The association has said that the median wage for catering workers at SFO is $18.66 an hour and its members pay an average monthly premium of $800 for family coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talks in the dispute are ongoing and involve a federal mediator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the catering employees work at an airport, they would need to get authorization from the National Mediation Board, an independent federal agency, in order to be \"released\" and walk off the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Margulies, a spokesman for Sky Chefs, said Saturday that the company remains focused on resolving the dispute through \"good faith collective bargaining\" and sent a statement similar to one issued earlier in the week before the workers began voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our company values the hard work and dedication of our team members. Wages, as well as other benefits, including vacations, uniforms and company provided meals, health and welfare are subject to the collective bargaining process between our company and their union representatives.

The negotiations in question are between our vendor, their employees and the union. American is not involved in these negotiations, but we do not anticipate any impact to our catering operations,\" the company said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>United Airlines said it's getting ready in case of a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is our understanding that the parties are in mediation with the National Mediation Board.

Gavin Newsom and legislative Democrats actually landed a \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB74\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">budget\u003c/a> Thursday that’s surgical about new taxing while still keeping promises to help poor Californians and working families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11754468,news_11717355\" label=\"More on the Budget\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the $214.8 billion spending plan, the state inched closer to universal health coverage, expanding Medi-Cal to all low-income young adults regardless of immigration status. State lawmakers also charted a course to increase tax credits to the working poor and boost subsidies to middle-income Californians to buy health coverage. There were significant investments in early education and housing, also, while a portion of the surplus was diverted to pay down pension liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while Democrats began the year with a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-taxes-legislature-newsom-surplus-soda-water-tax/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">surplus of ideas for taxing Californians\u003c/a>, only a few strategic levies survived the negotiation process, specifically a fine on individuals who don’t have health insurance under a state mandate. There’s even a little tax relief: Parents, for instance, will get a temporary tax exemption on diapers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One hitch? The devil is in the details, some which have yet to be worked out. Though Democrats met their deadline for a balanced spending plan, most of the underlying policy to enact the budget wasn’t taken up — and may not be for weeks. Call it a learning curve: This was the new governor’s first time negotiating with seasoned legislative leaders who know how to count votes. Look for more action in coming trailer bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what you need to know about California’s new budget:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Yes to health care for undocumented young adults. Not yet on health care for all.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature agreed to the governor’s plan to expand Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program for low-income people, to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-poised-to-go-further-insuring-the-undocumented-immigrants/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">young adults ages 19-25\u003c/a>. It’s a step toward offering free health care to all undocumented adults since the state already makes Medi-Cal available to children regardless of immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11753589,news_11721672\"]The Senate had proposed going further by offering Medi-Cal to undocumented seniors 65 and older. However, none of the leaders backed offering health care to all low-income immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state expects an estimated 90,000 young adults could gain coverage when the benefit begins next year. Already, 76,000 have registered for a limited version of Medi-Cal that covers emergency services and prenatal care available to low-income people regardless of immigration status. The price tag for this expansion? About \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/2019-20/pdf/Revised/BudgetSummary/HealthandHumanServices.pdf#page=6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$98 million a year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting the state also affirmed its commitment to restoring \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-eyeglasses-medi-cal-restoring-benefitsr/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">optional Medi-Cal benefits\u003c/a>. During the recession, coverage for audiology, optical, podiatry, speech therapy and incontinence creams had been taken away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Obamacare lives: A $695 state mandate to carry health coverage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting next year, California will join New Jersey, Vermont and the District of Columbia in requiring residents carry health coverage or face a $695 state penalty — a fine that will go up each year with inflation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-ideas-counteract-obamacare-mandate-repeal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">individual mandate\u003c/a> aims to replace the federal one that Republicans repealed in their effort to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. The administration says California needs to act because without a mandate, the number of Californians without coverage — 10.4% in 2016 — will go back up. Separately, a study conducted by the University of California estimated the uninsurance rate will rise to \u003ca href=\"http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/pdf/2018/CA-Coverage-Gains-To-Erode-Without-Further-State-Action.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12.9% by 2023\u003c/a>, or 4.4 million people, without state action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Money raised from the penalties, about $1 billion over three years, will be used to give bigger subsidies to those who purchase private insurance through the state’s health coverage exchange, Covered California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom and lawmakers hope to expand assistance to 190,000 middle-income Californians making between $48,000 to $72,000 a year, according to Health Access California, a health advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fear of recall = Not many new taxes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget includes a plan to impose a fee — that still needs to be voted on — of no more than \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB96\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">80 cents a month\u003c/a> on each telephone line to help digitize the state’s 911 system, which is still analog.

