directly to the questions and that's what education it all about people ask questions and get answers process till's a repeating over and over and over and over the same points and i think that is more disprescription so the members are due a response i concur they deserve a direct answer to the response as a educator one must communicate in the language of members i don't know the members know what sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, to say is those average member knows those are a higher risk. >> i want to reiterate we're doing what we or were asked to do reach out to marge resident

right to be paid a minimum number of hours being on call to work that are not given a shift the retailer workers have the right to keep their jobs nor 90 days if their company is sold and for parity and fairness are the key prong legislation also is a product of organizing from a number of organizations community organizations and the input of small business and business sector as well lifting workers out of poverty as this legislation will help to raise the minimum wage but courage full-time work many folks are not just living paycheck to paycheck by hour to hour and

suffering from ironic schedules that will help corp retailers have jobs that are more sustainable we have corporate are retailers abuse retail practices are causing instability for people that serve our food and stock our shelves and sweep the floors this effects the morning for the la at a whether or not they receive the ability to balance the lives and work the people that get the hours they need are vulnerable to poverty one in 4 involuntarily apartment workers live in poverty vs. one in 20 full-time workers strong wages stable hours and same schedules are the basics that families and workers in all

income people in the city with that, i'd like to thanks president chiu for his incredible work on this piece of legislation supervisor breed is next on the roster. >> last week, i offered an amendment for janitors and many of the contractors employ people that have varies employment and have a hard time finding jobs i was concerned this could have a chilling effect on the hiring but many of my colleagues see it differently i looked at specifically what we're requiring of the contractors and under the language in 3300 f dot e and 340 odot f g contractors operating will be required to comply with those ordinances as soon as the ordinances goes into

effect any concern is those existing contracts were likely negotiated before the legislation came up and the contractors may not have a way of knowing what it is that impacts them or 0 how they're expected to comply under the legislation formula retails will be required to disclose the regulations yet there are no such provision in existing contracts my office discussed that with donna what the office of labor standards i was hoping this could be resolved but ms. levitt pointed out that will be difficult to identify who they are and how to reach them i drafted a brief amendment it requires the formula retails to comply under the organizes this is unsubstantive ms. levitt and the office of labor standards support that and local 87 the

janitors union i know that president chiu last board meeting after all the amendments we've thrown at him and supervisor mar i can't bring myself to rain on his parade you i'll introduce this at our next board meeting thank you (clapping.) president chiu. >> supervisor campos it up next. >> i look forward to hearing about the trailing of the legislation it is weakening protection for the laborers i'm not be declined to support that it is precisely you want to provide those protections i look forward to the legislation but it's surprisingly instead of trying to strengthen this legislation we're trying to undermine the working conditions of some of the people that

actually need the most protection. >> xhouch. >> or supervisor mar. >> yeah. i forgot to mention i want to thank supervisor campos and supervisor avalos so far being the co-sponsors with president chiu with this piece of legislation. >> supervisor breed. >> supervisor campos to the chair it didn't weaken the legislation it requires that the office of labor standards novice those who have existing contracts with the city and county to make sure they novice them of the requirements they're fully aware to comply with the clarity. >> president chiu. >> thank you, mr. chair let me say with regards to supervisor breed's amendments i have not had the chance to look at the language but i appreciate her going with the trailing

legislation i'll be inclined to support it but i'll appreciate our thought and there will be further communication i want to echo supervisor mar thanking the labor leaders swals as well as employers that worked with our offices to move forward this forwarding we know our economy is going better we've heard from hundreds of apartment workers that can't tell their families when they'll work and how much they'll eastern their joulg many jobs i'm intruding proud of the fact our city has led the way in minimum wage and sick leave and last year with the friendly workplace ordinances we will continue to establish a real standard for predict i want to

national union of local 21 i know there are a number of individuals in the audience who are here to physically come in support of this legislation and ask them if they can stand so we can acknowledge all the individuals here in support of this legislation thank you very much thank you. >> let me say that as you recall out of respect for my colleagues who wanted additional time to consider this piece of legislation i voted in the continuance of this law since that time the commission on the status of women held a hearing and spoke to the human rights commission that didn't have critiques about the ordinance this morning we met with our city administrators for

the departments under her leadership can chiropractor to implement the law and if you pass this law today, we'll begin a long process that did not have contractors submitting equal pay reports until the ended of january 2016 we must first challenge an advisory committee to hold he several public meetings in which the board will allow the city to identify evidence of wage discrimination as well as the burn on contractors i want to address some of the questions and concerns that have been raised by a number of folks about the ordinance first of all, many people have asked what the fiscal impact of the legislation is and i know that our budget analyst harassed looked at the issue the director of the human rights commission teresa estimates she'll need a

one half to one full-time employee to implement the law and certainly has the budget process begins i'll be recognizing for that to be included in the budget for the human rights commission we also decide on the best we'll be discussing on the best data collection system to implement there maybe a need for an amendment for the amount of money that is $50,000 so overall the impact in terms of the financial gang on the city will be minimum and even with some of the issues that have been raised we building this does noted constitute a financial impact to require this be sent to committee certainly self-meet the threefold by the

city and board the fact that wage discrimination is already illegal had he has been illegal for more than 60 years the reason the problem persists this is a secret what happens in terms of how people get paid is something we're not supposed to talk about and women continue to be shortchanged because they know that they don't actually know they're being shortchanged that's why this issue remains unchanged since the federal government made the pay inequality illegal second where wage discrimination exists the employers set an equal pay by asking the employees to report compensation to the city we're

asking city contractors to unconscious take a look at how contemplation works for them i'll give you an example something that was pointed out during the meeting of the commission status of women merna who is the executive director of jamestown community center testified on the status of women upon hearing about this piece of legislation she asked her home sharing employee to prepare a report to understand whether or not their disparity of pay between men and women and we're talking about a pretty open-minded equal organization and even in that organization merna was surprised there's paid discrepancies she couldn't provide but for this law this was something she wouldn't have

looked into we believe it will be the 88 same truth, in fact, the enequality exists by something people are not unconscious thinking about that will benefit not only san francisco workers but insure that san francisco continues to lead the way the same way we have on a number of issues we take the example of the domestic partner benefits owners we were the first city to require that those who contract with the city provide the same rights to the same sex couples it led to san francisco providing the benefits and others the fact we have a responsibility not only to protect our workers bus because of the history of san francisco

leading the way on civil rights issue it impacts what happens to the rest of the state and country much has been said about the impact on small businesses and nonprofits on the commission of the status of women at the board of supervisors that issue has been raised there has been the complaint that requiring the reporting of this information is two bumping to comply but without knowing the requirements it is the fact we've got work to be done by a advisory committee to make sure that we minimize the impact on the small businesses but i want to note a couple of points first i don't believe that reporting requirements is that onerous new mexico has implemented a program for the
