SAN
FRANCISCO, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Robert Sandoval, President of
Teamsters Local 350, has been appointed and sworn in as a
commissioner of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission. Sandoval
is one of 11 commissioners appointed by Mayor London Breed.
"It's an honor and I look forward to bringing my expertise and
background in labor and within the Teamsters organization to better
serve the residents of the City and County of San Francisco," Sandoval said. "I hope to
bring a unique perspective—the perspective of labor—to this
commission. Human rights, labor rights, and civil rights have
historically always been interconnected, and at their core, aim to
ensure dignity, equality, respect, and fairness for all individuals
within society. As a commissioner, I look forward to having an
impact to enhance the working conditions and lives of all working
people."
The San Francisco Human Rights Commission works in service of
the city's anti-discrimination laws to further racial solidarity,
equity, and healing.
"Congratulations to Brother Sandoval on his appointment to this
very important commission," said Anthony M.
Rosa, Director of the Teamsters Human Rights and Diversity
Commission. "The Teamsters could not be more excited to have a seat
at the table to advocate for our rank-and-file members in
San Francisco. We are confident
that Robert Sandoval will be a
terrific addition to the commission, and he will ensure workers'
voices are heard."
