Former OC Labor Fed chief Julio Perez has a new gig — he’s teaching Chicano Studies at CSU-Long Beach — almost four years after he resigned in disgrace .
How exactly did this happen?
A number of prominent activists aware of his backstory have sent a letter to the college demanding answers. Garden Grove mayor pro-tem Kim Nguyen is leading this fight. From her Facebook account, she posted this:
The fired Orange County Labor Federation Executive Director Julio Perez made a number of mistakes leading to his dismissal. The first was his alleged sexual harassment and retaliation against a female employee as documented in the OCLF investigation o when he was suspended, he knew what he had done. He was asked to turn in his laptop and tablet and wiped both to factory settings, which gave the investigator a tip there was certainly something there (note to the OCLF: hire a forensic security specialist who can drill down to the server level IP addresses accessed by Julio Perez if you really need the evidence; that doesn’t go away.
Julio had to know he was going to lose, but stayed in the game anyway (praying for a miracle?). He should have negotiated a quiet resignation to “pursue other opportunities” or to open his own political consulting firm (where he could sexually harass anyone without a master to answer to). But instead, Julio used his protections as a union employee t fight the charges against him and lost. He’s been fired. Our sources say he gets no severance, only unpaid vacation time and access to his pension if he needs it. Good luck finding the next job.
Julio could have quietly admitted to the abuse, offered a resignation and secured a non-disparagement clause in his separate agreement which might have allowed him to be hired someone else. As he did none of that, he wears the badge of shame he deserves. Perhaps there’s a job as a porn movie critic awaiting him. He handled this as bad as anyone could have handled it.
For the young ladies who might be taking a class with “Professor” Perez, do not go alone to office hours if you need extra help. And be careful if he offers options for improving your grades.
According to Vern Nelson, this is “BULLSHIT”, because this happened nearly five years ago. Besides, his blogmate suggests these women enjoyed Julio’s “advances”.
Lot’s of room in “progressive” circles for assholes like them.
When asked about Vern and Donna’s vulgar texts to a stranger. Dr. Moreno quipped “Not a big deal”. Yet he vilified Jordan Brandman for his equally offensive tweets.
Maybe Brandon Pho can get to the bottom of this juxtaposition…..NOT
They were tweets — much more public than a private text. That doesn’t excuse Jordan. I still remember Greg doxxing Danielle from OCYD and suggesting that Julio’s definition of porn was somehow different than everyone else’s
If you look closely at the picture of Julio in Brea I think you can see Diamond scouring for food in the Cha Cha’s dumpster.
What is the connection to Julio? This where Jose Moreno drops $350. On dinner with Lorena and the girls while simultaneously asking for donations to his go fund me to pay for his trip with Ruelas.
Meanwhile Vern, Greg and Mark are cashing in cans for Varsity burgers (GAD and MRD could afford to lay off the double patties).
Talk about the blind, deaf and dumb (and gullible) following the manipulative Julio and Jose cabal.
Professor Perez is one of the best instructors I have ever encountered. His teaching method is different in that he allows us to freely speak our mind and constantly reminds us that we are important and that we are capable. He has guest speakers who were in our shoes, at one point, speak to us and inspire us to be someone in this world. Recently, one of his guest speakers even made me tear up because of how courageous she was to speak up about mental health. It’s not just a politics class, it’s more than that, it’s a real world scenario type of class. Removing him from CSULB would be a shame because incoming students will miss out on a life-changing learning experience
You didn’t work for him. Hope you get A’s and don’t have him suggest how you can improve your grade. Ask him why he wiped the hard drive and tablet to avoid evident errors being revealed. Learn from someone else
Being sexually harassed/assaulted would be pretty life-changing, too
Over at the unemployed blog AKA OJB, Greg is doubling down on his defense of Julio, downplaying Julio’s offenses as “workplace banter”.
Meanwhile, his drunken colleague Vern offered his attempted rape and his unsolicited pornographic tweets as “Sour Grapes”.
Are you F$@king kidding me? Now you have Karen Hinks giving Victor, Greg and the woman hating Jeff LeTournue championing sexual abuse.
Pray Tell Karen. Do you think Julio Perez teaching young women is a good idea?
I am given to understand Jose signed a letter in support of Julio to secure the position.
So while Vern claims this is “nothing” and predicted Julio would soundly defeat Lou Correa in a primary challenge. I would offer a partisan political blogger hosted by Felons, Drunks, Lazy unemployed keyboard cowboys, wait till the mailers hit!
In yet another disgusting example of Vern and Greg’s misogynist behavior, Vern is defending the DISGUSTING, TROUBLING account set forth against Greg Rath’s. Calling him “a good man” and describing giving him the benefit of the doubt.
This reminds me of Mrs. Nelsons tearful, uncomfortable defense of Vern in his attempted RAPE of Lori Galloway at Chapter One.
When pray tell will Ada Briceno, Karen Hinks (who calls Greg, Vern Victor, Julio and Jose “HERO’s on women’s issues????) and other RESPONSIBLE, SENSIBLE politicians will shut these FILTHY JERKS DOWN.
Read This, then ask Vern Patrick Nelson and Greg Avery Diamond HOW YOU CAN DEFEND THIS ANIMAL, regardless of his political affiliation.
Greg Raths, Vern and Greg all have anger mgmt issues. Raths is not fit for any office
And Vern Nelson, with Five DUIs, is suggesting I post stuff while drunk is laughable. Thanks friends for forwarding his comments. Ask him if he’s figured out a Twitter yet
At some point those guys (Their favored elected included) are going to have to face their comments. When Julio Perez a known creep is stalking FB pages of teenage track runners,
MY QUESTION IS THIS:
You may not like Dianne Harkey,Miguel PAULINO, Mayor Sidhu etc… but is Greg Raths preferable? Julio Perez? Eric or even Vern himself??
I guess Vern would prefer rape and sexual abuse minor in comparison to political disagreements.
The clowncar is filled with guys with weak partners and NO CHILDREN.
Survey a hundred Father’s 99% will oppose the molesters.Not the OJB.