In fact, California parents and women will get a sales tax exemption on \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/newsom-budget-governor-dad-california-families-family-leave-diapers-preschool/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diapers and menstrual products\u003c/a> (though only for two years).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notably rejected, given the state’s current $21.5 billion surplus, was Newsom’s push for a 95-cent tax on most residential water bills to fund clean drinking water initiatives in the Central Valley. Instead, the Legislature worked out a deal to clean up toxic water by diverting money generated from big polluters under the state’s cap and trade program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some environmental groups \u003ca href=\"https://www.apnews.com/83ce9d94e85744a199bc45ecfb295a25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">questioned\u003c/a> using clean air money to pay for drinking water, but supporters reasoned that water is being contaminated with arsenic and other toxic chemicals from the heavy use of fertilizers so it makes sense to draw the $100 million for cleanup from the agriculture industry’s portion of the greenhouse gas fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One issue that won’t be resolved this week is whether California will conform its tax code to match federal changes made by Republicans in 2017. Newsom is relying on the projected $1.7 billion increase in net revenue from that to expand the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/newsletters/more-bad-homelessness-news-why-college-is-so-pricey-and-special-election-day/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earned income tax credit\u003c/a>, the centerpiece of his anti-poverty agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Democrats in swing districts are skittish about limiting deductions and losses that can be claimed by some businesses. They know the fate of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/commentary/two-victims-of-a-blood-sport-politics/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">former Sen. Josh Newman\u003c/a>, who was recalled from his Orange County seat after voting to raise California’s gas tax. Tax conformity requires a two-thirds vote in the Legislature to pass, so the pressure is on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Newsom’s best Jerry Brown: Paying debt and rainy day saving\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers embraced the governor’s proposal to use some of the surplus to make extra pension payments, a step Newsom says is necessary to tame the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/newsom-wants-extra-pension-payments-as-retirement-liability-tops-256b/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$256 billion retirement liability for state workers and teachers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature approved supplemental payments of $3 billion to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System and $1.1 billion to the California State Teachers’ Retirement System for the state’s portion of unfunded liability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To relieve school districts across the state, the Legislature will contribute a total of $3.15 billion toward paying down their liabilities and reducing their payroll contribution rates. One difference is where it will go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously, Newsom had all the extra payments going to the teachers pension fund — a reaction, in part, to teachers strikes that erupted as he took office. Now a portion of that money will be doled out to CalPERS. The change was made in recognition that while teachers are members of CalSTRS, many other school employees from janitors to bus drivers belong in the state’s other public employee pension fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides paying down California’s “wall of debt,” as former Gov. Jerry Brown called it, the state is shoring up for a downturn — or \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/jerry-brown-gavin-newsom-political-lexicon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in Newsom-speak\u003c/a>, “building budget resiliency.” The new budget carries a roughly $20 billion reserve from several rainy day funds. This amount, while hefty, would be easily \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-recession-trump-newsom-washington-surplus-economy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wiped away in a downturn\u003c/a>. According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the state would need as much as $40 billion to cover the budget in a moderate recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Big spending on housing, but fight over where it goes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With new commitments topping $2 billion, the budget represents the most important action the governor has taken so far on housing and homelessness. The lion’s share will target the state’s homeless population, including $650 million in grants for cities and counties to build and maintain emergency shelters and $100 million for wrap-around care for the state’s most vulnerable residents. Another $500 million will go to quintuple the size of the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-state-budget-gavin-newsom/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state’s affordable housing financing fund\u003c/a>, plus hundreds of millions earmarked for cities to update their often outdated housing plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11754785\"]While lawmakers and Newsom have agreed to cut big checks, it’s not clear who’ll get the money and with what strings attached.

Lawmakers are poised to triple the program from $400 million to $1.2 billion to provide a $1,000 refund for families with children under 6 and expand income eligibility from $24,950 to $30,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11754745\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11754745\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/2019-budget-vote-600x407.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco Assemblyman Phil Ting, who chairs the Assembly budget committee, calls California’s new budget fiscally responsible while helping working families.\" width=\"600\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/2019-budget-vote-600x407.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/2019-budget-vote-600x407-160x109.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco Assemblyman Phil Ting, who chairs the Assembly budget committee, calls California’s new budget fiscally responsible while helping working families. \u003ccite>(Judy Lin/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Anti-poverty advocates had wanted Newsom to include undocumented workers who file with individual taxpayer identification numbers instead of Social Security numbers. That proposal did not make the final version of the budget. Still, the administration estimates the current expansion will increase the number of beneficiaries from 2 million to 3 million households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget also will make it easier for low-income families with children to qualify for assistance, increasing the CalWORKs asset limit to $10,000 and the motor vehicle exemption to $25,000 — changes that will allow people to save and hang onto cars that can get them to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And parents of all incomes will get a longer paid family leave to care for new babies — 8 weeks, up from the current 6 weeks, starting in July of next year. The goal will be to boost the benefit to 90% of most wages, up from the current maximum of 70%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The K-14 kids did all right\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As required by law, the lion’s share of the budget goes to public schools, with nearly $102 billion in state money to be pumped into California classrooms and community colleges, plus another $389 million in a special reserve fund for schools. Though the figure is an all-time high, California is still viewed as lagging in per pupil spending, in part because of the high cost of living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are also demanding more stringent oversight of charter schools, which can operate like private schools, tend to be non-union and have proliferated in big cities such as Oakland and Los Angeles. Newsom proposed prohibiting charter schools from blocking or disenrolling special education students who require more support for disabilities.

