Cass Gualvez used to be a coordinator at UHW in Los Angeles. She was a little high-strung, and very particular about her coffee, but everything was peachy as long as she had organizers to wait on her every need, and Amado David and her husband Greg Maron to take care of her.When Greg and Amado were gone from UHW, Cass hung on sadly for a couple of months and then quit. She wound up working with Scott Courtney on his extra-special International team, and last Perez heard, Courtney was keeping his staff away from Californiraq.
Something must have changed, because it appears that Cass Gualvez is now in charge of fighting rank-and-file workers at the Sutter hospitals. Last week, when she came upon worker leaders berating her scab organizers at Alta-Bates Summit Medical Center, an NUHW volunteer approached Cass and said, "You're a scab." To which she replied, "You don't know the half of it."
The volunteer says, "She looked scared".
Perez can be reached at the usual address with the other half of it, or if you don't know either, you can ask Cass at 510 499 8249.
