the day labor contract did were taken for their money. we also have the earlier cases that we have already settled, mostly focused on the theft issue. we are able to secure the restitution payments to the workers that were defrauded. >> do you coordinate with other potential government agencies on various situations about whether you should take the case? i am wondering what kind of conversations happened. >> there is very little coordination. i was happy to hear the work that olse is doing. i have been in conversation with the police department. i reached out to express my interest in working with them. you have for my commitment to make those conversations happen. regardless of what actions you take, for we will make sure we are more coordinated with those agencies. if you have those employees that are taking four or five years to comply, that is where we should get involved. >> there seems to be a working group between the different government agencies or the particularly bad actors. and there are more than one agency is bringing actio

we now in force, as was said, seven labor laws, including the country's most progressive labor laws, including our own minimum wage ordinance. we are one of three cities in the country with its own minimum wage. we are the only city in the country with its own paid sick leave requirement -- with a paid sick leave requirement, and we are the only city in the country that requires employers to provide health care for their employees. we now have -- we have gone through an incredible time of growth. we have a multilingual and multi-cultural staff of 16 passionate and dedicated folks who work every day to come back wage theft in its many forms -- combat wage theft in its many forms. supervisor campos: this 6 for the entire city? >> correct. since the enactment of those ordinances, we have addressed about 500 minimum wage claims and 300 paid sick leave claims. the last time the ordinance was strengthened, the amendments were championed by supervisor maxwell. i remember that she said that the olse is counted on to be the union for those unrepresented low-wage workers in this city. we take

and this, i mean, not incidentally in an environment where in general the issue of labor and laboring is much less in people's consciousness. of course, the other point to mention is that much of our definition of what is fair in the blue collar work force came out of, came out of unions saying, you know, on behalf of their, behalf of their members, you know, what constituted kind of what they considered constituted fair, you know, fair arrangements. my favorite kind of slogan for the labor movement is, you know, labor, from the people who brought you the weekend. i think, you know, it's -- and, of course, organized labor has never really made inroads into the white collar work force with some exceptions. so i think that, yeah, the white collar work force is this kind of a nebulous zone where we imagine that everybody is a kind of independent, you know, rational actor with a fair amount of capital behind them. you know, even if they're working without pay for extended periods, there must be some, you know, they must be all right. of course, if you see the pursuit of happiness with wil

i do want to point out that today, 40% of our contracts are with union labor. and also invite the board and the union to address me directly about this issue. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. if there is no one else that would like to speak. >> good afternoon land use and economic development committee. i want to express my opinion on the 110559 -- supervisor mar: please pull the microphone closer to your mouth. >> the easement being asked to be granted. i want to oppose that because i feel that any type of disruption of the neighborhood and up parkmerced is totally wrong -- supervisor mar: this is about ocean avenue. >> it would extend all in there with the traffic would be upset and move apart and changed. we do not want any of that to go on. we do not want any houses torn down. thank you very much. supervisor mar: if there's no one else that would like to speak, public comment is closed. colleagues, are there questions? my hope is that the two locals will work with supervisor elsbernd's office to try to address some of those issues. my understanding is

i represent day laborers. to a small and limited degree, states have a common practice of stealing wages from day laborers. in august 2005, the first job i acquired by standing on a mission. i was a student and needed money for books. i was picked up at six o'clocks 30 in the morning. after eight hours of work, with my hands full of bleeding blisters, my employer promised me she would hire me the next day and pay me the next day. the next morning, i waited at the specified corner on top of a fire hydrant. six minutes later, i was pacing on the sidewalk. 20 minutes later, i was cursing myself for not getting the license plate number. i was enraged. but the only thing i could do was hoping i could see that blue truck coming down the street. i want you to imagine the anger, the frustration, the hopelessness that i felt. multiplied this anger by weeks and even months of other workers not getting paid. this is for weeks and months on and, which is the case of a lot of delivers. i was extremely lucky that after an h

and it's it's frankly a crime is leading to the deaths this is the labor in labor it's this power thing labor balances money basically the power of organized money is where corporations and the power of organized workers is what labor is and if there's not a balance between the two what you're going to see is what we're seeing right now we're going to seize the corporations making massive profits in the c.e.o.'s taking huge paychecks and labor crashing from the middle class the working poor and you're going to see the c.e.o.'s living in luxury and the workers as happened in the massey mine dying in the coal mines. police officers have some explaining to do last week a video surfaced of washington d.c. police brutalizing a man in a wheelchair on a local street here take a look. he's the metro police issued a statement justifying their bloody actions claiming that the man was resisting arrest something that cannot be seen from any angle on this video course this isn't the first time video has surfaced of police beating up someone in a wheelchair. so what's going on here will police office

