to bail out the City’s failing finances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these mixed messages are confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We love Oakland and just want to do our jobs to protect Oakland residents. We respectfully ask the citizens of Oakland to join us in demanding that our City officials, including Mayor Quan, make sound decisions and take responsibility for these decisions. Oakland is struggling – we need real leaders NOW who will step up and lead – not send mixed messages. Thank you for listening.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 4:20 p.m.\u003c/em> KQED's Mina Kim interviewed Sgt. Dom Arotzarena of the Oakland Police Officer's Association about the letter the organization sent out today. Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the point of releasing this letter?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That we're not far from the 99% of the people of the Occupy Wall Street movement. We want to support their cause and allow them to peacefully protest. It seems like we've been placed in a position that maybe we're part of the system or part of the problem and that's not the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>We're being told to clear out a park and then three days later, it's like we were never there...\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I want people to know that on Oct 25, police officers were following orders. We've been placed in a bad spot by our own city by allowing city employees to participate in the strike against Oakland tomorrow and at the same time telling police officers they have to cancel their days off and come into work that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does this put you in a difficult position?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You're telling part of your employees to join in the protest and you're telling the other part not to. We're getting an unfair shake being looked on as oppressors. We're being unfairly made scapegoats for a lot of stuff that's happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are you hoping your open letter will do? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We want support from our citizens. You hear from a small percentage of people who constantly criticize us. We want to hear from the citizens who support us. We know there's a lot of support for us here in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We feel there's confusing orders that have been given from the mayor's office. We want the city to get on track and make decisions and take responsibility for the decision they make. There has been some responsibility taken at the mayor's level; at the same time there's confusing messages. We're being told to clear out a park and then three days later, it's like we were never there, we're back to where we were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're part of this community, we're part of the 99%, we want support form the community we serve. This letter was for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know the business community is struggling in the city hall area. The protest is not hurting Wall Street, it's hurting our city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/01/video-occupy-oakland-announces-call-for-general-strike/\">\u003cstrong>Click here for more on Occupy Oakland's call for a general strike tomorrow\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The decision for a general strike was made by the people of Oakland themselves in a grassroots non-hierarchical process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Nov 2 the people of Oakland will strike and show our refusal to continue creating wealth for the 1 %. We also call for a day of action in which the circulation of capital is blockaded, students walk out of their schools, and people stage various occupations of schools, foreclosed homes, workplaces, and self-organize to take back control of our lives from the 1 %. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupy Oakland has called for all banks and corporations to close for the day of the general strike or demonstrators will march on them. Demonstrators also plan to blockade the port of Oakland on Nov 2.

Instead, we encourage members to use legitimate time off to stand in support of Occupy Oakland and join the day’s events at the “Peaceful Day of Action.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>SEIU 1021 also addresses the city’s view on employee participation: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>City of Oakland Workers: The City has agreed that workers may use a day of comp time, vacation time, a floating holiday or leave without pay in order to participate.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>We obtained what appears to be the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/11/oakalndworknotice1.pdf\">\u003cstrong>memo from City Administrator Deanna Santana\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> (pdf) that authorizes the time off. It is addressed to Agency Directors/Managers and says that SEIU 1021 requested that…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp> “…all represented employees be released to either participate in the “Stop Work” action or not be required to come to work for health and safety reasons. Although no other miscellanesous unions have approached me, this directive is applicable to them as well. After careful consideration, I have decided all represented employees who want to avail themselves of the opportunity to participate shall have the following options…\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The memo goes on to list the type of paid time off that employees can use. It also says if employees have no applicable time off, they can use authorized leave without pay. Employees can also leave work early after 3 p.m. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter also cautions that “appropriate staffing for public safety personnel” must be maintained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Mina Kim talked to Josie Camacho, executive secretary and treasurer of the Alameda Labor Council, about labor’s participation tomorrow. She said the council is “asking and urging our various members in our different unions to do various things within their ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re going to work, wear ‘we’re 99 percenters,’ Camacho said. “If you’re coming downtown to ciy hall, join the organized bank action. We’re converging at 5pm at city hall, and a number of our unions are going to be feeding everyone that comes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about actually going on strike, as the Occupiers are calling for? Mina Kim asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what’s happening is that just like in the Occupy movement, there is a process of consensus. Each union, before they do call for a strike, is clear on what the issues are, they have tried everything they can to address those issues, and they take a vote. What we’re saying to people is we have a democratic process in our various unions, and just like in the (Occupy) assembly process, they need to have a voice in that decision-making. If workers just decided to walk off their job, certainly they can do that, but when they come back they may not have a job. And I don’t’ think that’s what the Occupiers want.