After 39 Years, 120 Stagehands, Janitors, Building Engineers on the Sidewalk at Great Western Forum
Faithful Central Bible Church, the Forum's Owner, Won't Meet with Terminated Workers

SMG, the multimillion-dollar corporate bargaining agent hired by Faithful Central Bible Church to manage the Forum, has taken an openly anti-worker stance -- after a friendly 39-year history at the Forum.

First to take the hit were the Building Engineers, forced to walk away last year following lower and lower wages. Next, some 60 janitors represented by SEIU 1877 were out of work in February when the service contract with their employer, AMG, was terminated.

Then, after more than two years of negotiations, SMG fired veteran stagehands from their jobs last April. IA Local 33 members, eager to return to work, have been left on the sidewalk as replacement workers are brought in.

IA 33, SEIU 1877 and Operating Engineers 501 have joined forces to draw attention to this issue. It is important to protect good paying, middle class jobs in Inglewood. Please send a letter to the Forum’s owners, asking them to come back to the table and meet with the unions to work towards a just resolution.