i am working hard with staff, labor groups, in my budget team. one of the most pressing issues we have to deal with is to make sure our city remains solvent through the hard economic times, like the ones we are still facing, and that challenges us to make sure we are still reforming the system. i still got everybody at the table. and we are about to launch into our reconfirmation in a couple of weeks. it is my hope that we keep the city together and we produce one ballot measure in november and the changes we have in pension reform our long term. that we fix it and we fix it for everybody for generations, so they will have a dignified pension system to work with. this all ties as back to investing in our neighborhoods and our communities. we can make the positive investments to keep our families in our city. and i want to make sure you here this, because i want sentences get to be the northern terminus for high-speed rail in the state. -- i want san francisco to be the northern terminus for high- speed rail in the state. we are committed to that.

we need stronger basic labor protections. many of the workers' organizations that were identified in the grass roots research, but it is a basic human right, they say, that labor protection and workers' rights are basic human right. this will just strength in labor law enforcement at the local level and help workers and working families recover these stolen wages much more quickly with clearer timelines and better accountability. it will improve accountability and transparency in the process as well and create better noticing so that workplaces and neighborhoods know of the bad employers, and set more of a level playing field for all businesses. lastly, other efforts by the grass-roots coalition the progress of workers alliance leadership -- it is going to improve collection and data sharing and hopefully set up at some point some sort of task force as a way of holding accountable the local government to even improve the labor law enforcement for the future. i just wanted to give my tremendous respect to the grassroots organi

labor market. when you think about it, there are few labor regulations that can have such a huge impact. you know, in many developing countries, children on the 16, 15, keeping only statistics, california they have the population. they actually say we ban child labor, your ultimately excluding almost half of the labor force from the labor market. economist debate whether minimum wage regulation make 1% more of the labor force unemployed or not. compared to that, this child labor thing is so huge, but very few people, including the rich countries, think that this is a big regulation. why? does they upset the values underlying those regulations so totally that they now don't see them. so in honor the way, like beauty, freedom of the market is in the eyes of the beholder. there's no scientific way to define a free market. all markets have regulations. many regulations. week, depending on what we believe in, see the same markets and one person says yes this is a free market, another person says no, it

potential labor force from the labor market. economists argue that regulation may make 1% more of the labor force unemployed or not. compared to that, yeah, i mean, this child labor thing is so huge but very few people from the rich countries think this is a big regulation. why? because they obsess those values underlying those regulation so totally that they now don't see them. so in other ways, like freedom of a market is in the eyes of the beholder. there's no scientific way to define a free market. all markets have regulations. many regulations. we, depending on what we believe in, have the market and one person says this is a free market and the other person says, no, it has too many regulations, huh? there are people who the banking industry in the united states or the united kingdom is too unregulated, huh? there are a lot of people that they they are too regulated. there's free banking school who believe the government should have no say how much the capital -- the banks should have, huh? i mean, if they mismaking their

skilled labor. lucrative skilled labor careers like electricians, plumbers and machinists have seen their work suffer. >> there is a category in work that's critical, and those jobs have come to feel like -- call it vocational consolation prizes and we're simply not celebrating their contribution. that's why you have a skills gap right now at the same time you have unemployment. >> according to the department of labor, skilled labor like plumbers and steam fit ters, will see a 16% increase in the number of jobs available between now and 2018. skilled labor workers, a 29% bump. the problem, finding people skilled to fit the job and a number that will retire soon. this job bright mike way out to capitol hill where he testified about a skilled crisis. >> we need a pr campaign for skilled labor, like a big one. something that addresses the widening skills gap head on and rejoins the country with that part of the work force. >> while not glamorous, they are essential to keep the country running. >> it's

