“Good Afternoon Local 350, this is Supervisor Shamman Walton here in San Francisco. I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your hard work during this pandemic time. I know you’re out there making sure that everything is clean, and everything is safe, handling materials and hazardous waste, and garbage in our streets, and I just want you to know how much we appreciate you here in the District 10 office, but in all of San Francisco.

Without the work that you’re doing, we cannot continue to keep our communities clean, and you do it with pride and dignity even during this time period, where we have a major pandemic across this country. You all are on the front lines making sure that we all receive services that are necessary for our survival. I can’t thank you enough for what you do on a day to day basis, taking time away from your families, taking time away from friends to make sure that you continue to be out in the community doing the work.

So we salute you, and we just want you to know that we are proud of you and could not ask for a better union, better membership, then the work that you all do at Local 350. Thank you so much for your dedicated service here in San Francisco.”
