His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Sometime over the next decade it changed, and now that figure has jumped to as high as 10 times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who has got that kind of money?” asked Kotkin. “Where I live, all the older people keep complaining, `My kids keep visiting me just waiting for me to drop dead so they can have the house.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Brownell, research director at San Diego’s Center on Policy Initiatives, said the inability of California’s middle class to afford homes exposes a vulnerability in the state’s economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though as a whole, our economy is successful in terms of what it’s producing and the amount of wealth it’s producing, we’re not seeing that translate into incomes that will support families here in San Diego and across California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he believes that is not economically sustainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people have stable, middle-class incomes, it means they have money in their pocket to consume all kinds of goods, whether that’s purchasing housing, buying new clothes, buying cars, buying refrigerators,” Brownell said. “Our economy is driven by consumer spending.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kotkin said California’s middle class started to dwindle when the Cold War ended in the 1990s, devastating the state’s aerospace industry. California has lost 280,000 aerospace jobs over the last 30 years, according to the book “Blue Sky Metropolis: The Aerospace Century in Southern California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kotkin said real estate and construction jobs also went away. More recently, jobs in the business sector have taken a hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Toyota, Occidental Petroleum, Nissan, companies that employed a large number of middle-class people, are going,” Kotkin said. “These were companies that had a lot of good paying jobs — $80,000, $100,000, $120,000 — enough to support a middle-class lifestyle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he said many companies that remain are not expanding because of California’s land, energy, housing and regulatory costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Center on Policy Initiative’s Brownell said the companies that are expanding are contributing to the state’s income inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream\">Explore the California Dream Series\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/interstate-1920x1080-tight-crop.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Here in California, we’ve had great success in creating highly skilled, high-paying jobs — in the tech industry in Silicon Valley and in San Diego the biotech industry,” Brownell said. “A lot of those really successful and well-paying industries have built into them a structural demand for low-wage work as well, the nannies, the restaurant workers and the dry cleaners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brownell said it is important to note that even people earning more than workers in low-wage jobs\u003ca href=\"https://www.cpisandiego.org/lack-of-hours-hits-minimum-wage-increase/\"> are struggling to survive.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharon Mintz runs a floral arrangement business in San Diego.

Sometime over the next decade it changed, and now that figure has jumped to as high as 10 times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who has got that kind of money?” asked Kotkin. “Where I live, all the older people keep complaining, `My kids keep visiting me just waiting for me to drop dead so they can have the house.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Brownell, research director at San Diego’s Center on Policy Initiatives, said the inability of California’s middle class to afford homes exposes a vulnerability in the state’s economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though as a whole, our economy is successful in terms of what it’s producing and the amount of wealth it’s producing, we’re not seeing that translate into incomes that will support families here in San Diego and across California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he believes that is not economically sustainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people have stable, middle-class incomes, it means they have money in their pocket to consume all kinds of goods, whether that’s purchasing housing, buying new clothes, buying cars, buying refrigerators,” Brownell said. “Our economy is driven by consumer spending.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kotkin said California’s middle class started to dwindle when the Cold War ended in the 1990s, devastating the state’s aerospace industry. California has lost 280,000 aerospace jobs over the last 30 years, according to the book “Blue Sky Metropolis: The Aerospace Century in Southern California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kotkin said real estate and construction jobs also went away. More recently, jobs in the business sector have taken a hit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Toyota, Occidental Petroleum, Nissan, companies that employed a large number of middle-class people, are going,” Kotkin said. “These were companies that had a lot of good paying jobs — $80,000, $100,000, $120,000 — enough to support a middle-class lifestyle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he said many companies that remain are not expanding because of California’s land, energy, housing and regulatory costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Center on Policy Initiative’s Brownell said the companies that are expanding are contributing to the state’s income inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream\">Explore the California Dream Series\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/interstate-1920x1080-tight-crop.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Here in California, we’ve had great success in creating highly skilled, high-paying jobs — in the tech industry in Silicon Valley and in San Diego the biotech industry,” Brownell said. “A lot of those really successful and well-paying industries have built into them a structural demand for low-wage work as well, the nannies, the restaurant workers and the dry cleaners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brownell said it is important to note that even people earning more than workers in low-wage jobs\u003ca href=\"https://www.cpisandiego.org/lack-of-hours-hits-minimum-wage-increase/\"> are struggling to survive.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharon Mintz runs a floral arrangement business in San Diego.

