i'm with teamsters joint council 7, representing over 100,000 teamsters and 1500 different industries, including 12,000 who live in the city and county of san francisco. and about myself, this was my 25th year as a laborer and a community organizer. and the teamster, as you know, are a transportation union. we know delivery so as such i'm applying for seat 11. i want to thank supervisor fewer for this legislation. we think this commission is really important. our union, including myself, was intimately involved in crafting the legislations regarding this emerging industry, both here in san francisco and in sacramento. and as you've heard along with the ufcw and the laborers, we're proud to be leading things on the labor side in san francisco. we're organizing here and around the state and the country, but unfortunately despite very strong regulations, most of the workers remain unorganized. i serve on numerous boards and commissions at the local and state level. most recently i was appointed by governor newsom to his commission on the future of work, which i'm very honored to serve on

my name is matt condron, and i am the secretary-treasurer of teamsters local 384 in pennsylvania. i also work as a member of the first student national master agreement negotiating committee for the teamsters, where i set up national contracting goals and policies for teamster school bus drivers across the country. i am honored to be here today to convey the safety concerns of the more than school bus 30,000 drivers, monitors, and mechanics we represent. these hard-working men and women who i've had the honor of representing for over 18 years, need your help to make their industry and their job safer. regulations dod almost nothing to help school bus drivers. once a school bus comes off the manufacturing line, there are no federal rules requiring that it becomes in a safe working condition. many people are shocked to learn that the u.s. government please almost no role at setting minimum standards of school bus operation in our country. this is a recipe for disaster. private companies posed to make money or small school districts strapped for cash are often left to decide if wheth

the teamsters, the longshoremen, the operating engineers, a lot of the unions were controlled by them. is there any evidence organized crime is involved in public sector unions? mr. factor: not really. they have become very legitimate. a lot of union heads are referred to as the ivy league amigos. craig becker, the famous lawyer, is a yale law school grad. you was not going to law school at night. these are very highly trained business people. they are not traditional union members who worked their way up. randi weingarten has a very strong academic background, but teaching was a very minor part of it, and to get her started in the union. but she was never a classic teacher working her way up. these are professionals running large organizations. if you took the amount of money they take in annually, that the unions take in, they would be in the top quartile of the fortune 500s. you are talking about huge, massive organizations. i do not see a lot of the influence of organized crime. we go into some of that in the book. if there is any, and i don't really -- i can't go into detail beca
