The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission lacks standards. It is also the most corrupt department among all the San Francisco City Departments. The most corrupt is the Water Department - backed by the General Manager of SFPUC and other corrupt crooks.
The SFPUC - the Water Department is known for corruption, and the managers gang up on hard-working employees and fire them if SFPUC workers bring to the managers' attention atrocities that should not be tolerated.
Steve Richie, William Taehan, Frank Jordon from the SF Water Department, and Joy Chen from the Human Resources - ganged up on Joe King, Conrad King, and Adlofo Padilla, and laborers who belong to SF UNION 261.
Every ploy was used to harm these innocent workers, and the ploys were used with intent.
Working underground, thirty to forty feet below ground, requires special training known as Confined Space training.
The three laborers belonging to Union 261 were targeted because they brought to San Franciscans' attention the abject corruption at the SFPUC and its leader, Dennis Herrera.
Steve Richie, William Taehan, and Frank Jordon must be fired. There have been too many corrupt atrocities filed before, and these three managers have been protected by the higher-ups.
The "Confined Space " issue was linked to "deferred maintenance"; the plumbers refused to undertake the project.
The plumbers demanded a pay increase and refused to undertake the maintenance and cleanup of the Reservoir, thirty to forty feet underground.
For starters, the workers were sent without training and special equipment to carry out the hazardous work. As I said, the trained plumbers did not want to work in the hazardous, confined space.
The plumbers asked for a pay increase and were told by SFPUC Management that this would not happen.
The managers then enticed the laborers to take on the project without training, and put the laborers who should have been protected by Union 261 in harm's way.
It is a shame that the laborers who were fired without cause went to Union 261, only to be told it could not help them.
The truth be told, the laborers paid their dues for years and were denied help, and favored the actions of the very corrupt SFPUC managers.
Putting the laborers to work with intent is a crime.
SFPUC managers have been caught red-handed lying and cheating - dereliction of duty - failed to maintain standards.
The filthy conditions at the many reservoirs in San Francisco, supposedly providing clean drinking water, are contaminated - the money in the millions set aside to maintain and keep the reservoirs clean is filthy and a health hazard.
The SFPUC was treated with disdain and traumatized, and the SFPU Commissioners are complicit too - they have been told the truth and refuse to help the traumatized laborers - Joe King, Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla.
The laborers were not sent for training - they were made to clean and remove the two feet of sludge that had accumulated and had not been cleaned for decades.
The laborers were forced to sweep the sludge with brooms and other tools like squeezes, which put the workers in harm's way.
The floors were lined with slime and were prone to slipping, as happened to the SF Public Utilities laborers.
When the lead laborer, Joe King, went to the managers, William Taehan and Frank Jordon, they were fired.
The managers from the SF Water Department enticed untrained laborers to work on "Confined Space " projects. This is a crime.
I appeared before the SF Public Utilities Commission on October 28, 2025, and provided my testimony to the Commissioners:

The SFPUC is a corrupt organization, more specifically, the SFPUC Water Department - led by Steven Richie, next by William Taehan, and Frank Jordon.
There is clear empirical data to fire the three corrupt managers who have ruined the lives of many innocent workers.
Each of the managers favors nepotism and is racist to the core.
It does not help that the General Manager of the SFPUC, Dennis Herrera, and the SF City Attorney's office, led by David Chiu, have ganged up on the innocent SFPUC laborers, firing them and denying them fair play and justice.
Hundreds of pages of fake information are prepared by the SF City Attorney lawyers - they have created a boilerplate model - to harm innocent workers - and the time has come to go to the Feds - and bring these crooks to book - using the RICO ACT.
My team gave a presentation to the SF Inspector General, and she saw the empirical data - complete with dirty, filthy sludge in our reservoirs - contaminating the drinking water that is pumped and distributed to San Franciscans.
Recently, attempts have been made to clean up the University Mound Reservoir - and I hope they do a good job - for years, the drinking water from the University Mound was contaminated, as a result of deferred maintenance.
It is time for the Feds to inspect the reservoirs all over San Francisco to ensure they meet standards.
No harm should come to the citizens of San Francisco, and they should not pay a lot for drinking water only to be hoodwinked in broad daylight.
I call upon Greg Wegner, the SF Controller, to intercede on behalf of the innocent workers who were fired and to restore all the benefits they have lost.
I call upon SF CalOsha to inspect the reservoirs and get back to me, as I have played a key role and invested a lot of my own money, to see that fair play and justice rule supreme.
It is simply wrong to fire innocent workers - and ruin their lives.
It is wrong for the City and County to state in writing that they cannot seek employment with the City and County of San Francisco.
We, the people, united, will never, ever be defeated.
The SFPU Commissioners had better get their act together and stop rubber-stamping and encouraging abject corruption.
It is time for the many commissions that just rubber-stamp and do not represent the taxpayers - they play second fiddle to the corrupt manager crooks who must be fired.