But his actions could have an outsized impact in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state does have about 5,500 steel workers, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data from 2016. But UC Davis economist Katheryn Russ estimates that California has many more workers — over 100,000 — turning steel into products like hardware and car parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Steel as an input affects the cost of production in a lot of different industries,” Russ said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She notes that President George W. Bush implemented tariffs on certain steel products in the early 2000s, and the outcome was not good for jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effects are difficult to quantify. But Russ \u003ca href=\"http://econofact.org/will-steel-tariffs-put-u-s-jobs-at-risk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">points to estimates\u003c/a> that as many as 10,000 steel jobs were saved by President Bush’s tariffs — while anywhere from 26,000 to 200,000 jobs were lost in steel-using industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And saving jobs in the steel industry has only become more difficult, Russ said, due to technological advancements that mean employers now need fewer workers to produce the same amount of steel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How many jobs can we save if we raise the price of steel in the U.S.? It’s hard to tell,” Russ said. “You’d basically have to tell industries to stop innovating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”0aEPFRW35Jz2uQsrWOFqycRg03t0j8m2″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA economist Edward Leamer said Trump’s protectionist actions — through previously announced tariffs on imports of solar panels, washing machines and now steel and aluminum — could end up threatening more domestic jobs than they’re intended to save.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is, in the areas of coal and steel, he’s not going to be creating enough jobs to make a difference,” said Leamer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles-based Hannibal Industries relies on domestic and imported steel. Executive vice president Steve Rogers says it’s too soon to tell how his company would fare under Trump’s tariffs, but he’s concerned about rising costs and supply issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is not enough domestic steel-making capacity to fulfill steel demand in the United States,” Rogers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hannibal has more than 300 workers at its facility in Vernon, just outside of downtown Los Angeles. They take steel and fashion it into racks and tubes used for shelving units in warehouses. Rogers worries that tariffs could end up giving an advantage to foreign companies making the same products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do compete with foreign finished goods, which we already have a hard time competing with just on a cost basis,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 25 percent of imported steel comes into the U.S. through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, a steel mill in Fontana — California Steel Industries — expressed concern about tariffs, saying Western states rely on imports. In a letter to the U.S. Department of Commerce, President and CEO Marcelo Botelho Rodrigues \u003ca href=\"https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/232-steel-public-comments/1755-california-steel-industries-public-comment/file\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote\u003c/a> that if tariffs were imposed, “the result could be the loss of thousands of U.S. jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nations exporting the most steel to the U.S. include Canada, Brazil and South Korea. Countries could respond to Trump’s tariffs with trade restrictions of their own. A European Union official said on Friday that Europe is prepared to retaliate by slapping import duties on U.S. products, including jeans made by San Francisco-based Levi’s.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But his actions could have an outsized impact in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state does have about 5,500 steel workers, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data from 2016. But UC Davis economist Katheryn Russ estimates that California has many more workers — over 100,000 — turning steel into products like hardware and car parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Steel as an input affects the cost of production in a lot of different industries,” Russ said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She notes that President George W. Bush implemented tariffs on certain steel products in the early 2000s, and the outcome was not good for jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effects are difficult to quantify. But Russ \u003ca href=\"http://econofact.org/will-steel-tariffs-put-u-s-jobs-at-risk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">points to estimates\u003c/a> that as many as 10,000 steel jobs were saved by President Bush’s tariffs — while anywhere from 26,000 to 200,000 jobs were lost in steel-using industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s hard to tell,” Russ said. “You’d basically have to tell industries to stop innovating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA economist Edward Leamer said Trump’s protectionist actions — through previously announced tariffs on imports of solar panels, washing machines and now steel and aluminum — could end up threatening more domestic jobs than they’re intended to save.