that's labor. and labor never had but one friend in politics another the democratic party and frank monday rolls out. the total actually and thomas increased less than forty billion dollars in nineteen thirty three two hundred and three billion dollars and nineteen forty seven the greatest in all the history of the world. better pick up then spread to zero up people because it's the business of the democratic party that lead to people get up areas where they scott walker in wisconsin just flipped out right and in one hundred fifty six this is what the republican party's platform under the leadership of glide eisenhower said about labor workers have benefited by the progress which has been made in carrying out the programs and principles set forth in the one nine hundred fifty two republican platform all workers again and unions have grown in strength and responsibility and have increased their membership by two millions this is the republican platform he didn't furthermore the process of free colle

labor stand overseas labor standards overseas environmental sinners and b. that they keep getting away with it but i think for the first in the first in the first case it's that you you know. they put on this cloak of the moral man cloak and the yankee dream cloak and so that's what we are but when you take it off what do you find you find transnational corporate interests that want to take our jobs anywhere they can make money make things cheap and ship them back in this economy taking away our ability to make those things and the jobs and the good jobs in this economy mean that this is what happens when we get to the point where government becomes exposed and people are really getting a good eye view of what that really means it's almost like it's all a t.v. set you know and it's all it's we've learned we've learned now since he left the presidency that karl rove was actually behind george bush by the ranch in crawford that bush didn't want to ranch visit for a horses and so there were never any horses at the ranch does that make it a ranch i don't know an

fair compensation for their labor i mean if i wanted diamonds for nine dollars ninety nine cents and i couldn't find any of those it doesn't mean that there's a diamond shortage i'm just not willing to pay what time it actually cost you i mean corporations are going to go overseas because of the cost of labor you know also because there's much lower environmental cost i mean you know for example you know when g.e. locate in china they're able to see through to bitch seedings from environmental cops and russian from chinese currency manipulation making in china pays for companies not because of labor but because of all these other things so i don't really think there's a labor cost i don't think that's the issue i think this is the pooling and it's not really the real issue behind it we need a comprehensive industrial partner as well and personally i don't think we can hold their breath for that especially when you mention g.e. and jeff immelt of course as obama's would be a first then working in the administration now so we'll see where i guess how much work they're going to put into

thank you for labor for working to make this happen. thank you very much. i do not think you came here to listen to politicians give speeches. the one thing i will say, this is more than just about job creation. this is a public safety issue. in my view, we recently saw in the mission a lot of violence happening. unfortunately, a lot of gang activity. there's a role for the police to play in that. one of the things that i hear, this concept that nothing stops a bullet quicker than a job. some people want job opportunities. this is what this legislation does. it gives so many people of san francisco who did not have those opportunities the ability to put food on the table. they're unemployed, not because we havdo not have the talent -- they are the best work force in the world. we disney the opportunity to make that happen. thank you, mayor lee. thank you.

i think the city has enjoyed a very solid relationship with labor. i have a lot of -- i mean, i work with these folks every single day. not only department heads, all of us here, we have with -- part of the enjoyment is figuring out how to do things well but also to give people a decent wage. decent benefits. a decent pension. many of you appreciated employers that did the same thing for you. when you were working. it's that relationship that makes san francisco special. i'm not about to have a wisconsin kind of viewpoint here. this is not there in san francisco we work hard at this -- this is not there. in san francisco we work hard at this relationship. yes, we've had bumps, we've had difficult discussions. there are sometimes things that we don't like to hear that are distracting, whether it's a strike vote or something else. but we manage to get things done and that's what i'm here -- i'm not making any new promises as mayor. i'm trying to keep the old promises. a lot of you have been here a long time. you want the city to be safe, you want it to

the small business assistance center, who helps us hammer home that compliance with san francisco labor laws is essential for the success of a new small business, and we have partnered with the san francisco police department to provide a uniformed presence for olse on job site visits and take a united approach to human trafficking cases. we do have challenges. there is a statistic in the legislative analyst's report that a minimum wage cases are resolved by the olse in a median of 23 days. at the dlse, a case would probably not even be assigned a case number in the length of time. a significant number of cases are resolved within a day or two, but sometimes, cases have complicated pay schemes. sometimes, cases raise issues for which we need legal guidance, involve uncooperative employers, or they're difficult attorneys, and they are not resolved as promptly as they should be. can we do better? yes. occasionally, we're dealing with businesses that are closed and individual owners our judgment- proof, and we just cannot collect back wages or penalties owed. in closing, i am proud of our

