Workers at Valley Fair Mall kept up the pressure on mall management for free employee parking, holding a rally at the main entrance along Stevens Creek Boulevard on Thursday.
Organized by San Jose State students, a small group of protesters held signs reading"Employee Parking is not a luxury item,""We are tired of being oppressed!" and"Worker over Profit!".
"The amount of disrespect that somebody has to make sure that I stay in a class where my family has grown up, I think that's what this symbolizes. It's very saddening, very oppressive for sure," said Gomez. Mall management said outside workers were leaving their cars there overnight and people headed to the airport were leaving their cars at the garages to take advantage of the free parking.On Thursday, the students stepped up the pressure, with signs and a protest along Stevens Creek Boulevard. "I can do a lot. I can pay for a portion of my education at San Jose State. I can invest in so many different companies that will make me more money in the long run.
