SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego City Council s Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods Committee sidestepped making a recommendation on a proposed ambulance services contract, instead voting to put the bid before the full council as the city awaits a report from the Office of the Independent Budget Analyst on the financial outlook for the presumptive winning bidder, Falck USA. It s hard to know what to do as someone who cares deeply about the workers when the workers are asking us to do different things, said City Councilman Stephen Whitburn, who made the motion to request an independent financial report on Falck.

Hundreds of cars packed the Padres’ tailgate parking lot in downtown San Diego Thursday not to cook hotdogs or cheer on the team but to receive holiday meals and toys for children.
Around 700 cars, many driven by unemployed workers, came to the distribution event on Thursday. Volunteers placed boxes of canned goods, sacks of potatoes, bags of apples and a large turkey in each trunk.
“It’s so heartbreaking to see this many cars, this many people … knowing how much people are really hurting,” said Nancy Sasaki, president and CEO of United Way of San Diego County, before bagging a turkey and placing it in the trunk of a car.

Keith Maddox, one of San Diego’s most powerful labor leaders, announced Wednesday that he will return home to Alabama in April after four years boosting the stability and solidarity of the region’s labor movement.
Maddox will resign his position as executive secretary-treasurer of the San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council, an umbrella organization for 136 local labor unions that consolidates their power, resources and lobbying efforts.
His departure coincides with the end of his elected term in the job, which he took over in 2017 during a tumultuous period that included in-fighting among unions and a sexual misconduct scandal involving former leader Mickey Kasparian.
