Lorena Gonzalez

Lorena Gonzalez has been a visible face of the San Diego labor movement’s resistance against anti-worker initiatives. In a city that is seeing its demographics change due to Latino immigration, labor foes are grasping at the straws of an anti-union establishment that ran the city as if the middle-class never mattered. One sign of desperation is an onslaught of ballot measures designed to eliminate public employee pensions and Project Labor Agreements in construction. Signature gatherers, paid by developers and contractors, are repeatedly misleading voters to get initiatives on the June 2012 ballot.

But, these fraudulent actors are finding it increasingly difficult to lie in the face of Gonzalez’s extraordinary campaign to inform the voters about the nature of the petitions, no matter where they go. This battle for workers is being fought in the streets, in public gatherings, in radio ads, and in front of every major store in the eight largest city in America.

As a result of bungled paid signature gathering efforts (kudos to the barrel-bottom cheapness of their approach), two major initiatives in San Diego have collapsed in one year. Still, two remain, hence Lorena’s ferocious determination to stop the initiatives. She is one of the last lines of defense against the dominion of the anti-union establishment in this and other metros in America.

The result? Online threats, intimidation, and a brick through Gonzalez’s window. According to her account:

..we need to protect our leaders and keep them safe to do their jobs....

or this will not end

help the most will also make sure she stays safe. It's the least they can do. We need more people like Ms. Gonzalez, but we don't need for her to get hurt or killed for standing up.