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the city released an \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca/groups/cityadministrator/documents/pressrelease/oak031990.pdf\">advisory\u003c/a> yesterday stating that all city offices and services will remain open. “We are not urging businesses to close,” the memo says. “Instead, we advise that they use common sense precautions.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advisory goes on: “The City is addressing and monitoring all aspects of Occupy Oakland’s proposed activities for Wednesday in an effort to minimize disruption safety and to promote peace and safety. We are communicating with merchants around Ogawa Plaza and downtown businesses to let them know what precautions the city is taking and to encourage them to monitor the City’s communication channels…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday Cy Musiker talked to Fred Glass, who teaches labor history at City College of San Francisco, about the history of general strikes, including one in San Francisco in 1934 and one in Oakland in 1946. \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201110311730/a\">Listen here\u003c/a> or below:\u003c/p>\n\n",

Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is all very confusing to us.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Occupy Oakland site lists five local unions that have endorsed the strike, including \u003ca href=\"http://seiu1021.org/story/november-2-join-oakland%E2%80%99s-peaceful-day-action\">SEIU Local 1021\u003c/a>, which posted the following on its site:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>To avoid misinterpretation: Occupy Oakland has called for a “general strike,” but SEIU 1021 is not asking any members to “go on strike” — that would be a violation of many SEIU 1021 contracts. Instead, we encourage members to use legitimate time off to stand in support of Occupy Oakland and join the day’s events at the “Peaceful Day of Action.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>SEIU 1021 also addresses the city’s view on employee participation: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>City of Oakland Workers: The City has agreed that workers may use a day of comp time, vacation time, a floating holiday or leave without pay in order to participate.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>We obtained what appears to be the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/11/oakalndworknotice1.pdf\">\u003cstrong>memo from City Administrator Deanna Santana\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> (pdf) that authorizes the time off. It is addressed to Agency Directors/Managers and says that SEIU 1021 requested that…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp> “…all represented employees be released to either participate in the “Stop Work” action or not be required to come to work for health and safety reasons. Although no other miscellanesous unions have approached me, this directive is applicable to them as well. After careful consideration, I have decided all represented employees who want to avail themselves of the opportunity to participate shall have the following options…\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The memo goes on to list the type of paid time off that employees can use. It also says if employees have no applicable time off, they can use authorized leave without pay. Employees can also leave work early after 3 p.m. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter also cautions that “appropriate staffing for public safety personnel” must be maintained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Mina Kim talked to Josie Camacho, executive secretary and treasurer of the Alameda Labor Council, about labor’s participation tomorrow. She said the council is “asking and urging our various members in our different unions to do various things within their ability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re going to work, wear ‘we’re 99 percenters,’ Camacho said. “If you’re coming downtown to ciy hall, join the organized bank action. We’re converging at 5pm at city hall, and a number of our unions are going to be feeding everyone that comes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what about actually going on strike, as the Occupiers are calling for? Mina Kim asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what’s happening is that just like in the Occupy movement, there is a process of consensus. Each union, before they do call for a strike, is clear on what the issues are, they have tried everything they can to address those issues, and they take a vote. What we’re saying to people is we have a democratic process in our various unions, and just like in the (Occupy) assembly process, they need to have a voice in that decision-making. If workers just decided to walk off their job, certainly they can do that, but when they come back they may not have a job. And I don’t’ think that’s what the Occupiers want.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the city released an \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca/groups/cityadministrator/documents/pressrelease/oak031990.pdf\">advisory\u003c/a> yesterday stating that all city offices and services will remain open. “We are not urging businesses to close,” the memo says. “Instead, we advise that they use common sense precautions.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advisory goes on: “The City is addressing and monitoring all aspects of Occupy Oakland’s proposed activities for Wednesday in an effort to minimize disruption safety and to promote peace and safety. We are communicating with merchants around Ogawa Plaza and downtown businesses to let them know what precautions the city is taking and to encourage them to monitor the City’s communication channels…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
