teamsters and chariot have worked together. we've built trust and have arrived to a great first contract for their employees. chariot is a good partner and that's rare these days. teamsters are supporting the enforcement piece when it comes to the permit. just like how they've worked in good faith when we organized the work force, they've demonstrated that same partnership with sfmta. thank you in advance for your support. >> good afternoon. i'm kendra whatkinwatkins. this is the first time i've spoken with board of supervisors. i spoke with the board of directors and i've been there at least twice. i'm a commercial driver for chariot of the i've been there a year as of last week and i'm pleased to say i come from a nursing background and also alcohol and drug counsellor but i've never been happier when i worked for chariot. when i came here, i envied my fiancee's work. i meet my alarm clock today. i'm happy. and the company allows us to meet the nicest passengers. it's a work-cation. i'm a native of oakland. and i never liked

at the time, i wasn't really sure what the teamsteres did but it was a paying job i needed. i worked 20 to 30 hours a week starting my first week of classes. gradually i moved up from my file clerk position to positions of more responsibility, and when i graduated from college in 1985, the teamsters offered me a full-time job. my almost seven years there gave me a unique perspective and i never forget what i learned. i saw labor relations, collective bargaining and union representation from that side. i came to know a number of good committed union officials. it was my completely accidental experience at the teamsters that sparked my interest in labor law. i ultimately decided to pursue labor law on the management side. as the committee knows, lawyers and labor law typically represent either management or unions, but almost never both. in moving to the management side, i selected my law firm very carefully, considering reputation and approach to labor management relations. i started at morgan lewis as a summer associate in may of 1988, and i never left. i am not fortunate to

when i graduated from college in 1985, the teamsters offered me a full-time job. that job allowed me to put myself through law school in the evenings. my almost seven years at the teamsters gave me a unique perspective and i never forgot what i learned. i saw collective bargaining and union representation from that side. also came to know ha number of good committed union officials. it was my completely accidental experience at the teamsters that sparked my interest in labor law. i ultimately decided to purview labor law on the management side. as the committee knows, lawyers and labor law typically represent either management or unions, but almost never both. in moving to the management side, i selected my law firm very carefully, considering reputation management relations. i started morgan lewis summer associate in may of 1988 and never left. i'm colead the practice group and serve as the practice group leader for the washington group labor and employment group. my almost 30 years of practice have involved representing corporate clients on all issues under the
