CEO must GO
April 4, 2011 08:30AM to 10:00AM
I need volunteers from 8:30a-10:00a on Monday the 4th. I'm trying to have a rally to put pressure on the Hart board to remove the CEO (tyrant) David Armijo. We have successfully got him on administrative leave for two weeks. Now we need him to go all together. His fate will be determined on the 4th at the board meeting located at 601 E. Kennedy Blvd(county building). Armijo has hired his friends, skipped over qualified people for promotions, gave his friends a raise, froze the pay for non management employees, fired employees who don't agree with him including myself the Union President, cut routes so they end at MLK after midnight and the list goes on and on. He must go and the board must see the public agrees. Please send this email out, get volunteers and/or volunteer yourself. Its time to take back the rights for working people and get rid of selfish executives. Thank you.