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is, in the areas of coal and steel, he’s not going to be creating enough jobs to make a difference,” said Leamer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles-based Hannibal Industries relies on domestic and imported steel. Executive vice president Steve Rogers says it’s too soon to tell how his company would fare under Trump’s tariffs, but he’s concerned about rising costs and supply issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is not enough domestic steel-making capacity to fulfill steel demand in the United States,” Rogers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hannibal has more than 300 workers at its facility in Vernon, just outside of downtown Los Angeles. They take steel and fashion it into racks and tubes used for shelving units in warehouses. Rogers worries that tariffs could end up giving an advantage to foreign companies making the same products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do compete with foreign finished goods, which we already have a hard time competing with just on a cost basis,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 25 percent of imported steel comes into the U.S. through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, a steel mill in Fontana — California Steel Industries — expressed concern about tariffs, saying Western states rely on imports. In a letter to the U.S. Department of Commerce, President and CEO Marcelo Botelho Rodrigues \u003ca href=\"https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/232-steel-public-comments/1755-california-steel-industries-public-comment/file\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote\u003c/a> that if tariffs were imposed, “the result could be the loss of thousands of U.S. jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nations exporting the most steel to the U.S. include Canada, Brazil and South Korea. Countries could respond to Trump’s tariffs with trade restrictions of their own. A European Union official said on Friday that Europe is prepared to retaliate by slapping import duties on U.S. products, including jeans made by San Francisco-based Levi’s.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Over the years, the companies have pushed down the cost of a ride and the earnings for drivers. Cab drivers have tried to fight back, protesting and forming unions. But Uber and Lyft’s footprints continue to expand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Doug Schifter, a for-hire black-car driver in New York City, went to the steps of City Hall and shot himself to protest the industry’s decimation. Before taking his life, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/10/584757778/taxi-drivers-face-financial-crisis\">Schifter posted on Facebook\u003c/a> about the financial pressure put on drivers like him by services like Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The taxi companies themselves are imploding. In San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sf-yellow-cab-sold-competitor-810000/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yellow Cab went bankrupt in 2016\u003c/a>. Yellow Cab had around 500 medallions, which the city sold for $250,000 apiece. The company ended up selling for around $810,000, a little more than the sticker price for just three medallions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yellow Cab, Luxor and Citywide have all been consolidated into one company. Green Cab, Ditlefsen’s company used to have 19 members. Now it’s down to six. And they don’t even drive full time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Gruberg is a taxi driver and co-founder of Green Cab, which is driver-owned. Gruberg said many younger drivers have left the industry and those who remain are mostly career drivers. Many of them are stuck with medallions, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/24/for-san-francisco-cab-drivers-once-treasured-medallions-now-a-burden/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">which can be a big financial burden\u003c/a>.

It used to be filled all the time. Now the schedule is shot through with yellow, the color for unfilled shifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gruberg says Uber and Lyft have taken away cab drivers’ biggest paydays: Valentine’s Day, Halloween, St Patrick’s Day, even New Year’s Eve. None of these days bring in the business they used to. Gruberg says drivers have lost between a third and half of their income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of every shift, Deborah Sears, the office manager, adds up what drivers earned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s days when some guy will come in and say, I had three fares today,’ ” Sears said. “It’s like going out there and playing Russian roulette.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veena Dubal, a professor of law at UC Hastings, recently conducted an ethnographic study, comparing cab drivers with those for Uber and Lyft. Dubal says identity plays a huge role in the lives of these drivers. “The sort of dignity that people got from their work when they were full-time professional drivers is just not possible with Uber and Lyft.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dubal said ride apps like Uber and Lyft are not only destroying the stable long-term jobs of the taxi industry, but also the sense of community in the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of how low the fares are they have to drive and drive and drive and drive for an inordinate amount of time in order to eke out a living,” Dubal said. “So there isn’t an opportunity to build community in the same way that there was in the taxi industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘Consumers who use these ride services are absolutely complicit.’ \u003ccite>Veena Dubal, Lawyer at UC Hastings\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Dubal says the “app drivers” are way more atomized, isolated. There’s no taxi lot, less of a sense of community. They just flip on the app and drive, feeding customer demand for cheap, convenient rides. Dubal said “consumers who use these ride services are absolutely complicit” in the destruction of the taxi industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe Disalvo just arrived at the Green Cab office for his shift. He has a bright, bushy, white mustache and bifocal lenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve heard drivers say things like, ‘If I don’t die of old age soon, I’m going to go crazy,’ ” Disalvo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I’ve heard drivers say things like, ‘If I don’t die of old age soon, I’m going to go crazy.’ ” \u003ccite>Joe Disalvo\u003cbr>\nTaxi driver\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Disalvo has been driving since 1984. He’s one of the career drivers who is locked into the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m 74, and if I was younger I’d just leave,” Disalvo said. “I’d get a second job or go do something else, but my time has passed for that. I have to do what I am doing for as long as I can and make it work somehow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Disalvo is also stuck financially. He took out a loan to buy a medallion. For Disalvo and many others, it was the de facto taxi retirement plan. Now Disalvo says a medallion is pretty much a worthless piece of tin and a huge financial burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are drivers who are applying for food stamps and welfare,” Disalvo said, “I haven’t done it, I haven’t had to, but this is the first year I’ve been underwater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Disalvo finishes the tiny paper cup of water he’s drinking, crunches it and drops it in the trash. He thanks me for letting him vent. That, he said, will at least keep him going for a little while longer.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Over the years, the companies have pushed down the cost of a ride and the earnings for drivers. Cab drivers have tried to fight back, protesting and forming unions. But Uber and Lyft’s footprints continue to expand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, Doug Schifter, a for-hire black-car driver in New York City, went to the steps of City Hall and shot himself to protest the industry’s decimation. Before taking his life, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/10/584757778/taxi-drivers-face-financial-crisis\">Schifter posted on Facebook\u003c/a> about the financial pressure put on drivers like him by services like Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The taxi companies themselves are imploding. In San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sf-yellow-cab-sold-competitor-810000/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yellow Cab went bankrupt in 2016\u003c/a>. Yellow Cab had around 500 medallions, which the city sold for $250,000 apiece. The company ended up selling for around $810,000, a little more than the sticker price for just three medallions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yellow Cab, Luxor and Citywide have all been consolidated into one company. Green Cab, Ditlefsen’s company used to have 19 members. Now it’s down to six. And they don’t even drive full time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Gruberg is a taxi driver and co-founder of Green Cab, which is driver-owned. Gruberg said many younger drivers have left the industry and those who remain are mostly career drivers. Many of them are stuck with medallions, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/24/for-san-francisco-cab-drivers-once-treasured-medallions-now-a-burden/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">which can be a big financial burden\u003c/a>. The upshot of all this is that there are fewer cabs on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11651107\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11651107\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Office-e1519088025430-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The office for Green Cab, which has been downsized from 19 to six members.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The office for Green Cab, which has been downsized from 19 to six members. \u003ccite>(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Gruberg shows me the company’s shift schedule. It used to be filled all the time. Now the schedule is shot through with yellow, the color for unfilled shifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gruberg says Uber and Lyft have taken away cab drivers’ biggest paydays: Valentine’s Day, Halloween, St Patrick’s Day, even New Year’s Eve. None of these days bring in the business they used to. Gruberg says drivers have lost between a third and half of their income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of every shift, Deborah Sears, the office manager, adds up what drivers earned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s days when some guy will come in and say, I had three fares today,’ ” Sears said. “It’s like going out there and playing Russian roulette.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veena Dubal, a professor of law at UC Hastings, recently conducted an ethnographic study, comparing cab drivers with those for Uber and Lyft. Dubal says identity plays a huge role in the lives of these drivers. “The sort of dignity that people got from their work when they were full-time professional drivers is just not possible with Uber and Lyft.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dubal said ride apps like Uber and Lyft are not only destroying the stable long-term jobs of the taxi industry, but also the sense of community in the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of how low the fares are they have to drive and drive and drive and drive for an inordinate amount of time in order to eke out a living,” Dubal said. “So there isn’t an opportunity to build community in the same way that there was in the taxi industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘Consumers who use these ride services are absolutely complicit.’ \u003ccite>Veena Dubal, Lawyer at UC Hastings\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Dubal says the “app drivers” are way more atomized, isolated. There’s no taxi lot, less of a sense of community. They just flip on the app and drive, feeding customer demand for cheap, convenient rides. Dubal said “consumers who use these ride services are absolutely complicit” in the destruction of the taxi industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe Disalvo just arrived at the Green Cab office for his shift. He has a bright, bushy, white mustache and bifocal lenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve heard drivers say things like, ‘If I don’t die of old age soon, I’m going to go crazy,’ ” Disalvo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I’ve heard drivers say things like, ‘If I don’t die of old age soon, I’m going to go crazy.’ ” \u003ccite>Joe Disalvo\u003cbr>\nTaxi driver\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Disalvo has been driving since 1984. He’s one of the career drivers who is locked into the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m 74, and if I was younger I’d just leave,” Disalvo said. “I’d get a second job or go do something else, but my time has passed for that. I have to do what I am doing for as long as I can and make it work somehow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Disalvo is also stuck financially. He took out a loan to buy a medallion. For Disalvo and many others, it was the de facto taxi retirement plan. Now Disalvo says a medallion is pretty much a worthless piece of tin and a huge financial burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are drivers who are applying for food stamps and welfare,” Disalvo said, “I haven’t done it, I haven’t had to, but this is the first year I’ve been underwater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Additionally, the company no longer will sell high-capacity magazines. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walmart, which ended sales of modern sporting rifles such as AR-15s in 2015, has \u003ca href=\"https://news.walmart.com/2018/02/28/walmart-statement-on-firearms-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced \u003c/a>that it is raising the minimum age for purchasing firearms and ammunition from 18 to 21. The company notes that it does not sell bump stocks, high-capacity magazines and similar accessories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walmart is also removing items from its website “resembling assault-style rifles, including nonlethal airsoft guns and toys” —\u003cbr>\n like the air gun Tamir Rice \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/11/20/456626171/for-family-of-tamir-rice-an-inauspicious-anniversary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was playing with\u003c/a> when he was shot by a Cleveland police officer who thought the 12-year-old was armed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dick’s Sporting Goods CEO Ed Stack announced the firm’s decision on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, the same day that survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/28/589355178/stoneman-douglas-students-head-back-to-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">returned to class\u003c/a>. Stack said the 19-year-old gunman allegedly behind that massacre, which claimed 17 lives and wounded many more in Parkland, Fla., had purchased a firearm from the retailer last November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that the weapon — a shotgun — was not used in the shooting, the CEO said the revelation deeply affected Stack and his colleagues at Dick’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did everything by the book. We did everything that the law required, and still he was able to buy a gun,” Stack said. “When we looked at that, we said the systems that are in place across the board just aren’t effective enough to keep us from selling a gun like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so we’ve decided we’re not going to sell the assault-type rifles any longer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/DICKS/status/968830988246765568\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company, which operates more than 715 locations, already had pulled assault-style weapons from Dick’s stores after the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting; now it will also stop selling the weapons at its subsidiary Field & Stream stores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stack said the decision to eliminate assault-style rifles is permanent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims and their loved ones,” the company said in a \u003ca href=\"http://pressroom.dicks.com/press-information/media-statements.aspx?camp=sns::20180227:CS2015:am:end:&utm_medium=Social%20DSG&utm_source=&utm_campaign=CS2015&utm_term=&utm_content=20180227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement issued\u003c/a> Wednesday. “But thoughts and prayers are not enough. We have tremendous respect and admiration for the students organizing and making their voices heard regarding gun violence in schools and elsewhere in our country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have heard you. The nation has heard you. … The systems in place are not effective to protect our kids and our citizens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement asserted the company’s support for the Second Amendment but continued, “we have to help solve the problem that’s in front of us. Gun violence is an epidemic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to changing its own policies, the company issued a plea to elected officials to enact “common-sense gun reform,” specifically calling for the following regulations:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Ban assault-style firearms\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Raise the minimum age to purchase firearms to 21\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ban high-capacity magazines, as well as bump stocks — gun accessories that allow semi-automatic rifles to operate like fully automatic weapons\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Require universal background checks that include relevant mental health information and previous interactions with the law\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ensure a complete universal database of those banned from buying firearms\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Close the private sale and gun show loopholes that waive background checks\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>With their moves, Dick’s and Walmart join a host of major companies that made changes in reaction to the Parkland shooting. As \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/02/23/588233273/one-by-one-companies-cut-ties-with-nra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR’s Amy Held reported\u003c/a> last week, many other high-profile companies — from MetLife Insurance and First National Bank of Omaha to Symantec and Hertz — have ended their corporate partnerships with the National Rifle Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those moves have not been without controversy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, for