One difference is where it will go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously, Newsom had all the extra payments going to the teachers pension fund — a reaction, in part, to teachers strikes that erupted as he took office. Now a portion of that money will be doled out to CalPERS. The change was made in recognition that while teachers are members of CalSTRS, many other school employees from janitors to bus drivers belong in the state’s other public employee pension fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides paying down California’s “wall of debt,” as former Gov.

Lawmakers are poised to triple the program from $400 million to $1.2 billion to provide a $1,000 refund for families with children under 6 and expand income eligibility from $24,950 to $30,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11754745\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11754745\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/2019-budget-vote-600x407.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco Assemblyman Phil Ting, who chairs the Assembly budget committee, calls California’s new budget fiscally responsible while helping working families.\" width=\"600\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/2019-budget-vote-600x407.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/2019-budget-vote-600x407-160x109.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco Assemblyman Phil Ting, who chairs the Assembly budget committee, calls California’s new budget fiscally responsible while helping working families. \u003ccite>(Judy Lin/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Anti-poverty advocates had wanted Newsom to include undocumented workers who file with individual taxpayer identification numbers instead of Social Security numbers. That proposal did not make the final version of the budget. Still, the administration estimates the current expansion will increase the number of beneficiaries from 2 million to 3 million households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget also will make it easier for low-income families with children to qualify for assistance, increasing the CalWORKs asset limit to $10,000 and the motor vehicle exemption to $25,000 — changes that will allow people to save and hang onto cars that can get them to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And parents of all incomes will get a longer paid family leave to care for new babies — 8 weeks, up from the current 6 weeks, starting in July of next year. The goal will be to boost the benefit to 90% of most wages, up from the current maximum of 70%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The K-14 kids did all right\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As required by law, the lion’s share of the budget goes to public schools, with nearly $102 billion in state money to be pumped into California classrooms and community colleges, plus another $389 million in a special reserve fund for schools. Though the figure is an all-time high, California is still viewed as lagging in per pupil spending, in part because of the high cost of living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are also demanding more stringent oversight of charter schools, which can operate like private schools, tend to be non-union and have proliferated in big cities such as Oakland and Los Angeles. Newsom proposed prohibiting charter schools from blocking or disenrolling special education students who require more support for disabilities. Lawmakers readily embraced that change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget includes $300 million to build more \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/gavin-newsom-early-childhood-kindergarten-bathrooms/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kindergarten classrooms\u003c/a> in an effort to boost full-day kindergarten programs.

He initially asked that all of it go toward pilot projects with First 5 California and local governments but the Legislature is designating $25 million.

The budget boosts by about 15,000 the number of competitive Cal Grants — a significant jump, but far less than the 400,000 qualified students who applied for the state scholarships last year and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-cost-of-college-explained/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">didn’t receive them\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California and California State University will receive money to increase enrollment, and waive tuition during the summer to help low-income students graduate faster.

Community organizations could put them to work. But seniors in California have a relatively low volunteer rate. KQED’s Farida Jhabvala Romero introduces us to a 77-year old San Francisco man who’s found a way to give back: cooking for his community.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://grayingcalifornia.org/stories/transit/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">A High-Speed Life, Without a Car\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many California seniors are concentrated in suburbs and rural areas, where driving a car is pretty much the only transportation option. So what happens when older adults can no longer get behind the wheel? Especially when they’re part of a generation that’s expected to be more active and independent?

According to the latest census from the USDA, the average age of farmers here has climbed to 59. As they age out of the fields, these farmers face big decisions about whether to sell the farm, pass it onto their kids, or figure out something else.

More Californians are working past the age of 65. In fact, 20 percent of California seniors are still in the labor force. But the seniors who most need a job often have the hardest time finding one. KPCC's David Wagner brings us a profile of one woman who is determined to get a job — no matter what.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://grayingcalifornia.org/stories/caregiver/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Cared for by the Daughter He Barely Knew\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>By 2030, one out of five Californians will be a senior. And experts say there won’t be enough caregivers to help. This next story is about a senior in Los Angeles whose daughter takes care of him. As CAL Matters’ Elizabeth Aguilera tells us, she never expected to be the one caring for him because she didn’t grow up with her dad. He migrated to the United States from Mexico, and the family stayed behind in Tijuana. It wasn’t until his daughter was an adult — and came to the U.S. herself — that she began to get to know her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

As CAL Matters’ Elizabeth Aguilera tells us, she never expected to be the one caring for him because she didn’t grow up with her dad. He migrated to the United States from Mexico, and the family stayed behind in Tijuana. It wasn’t until his daughter was an adult — and came to the U.S. herself — that she began to get to know her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now we have a real question about whether that certainty even exists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson says her industry was relieved last month when the administration lifted tariffs on steel and aluminum from Mexico and Canada.

Wilson says higher tariffs would increase supply costs and hurt car sales, a double whammy. Taken together, uncertainty over trade has been a drag on the U.S. economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not clear what the latest tariff threats will mean for passage of the president's own trade proposal to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement. Trump is using the threats to try to force Mexico to address illegal migration, but businesses say tariffs would hurt both countries' economies and would be counterproductive.
