Workers report that Octavio
Velarde, who was recently fired by AFSCME Local 3299, has been hired by
Dave Regan and is busily performing his new role as SEIU-UHW’s official “hall
monitor” at Kaiser Walnut Creek Medical Center.
Workers have sighted Velarde as he eagerly patrols the
hospital’s hallways and pals around with Kaiser’s security guards. Recently, several
workers walked to a nearby department so they could eat lunch
with some co-workers. As they walked down a hallway, they noticed Octavio The Hallway Monitor following closely behind them while
speaking in hushed tones to his iPhone -- presumably to Dave Regan or Kaiser’s
security guards.

Velarde is the latest in a long line of purple hall
monitors, including Scott
Silber and “Caleb
the Creepy Bathroom Monitor” (aka, Caleb Jennings).
Sources at AFSCME say they’re not surprised by
Velarde’s new job. Before his firing, Velarde was widely disliked for obsessively monitoring
staffers inside Local 3299’s office in Los Angeles.
They say this definition of “hall monitor” fits Velarde to a “t”:
Someone who polices the halls and rats on fellow peers for petty power, self esteem and approval from elders. Self appointed judges of anything.
Check out this recent photo of Velarde inside Kaiser Walnut Creek as he
displays the tools of his trade and contemplates the heavy responsibilities
of his new position. The apple? That's what Velarde hands to the Bosses to suck up to them. The
tape? That's apparently associated with his spying against workers.