instance, Georgia Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle threatened to “\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/02/27/589047224/georgias-lt-gov-threatens-to-kill-tax-break-for-delta-airlines-amid-nra-spat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kill any tax legislation\u003c/a> that benefits” Delta Air Lines after the company ended its own relationship with the NRA. Delta, which is based in Atlanta, had announced two days earlier that “we will be requesting that the NRA remove our information from their website” — a decision Cagle described as an attack on conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about the potential for pushback among gun rights advocates, Stack acknowledged the move “isn’t going to make everyone happy. But when we look at what those kids and the parents and the heroes in the school, what they did, our view was: If the kids can be brave enough to organize like this, we can be brave enough to get these [firearms] out of here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re staunch supporters of the Second Amendment,” he added. “I’m a gun owner myself. We’ve just decided that based on what’s happened and with these guns, we don’t want to be part of this story.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

The mood was a mix of doom and defiance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And make no mistake about it, brothers and sisters, they’re coming after us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Predicting they will lose in the courthouse, California union leaders have begun fighting back in the statehouse. Last year, they successfully lobbied for \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/the-state-worker/article156146364.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new state law\u003c/a> that requires government workers, upon being hired, to go through an orientation session with union representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is going to be a great boost to allow us to at least access the people and ask them to join,” said Dave Low, executive director of the California School Employees Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once Janus is decided, and we feel very much that it is going to be decided against us, we will be moving other legislation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation is in early conceptual stages and it’s too soon to say whether, if approved, it would cover all unions or just those in the public sector. But union-backed bills under consideration, Low said, include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>giving union members “release time” from their jobs so they can recruit other workers to join the union\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>shielding union members’ contact information from the public to make it harder for anti-union groups to reach them\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>allowing unions to charge nonmembers who use services such as arbitration or a labor representative to help them through a disciplinary process\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Taxpayer advocates would likely oppose bills that would shield contact information or give union members release time from work, said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. But overall, he said, a court ruling in favor of Janus could relieve some pressure on California taxpayers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will perhaps result in our elected officials being able to pursue policies that have more the public in mind, and not just the public employees,” Coupal said. “They will be less likely to cave to public employees in collective bargaining in terms of salary and compensation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"n4HDBFCJzFBTcBLv3Aqd6fDCSFqj7Aej\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor unions are a major influence in California’s Capitol, spending money to help elect Democrats and then lobbying them to pass new laws. In just the past few years, unions here have successfully advocated for laws granting overtime to farmworkers, making paid sick days mandatory and increasing the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. Labor has shaped many other decisions in the Capitol, from which \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/tesla-troubles-can-california-impose-blue-values-green-economy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">car companies\u003c/a> can get electric-vehicle rebates to how much money school districts can hold in reserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That kind of influence is costly. Labor unions spent at least $16.3 million lobbying the California Legislature last year and, according to the National Institute on Money in State Politics, more than $123 million on California political campaigns in the last election cycle—money that comes from dues paid by union members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 2.5 million public- and private-sector workers in California are union members, according to the California Labor Federation, and another 110,000 government workers here pay fair-share fees to unions they choose not to join.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An unfavorable ruling from the Supreme Court could diminish union membership in California by between 5 and 30 percent, depending on what other laws are in place, predicted California Labor Federation spokesman Steve Smith. It’s unlikely to strike an immediate blow to how much unions spend on political campaigns in California this year, he said, though it could have some impact. The real change will be felt over time: If the ruling leads to a decline in membership, unions will have less money to spend on politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we have less money as labor, we’re going to be spending less money on Democratic candidates, we’re going to be spending less money on things like ballot initiatives,” said Jessica Ulstad, political field director for the California Federation of Teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will all have to look at our budgets and say, ‘What is it that we absolutely are going to spend money on, and what are we not going to be able to do any more?