. >> president hillis: thank you, mr. mack, your time is up. >> president hillis: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, my name is dante ballard, i'm a senior supervisor, vice president and chair of u.a.w.2501. today i come to ask you reconsider the proposal about the cafeteria ban in san francisco offices. this will discourage the creation of new good paying jobs. earlier this year we entered into an agreement with the u.a.w. as unionized cafeteria workforces, we are now some of the highest paid workers in california. our entry level employees earn an average of $19.50 an hour and managerial staff start at $50 k a year. it would make it hard for employees to gain experience through the company when airbnb opened its second office this year many of us were able to benefit from promotions. we should keep this so they have a chance to advance in their careers. we should encourage, not discourage with good benefits. we have stable hours, we don't work weekends and we get all of the holidays off paid. none of this happens at a restaurant. personally, i feel this has

as well it was the first time we saw chemical weapons being used mustard gas chlorine gas and also mr mack or central message i guess will be this mustn't happen again we've got to try to work to make sure but this kind of thing doesn't happen again. well those rights the french presence actually use this commemoration and the commemorations he's been a part of over the past week in france to really get across the message that so for to hear him what he says is the root of the dangers of rising nationalism in the world he talked to a french newspaper a few days go and he said that the political climate in the world right now reminds him of the one nine hundred thirty s. that time after the first world war leading up to the second world war what he's talking about is in europe the rise of far right anti e.u. policies this dressen the unity and the future of the european union and he is an all don't believe in multilateralism amano michael believes that leaders have to work together for peace and stability and it's also why he is a critical of donald trump with his make america great again p