because you know, as a labor historian, labor historians often don't necessarily get to focus on the winners. we get to focus sometimes on the losers, but the loser still tell us an awful lot about the world and the ideas that they presented or are maybe valid today because it is one famous labor historian, ep thompson said, we haven't resolved all the problems of society yet. so maybe some of their ideas just got overlooked. but, so i got fascinated with her and so ultimately to do this book, i did research and 35 different libraries or archives on two continents in three countries, the united states, england and scotland and everywhere from the british library to the library of congress to probably the most fascinating place with this little local history museum in oh, a little village just north of manchester. and i discovered it on the internet and i was going down there. i had for five places i was going to do research so this place was only open on wednesday night and sunday afternoon. so i was there waiting for to open on wednesday night and it turned out it was just old guys

precedence to satisfy big labor.'s actions are inherently destructive of the union's right where is the antidiscrimination? once again, mr. president, no not a single union worker lost a job or an hour of work as a result of boeing's business decision. let's be perfectly clear, boeing workers in the state of washington actually gained new work and gained 2,000 new jobs following the decision in 2009. these jobs are among the best paid in america. does that sound like antiunion discrimination? of course not. this was not a stuffed move in the dark of the night. no one was surprised caught off guard. of. the machinist union knew that boeing was building a machinist -- workers knew about boeing's plans as well. so did the nlrb. but before issuing his complaint, the acting general counsel stood for 17 months while new facilities were being constructed at great expense in south carolina at the cost of billions of burglars and workers were hired to run the assembly lines. it goes without saying that if carolina workers wan

it has to wait for that labor to show up. then it can't employ, say, for example, the architect to redesign the new restaurant that's going to open if it can't get the right people into the restaurant to hire and work there. this mobility of labor has been radically changes in the united states because the housing collapse. people can't leave their homes. immigrants right now are more mobile than any other segment of society. they will probably in a technical sense be the lubrication, kind of great w.d.-40 that gets the gears of the economy again because they're able to move and to the third point, our disproportionately risk taking. it's interesting to me, one stat the rubber chicken dinner, i'm from arizona and i'm the son of a naturalized u.s. citizen. i'm sitting at a dinner, a fancy nice dinner. someone was going on how his vice presidents have to go through this rigorous outdoors thing where he sees the meddle of the man who i will promote or not promote depending on whether or not they screamed when they went down the

i want to address more on the farm labor contractors. what we think they were doing was simply dividing responsibility at the federal level between the department of labor and their processes that pre existed. they said we will not have these determinations whether the farm labour contractor has employed an illegal alien. the irca will usei provision. beforeirca and after, the federal law's only supplement the authority of the state. that means they preserve all of the state authority but -- that they had a i beforerce irca. i think that reinforces that those have been preserved through irca. this is an area that has traditionally been within the mainstream of police power. we acknowledge that congress has the authority to preempt this but the elected board and discretion in terms of our ability to impose sanctions for licensing and similar laws and we are doing so by establishing the suspension and revocation of state licenses. it is important part of the balance the congress struck went to enactirca by addressing what state authority w

in a sense immoral goods to come in you know goods from child labor and such we're just not going to do that and then the american people would understand and so would other countries you want to manage it so you don't trade wars but you know what china is doing a great job managing it and nobody. is no one's going to prevent that if they're managing their currency something we gave up doing kind of in in one thousand seven hundred seventy one when nixon took us off the gold standard but you can still manage a currency without going on the gold standard there are a lot of things you have to do but you have to have a goal and the goal needs to be you've got to put your people back to work you've got to have to thrive in the pet program but i would argue for again. as a student of history you know what happened with the g.i. bill of rights after world war two it was a phenomenal success and basically it allowed people to go to college for free and even gave them stipends. if we had free higher education at state at all public institutions free higher education it would bring down the u

here is where we start to go down -- supervisor campos: do those labor costs include health care? health care costs as well? >> yes, all salaries and benefits. supervisor campos: that is an important point. to the extent you are saying salaries are going up, but a reason is the cost of health care, which is the focus of this discussion, and that is an important differentiation. >> actually, i'd think what i said is part of the reason they are going up is because of the shortage of workers. so let's take a look at what california spends. i will drill down into the geographic areas you are interested in, but it is important to see this context. across the entire nation, this is what each state spends in relation to the national average, just to the right of the middle of the screen. california, to the left, in comparison to other states in the country, california is actually very efficient. i have done one thing with these numbers that some of the others have not. i have cost adjusted for inflation and i have acuity- adjusted these numbers. i am trying to create a level playing fiel