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California’s policies and politics\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Janus case is backed by a network of \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/25/business/economy/labor-court-conservatives.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conservative groups\u003c/a> whose funders also support Republican candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11652576\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/LABOR-POWER-graphic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"730\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/LABOR-POWER-graphic.jpg 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/LABOR-POWER-graphic-160x212.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/LABOR-POWER-graphic-240x319.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/LABOR-POWER-graphic-375x498.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/LABOR-POWER-graphic-520x690.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The threat to organized labor is a threat to all of us, in particular to the Democratic Party,” Alma Hernandez, executive director of the Service Employees International Union in California, said to a roomful of union activists at the California Democratic Party convention. The mood was a mix of doom and defiance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And make no mistake about it, brothers and sisters, they’re coming after us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Predicting they will lose in the courthouse, California union leaders have begun fighting back in the statehouse. Last year, they successfully lobbied for \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/the-state-worker/article156146364.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a new state law\u003c/a> that requires government workers, upon being hired, to go through an orientation session with union representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is going to be a great boost to allow us to at least access the people and ask them to join,” said Dave Low, executive director of the California School Employees Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once Janus is decided, and we feel very much that it is going to be decided against us, we will be moving other legislation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation is in early conceptual stages and it’s too soon to say whether, if approved, it would cover all unions or just those in the public sector. But union-backed bills under consideration, Low said, include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>giving union members “release time” from their jobs so they can recruit other workers to join the union\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>shielding union members’ contact information from the public to make it harder for anti-union groups to reach them\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>allowing unions to charge nonmembers who use services such as arbitration or a labor representative to help them through a disciplinary process\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Taxpayer advocates would likely oppose bills that would shield contact information or give union members release time from work, said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. But overall, he said, a court ruling in favor of Janus could relieve some pressure on California taxpayers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will perhaps result in our elected officials being able to pursue policies that have more the public in mind, and not just the public employees,” Coupal said. “They will be less likely to cave to public employees in collective bargaining in terms of salary and compensation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor unions are a major influence in California’s Capitol, spending money to help elect Democrats and then lobbying them to pass new laws. In just the past few years, unions here have successfully advocated for laws granting overtime to farmworkers, making paid sick days mandatory and increasing the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. Labor has shaped many other decisions in the Capitol, from which \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/tesla-troubles-can-california-impose-blue-values-green-economy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">car companies\u003c/a> can get electric-vehicle rebates to how much money school districts can hold in reserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That kind of influence is costly. Labor unions spent at least $16.3 million lobbying the California Legislature last year and, according to the National Institute on Money in State Politics, more than $123 million on California political campaigns in the last election cycle—money that comes from dues paid by union members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 2.5 million public- and private-sector workers in California are union members, according to the California Labor Federation, and another 110,000 government workers here pay fair-share fees to unions they choose not to join.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An unfavorable ruling from the Supreme Court could diminish union membership in California by between 5 and 30 percent, depending on what other laws are in place, predicted California Labor Federation spokesman Steve Smith. It’s unlikely to strike an immediate blow to how much unions spend on political campaigns in California this year, he said, though it could have some impact. The real change will be felt over time: If the ruling leads to a decline in membership, unions will have less money to spend on politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we have less money as labor, we’re going to be spending less money on Democratic candidates, we’re going to be spending less money on things like ballot initiatives,” said Jessica Ulstad, political field director for the California Federation of Teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will all have to look at our budgets and say, ‘What is it that we absolutely are going to spend money on, and what are we not going to be able to do any more?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
