“Mayor Harris and Councilmember Reid also seem more sympathetic to the plight of Duong than to that of the strikers. In response to Duong hiring strikebreakers, Harris tells the union: “He’s caught between a rock and a hard place. If he doesn’t pick up the trash, he might lose the contract.” Both Harris and Reid express concerns that the union’s demands are unreasonable. “California Waste Solutions is just a small, family-owned business trying to survive in a competitive market,” Reid says at the time. It’s later revealed that, since 1994, Duong and his associates have donated over $25,000 to the campaigns of a variety of Oakland politicians. The two top recipients of his donations are…Mayor Harris (with $6050) and Councilmember Reid (with $5250). Reid lets slip that he is also the godfather of one of Duong’s children.”
