Blacks Blast Oakland Raiders Hiring Plan For Las Vegas NFL Stadium
The Oakland Raiders have to complete 14 primary agreement documents before financing for and construction of the Las Vegas Stadium can start.
One of the docs is called the “Community Benefits Agreement” or a kind of hiring plan and guidelines for helping the minority underserved people of Southern Nevada. Basically, it’s supposed to make sure blacks get jobs. A draft of it was presented at yesterday’s Las Vegas Stadium Authority Meeting, but before the matter was brought up, a number of African American laborers came forward to express their displeasure with the draft, saying that blacks are left out of it and will not get jobs.
The most horrible portion of this video was when Tommy White, the executive over the 872 Local Union, tried to use Roberts Rules of Order to silence a black woman who came forward to speak on how (she claims) his organization has worked against minority involvement in the Raiders Stadium.
The fact is the woman was speaking on matters related to the Community Benefits Plan that was on the agenda, but both White and Authority President Steven Hill tried to say she was not doing that – she was.
Video is valuable to show that which Las Vegas’ media will not report on.
