Sean Gillis, an Oakland Fire Department EMT paramedic trainer and Vice President of IFPTE Local 21 Unit M called for an investigation of the treatment of Oscar Grant who was murdered at the Fruitville BART station. As a result he has been targeted for firing and harassment. Gillis talks about the conditions in the department and the efforts to silence him after he called for an investigation. He also discusses the atmosphere of racism and the privatization scheme being pushed by the management of the department to outsource from Merritt Community College the training of paramedics from the community to a private company AMR. Also interviewed was labor and civil rights attorney Phil Horne who is representing Sean Gillis.
This interview was conducted on June 12, 2011.
