The ILWU and the PMA had a tough time agreeing on such things as who maintains and repairs truck beds used to haul cargo to distribution warehouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two sides have yet to release a copy of the contract to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 90 ILWU delegates that make up the Coast Longshore Caucus reviewed the five-year contract this week.

The ILWU plans to hold discussions on it at local union meetings before a vote, with results expected May 22.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shipping companies are expected to vote on the contract within the next month or so, said Steve Getzug, a spokesman for the PMA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is an important endorsement of the tentative agreement reached between PMA and ILWU, and a critical step forward in protecting the competitive position of the West Coast ports,\" Getzug said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recommendation from the union prompted praise from the federal government's top labor official. In a statement, U.S. Labor Secretary Tom Perez called the vote an important step toward finalizing the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am optimistic that the rank-and-file membership will recognize the contract as a fair resolution, and will vote to approve the contract,\" said Perez, who traveled to San Francisco to help end the labor conflict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the ILWU and the PMA reached a tentative deal less than two months ago, port congestion along the West Coast has eased considerably, Perez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the major backlog of cargo at the Port of Oakland cleared on Thursday, port officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time since January, vessels are no longer waiting in San Francisco Bay and outside the Golden Gate to approach the port, they said in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.portofoakland.com/maritime/operational_status.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">statement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When a ship comes to Oakland, it goes straight to berth,\" Port Maritime Director John Driscoll said. \"No more delays: that's the message we're sending to our customers and the shipping lines that carry their cargo.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

This is the beginning of Thomas’s 80-mile commute to Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas, 55, is a Stanford University Dining employee. To get to and from Stanford, Thomas has to take a bike, a train and a bus. Monday through Friday, Thomas spends 16 hours away from home and treks a total commute of nearly six hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every weekday, Thomas rides his bike for 30 minutes and 5 miles to the Stockton train station. He lifts his bike onto the train and sits in the same seat of the same car on the 4:20 a.m. Altamont Commuter Express. Thomas keeps himself awake in fear of missing his stop at the Fremont station at 6:00 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘I do what I have to do, I have a family to take care of.

That proposal, written and promoted by students at San Jose State, increased the city's minimum wage to $10 (it's currently $10.30).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of the wage increases have argued that higher payroll costs would force businesses to lay off staff, move or close altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Berkeley raised its minimum wage to $10 last October and is set to increase it to $12.53 by the end of this year. And the Emeryville City Council is looking into hiking its minimum wage to nearly $14 by year’s end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, the minimum wage is now set to rise each Jan. 1 by an amount corresponding to the federal Consumer Price Index.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
