10:30 pm
so, because i what in fear of losing my job, i stuck around to work at this workplace for over a year and it was by chance that i had learned that san francisco had the office of labor center enforcement and it was through the chinese progressive association, through their help i was connected up with compliance officer robin ho and they helped me work with my employer
10:32 pm
with robin at olrc we were able to come to a settlement, but it was not before i found out through the newspaper that actually the restaurant had got their health license suspended by dph so i would just say i was lucky enough to be able to get all of my back wages back and thanks to the work of olrc and i would just say that i encourage the board of supervisors to continue to support the collaboration between the different city departments to continue to enforce labor laws so all workers can have their just compensation. thank you. >> thank you to mr. [speaker not understood] for your courage on that. and thanks to cpa and also robin ho [speaker not understood] to make sure that is a great example. i believe [speaker not understood] luis is here and terry from the fcc as well. regards to everybody. my name is [speaker not understood], a victim of wage theft, a member of filipino
10:33 pm
community center and [speaker not understood]. it is a positive aspect of collaboration between workers, the community-based organization, the lawyers and [speaker not understood]. it is for us workers. language is a barrier, is a significant barrier. we have difficulty in fully explaining exploitation and abuse they face in the workplace from their employers because of limited english proficiency and the nature of the situation they have to describe. workers must [speaker not understood] community organizations such as the filipino community center because of the competency and language [speaker not understood]. the fcc also help workers file the wage theft cases -- >> sorry, ma'am, please speak into the microphone. and provides education and advocacy about workers rights.
10:34 pm
the filipino community center also helps facilitate communication with the office of the labor standard enforcement and the lawyers. worker consistently provide a base to the community base organization like the fcc to support their wage theft cases. workplace includes employers intent to sell their business and leave the country with caseses [speaker not understood] and mobile abuse [speaker not understood]. the collaboration between workers, the fcc, [speaker not understood] and lawyers assure a consistent and [speaker not understood] communication. workers rights education is important for workers to receive wider cases will be in review. it empowers worker to advocate for themselves and to help prevent wage theft by helping
10:35 pm
the fcc conduct their rights. [speaker not understood] rights works within the community. this clinic highlights the need to stop abusive employers and exploitation of workers. >> ma'am, please continue. please continue. as a victim of exploitation and as a member of communities, it is the duty of workers to make efforts [speaker not understood] employers who constantly exploit immigrant workers. finally, collaboration between workers, the community-based groups and [speaker not understood] se is a [speaker not understood] help to obtain [speaker not understood]. thank you so much. >> could you explain what immigrant e is as well, or the projects within the ftc? ~ immigrant e is an organization as well. they help a lot of people,
10:36 pm
especially like in my case ~. we've been a victim of my, you know, of [speaker not understood] issue that happened a long time. also because i work in a facility [speaker not understood] and we don't know where to go because of the [speaker not understood]. so, [speaker not understood]. and of course the filipino community center. we become more [speaker not understood] -- we have the courage to express, you know, what's going on with our -- in our workplace. and, so, they introduce us like the olrc to give us more help and, you know, for -- it is easier, it became easier for us
10:37 pm
to win this legal battle because of this legal advocates like the olse, like the -- how do you call that? employment [speaker not understood] and of course the filipino community center. >> thank you for being such a great leader and mr. wu as well from cpa. i think it is a perfect example of worker empowerment from worker centers and model of city departments working with you. thank you for the example. thank you so much. >> i know there may be other workers that are here as well, but i'd just like to open up for public comment. go ahead, mr. [speaker not understood]. my name is [speaker not understood]. thank you, supervisors. i'm from the scc. over the years like the city we've been able to recover over a million dollars in wages putting it back into the pockets of caregivers, like the filipino worker who work platt places like university mound. a lot of places across the west side and both of your districts, supervisors. there are so many care homes there.
10:38 pm
we're proud to be part of the outreach collaborative that donna mentioned earlier, with other organizationses representing chinese, filipino, latino, care givers, domestic worker, day laborers, hotel workers, mostly immigrant who are suffering from wage theft ~. we're also a proud member of the progressive workers alliance that's been pushing forward policies like a higher minimum wage, like stronger enforcement policies for olrc and the resources that can be there for the city to ensure worker are getting their basic rights. we are proud to join and thank you, supervisor mar, and supervisor campos as well, for your leadership on creating this task force which i was fortunate to sit on with other business reps, nonprofit and private attorneys, all of the city departments and organized labor to tackle this widespread issue of wage theft. and it means literally that some community residents and workers aren't able to live in the city any more. there is one case of the olrc, a hotel company that couldn't pay his worker or refused to pay and we couldn't collect an that, had to leave the city when his wife was stricken with
10:39 pm
cancer. this is the reality. we support all of the recommendations in of the report and particularly wanted to highlight a few. definitely the stronger enforcement and the resources needing to be there for the city, that this task force needs to be a permanent task force that meets at least quarterly to tackle these issues across the city. that permitting be tied to wage theft violators and not be giving permits or tax incentives or contracts with the city. that stronger enforcement measures and new ideas like a streamlined hearing process are also in place, new strategies like a wage lien being discussed potentially in the city to go after employers. sun zth garden was a case of an employer who sold their property and never paid their workers. but it was literally the task force in the prick of last year where i was able to call lowell turner at the city attorney's office, to make sure we were going to do this ~ before the owners fled the country. that is an example of what we can do what we have this collaborative effort and move it forward.
10:40 pm
we encourage your support for that going forward, all of the recommendations and continued collaboration with all of the community groups. >> thank you, mr. valen. if there is anyone else that would like to speak, please come forward. so, seeing none, let's close public comment. [gavel] >> and i wanted to thank everyone for coming out. i think the task force recommendations are, are really great ones and all the hard work for many individuals from city departments to attorneys, but also especially the worker center organizations as well. i wanted to say that supervisor campos's office and my office will be looking carefully at these as we move forward not only with the minimum wage raise on the ballot, but also other issues of the recommendations from staffing levels to improving the process so that worker have a real voice and it's a level playing field as they move forward with wage theft claims. and i'm wondering if supervisor yee wanted to make any closing comments. >> no. i mean, again, i think the
10:41 pm
public already had given recognition of starting this task force is an important task force and the recommendations are very solid. i'm just wondering whether or not you would like to continue this item to the call of the chair. >> so, yes. i would like us to continue this item to the call of the chair. and before we close, i wanted to thank carolyn goose enfrom supervisor campos's office and hillary ronan for their incredible work, and especially the coalition ~ that made san francisco kind of the first city to pass a major wage theft policy 2011, and then our amazing wage theft task force. and we're looking forward to continuing the task force and to implementing these great recommendations as well. so, supervisor yee has made a motion to continue this to the call of the chair. can we do that without objection? [gavel] >> mr. evans, is there any other business before us >> there is no more business, mr. chair. >> thank you for coming out,
10:42 pm
