Don Perata joined care-givers and their supporters in a rally on Thursday to protest the firing of 37 workers by the Piedmont Gardens senior home, following a working-conditions strike. None have been rehired by Piedmont Gardens, owned by Pleasanton-based American Baptist Homes of the West.
In a statement released Wednesday, Perata said "Organized unions built America's middle class: working women and men with dignified wages and working conditions. As we struggle through the biggest economic crisis for generations, we must stand by those principles or return to the harsh livelihoods that those before us fought so hard to improve."
