putting in the hours but not mi picking up a paycheck, it adds up to more than a quarter billion dollars since 2010. senior investigative reporter steven stock joins us. >> we found a quarter billion dollars in earned wages that were not paid to california workers dating back to 2010. $81 million of that stolen money involves local companies right here in the bay area. now those are the numbers from california's own labor commission, and they're claims that have gone through the process involving a judge ruling in favor of the worker and against the company. many of the cases these rulings have even been approved by a court. we also discovered that just because the courts say an employee is owed money, it doesn't necessarily mean the employee gets that money. we spoke with researchers at ucla's labor center, who say only about 17% of all the employees collect a dime, even

after the financial judgments are ruled in their favor. companies dodge the law. they walk away, go out of business, even change their names, leaving the workers unable to collect even a cent of what's legally theirs. and right now, under the law, if employers don't pay, they can get fined but that still doesn't put the wages in workers' pockets. oftentimes those fines just go ignored, leaving the employees with few options beyond getting a lawyer. now for the first time, we've obtained the entire database showing how bad this problem really is. to see for yourself, plus see our full story just go to our website nbcbayarea.com. guys, back to you. >> if you do have a tip for our investigative unit, call us at 888-996-tips or e-mail us at theunit@nbcbayarea.com. we all struggle with this problem but for teens and sleep the issue is getting worse. researchers from the university

or wrong, free will is an illusion. life is a game that plays us. >> so you don't have an answer? >> at this point, i didn't know if i was dreaming him or if he was dreaming me. also, i was 90% sure that i'd left my lincoln running with the doors unlocked. and yet somehow, i felt it was completely safe. >> did you record a voiceover for this? b what is i did. dang.

san jose's very own paulina edmonds showing she is one of the best in the world. >> a month away and she won her first major title. she tweeted out an image from the fourth continents championship in south korea, sitting atop the podium listening to the u.s. anthem. she nailed seven triple jumps to take first and take home the gold. u.s. figure skater gracie gold finished fourth. >> good showing by all. >> i'd say. warriors all-stars are headed home after a successful

showing in new york. >> kerr coached the west all-stars to a 163-158 win. both curry and tmpson started for the west in the back court. curry showing off his moves, rebound, tossing it up for a great finish. >> thompson competed in the three-point contest. curry took over the crown. it was his first ever. >> during the all-star festivities it was announced tim ha hardaway jr. and kevin johnson are among the finalists for the nba hall of fame. pretty cool. >> no doubt, they might make it in. a lot of shot calling and baulg this weekend but also the "snl" 40th anniversary, competition for eyeballs last night. good morning, your microclimate forecast. >> good morning to you. the competition is getting out to the beach as early as possible to snag that perfect spot for today. 50 degrees on the peninsula. 46 in the tri valley right now. temperatures are going to be really comfortable later on

today in the mid to upper 70s. and yes, that's 10 to 15 degrees above average. we'll have more on that as we head throughout the morning together. back to you, sam and laura. >> thanks, christina. 5:26. we continue to follow breaking news, a suspicious fire at the bay area middle school. we're live on the scene with the latest details. what we're learning about last month's deadly fire at a san francisco apartment building in the mission.

when the report came in. the police say possibly a window smash and a door pride open, happening in the cafeteria, around the corner here. you can't see it very clearly from here. volunteers are come out to give fbi fighters, water, coffee and food because it was an aggressive battle, the flames spread to the attic so firefighters had to cut holes in the dreelg ventilate. this was reported by someone driving on highway who saw the smoke, the 24 highway is right next to this school. about an hour and a half to get the fire out. fire investigator is on scene as are oakland police and district representatives to figure out what happened here. >> we found an exterior door to the cafeteria was opened. the fire is under investigation at this time. i've got a fire investigator on scene that i'm working close with to determine the cause and origin of the fire. >> reporter: so there was fire, smoke and water damage

throughout this structure, throughout this cafeteria, described as unusable by that battalion chief who said there has to be a lot of rehab done in order for the school to be able to use the cafeteria again. no other buildings were damaged, so it looks like presidents day today, school is closed anyway but this probably won't impact school going forward in terms of having to close it for the rest of the week. that is unconfirmed right now. this will be multiagency investigation, oakland police, oakland fire and oakland public schools here have their own police force so we're talking about quite a bit of work that has to be done here. live in oakland, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> good thing at least it was a holiday today. thank you very much. >> at 5:32, new this morning, crews had to navigate to put out a fire on the cargo ship at the port of oakland. it started on the upper deck of a large container ship. crews had to lug their equipment up 12 flights of stairs and narrow quarters of the ship to fight the flames.

luckily no one was hurt. the cause of the fire is under investigation. the fire inspectors confirmed what many people already suspected. the building that burned rast month in sfrab had several safety violations dating back several years, according to the "san francisco chronicle." one person died in the fire at 22 7bd and mission streets. firefighters had to rescue a dozen people, many from fire escapes that wouldn't descend. own on nbc bay area, a local pilot talking about his emergency landing on a bay area golf course. "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live from the hayward executive airport. bob, i understand the pilot used an area near the 10th hole as his landing strip. >> reporter: yes, that pilot, david olson tells us he yelled "fore" before bringing his plane on theer it r er it rtera firma.

shortly after taking off around 1:00 his bulldog plane, one he bought back in 2000 started coming down fast. his priority was to not hit any homes or people. the sky west golf course next to the airport was his best option. he spotted an area by the 10th hole. one of his wings clipped a tree on the way down but he landed right side up and was able to climb out on his own. >> the oil line that controls the prop hedge might have broken or sprung a leak. >> we heard a boom, went outside. >> you always look up because they're always taking off and coming over, they fly right over there. >> i was interested in aviation, and now from every angle. >> reporter: i'm sure he hopes he doesn't have to experience it again. he does have at least 15 years flying experience, which certainly came in handy when he

was trying to find a spot to land the plane. reporting live in hayward, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks a lot, bob. >> the pilot amazingly relaxed as he describes -- >> probably helped. >> good temperament for that sort of thing, landing planes on golf courses. 5:35 right now. we had absolute perfection this weekend that is oftentimes a difficult thing to beat. >> for valentine's day nonetheless, christina. >> yes for the tournament down in pebble beach, spectacular conditions. good morning to you. san francisco bay right now, you can actually see for ten miles or better. this is high atop san bruno mountain overlooking the bay. spectacular. no fog in sight. we have a little bit of patchy fog developing in the tri valley but nothing to concern yourselves with. visibility still five miles or better. whatever is out there is going to burn off rapidly once that sun comes up. 48 degrees in the south bay right now.

dispensaries are operating in san jose. it appears to be recreational marijuana right now. that's a significant distinction between voters in california only approved legal medical marijuana. see our entire investigation, logon to nbc bay area on the front page. >> tony, thank you. see tony's full report tonight at 6:00, if you have a tip for the investigative unit please call us at 888-996-tips or e-mail the un unit@nbcbayareath. egypt strikes back at isis overnight. the latest details in a live report. california is already dealing with a drought. now the lack of rain is forcing the cancellation of one of the biggest ski events in the world. look outside on this monday morning, happy presidents day to you. we're back with 15 minutes of nonstop news, traffic and weather after the break. first, one of the great highlights from last night's 40th anniversary of "saturday
