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.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>This piece was originally published on April 27, 2017 and has been updated ahead of the 27th anniversary of the riots.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty-seven years ago this week, four Los Angeles policemen — three of them white — were acquitted of the savage beating of Rodney King, an African-American man. Caught on camera by a bystander, graphic video of the attack was broadcast into homes across the nation and worldwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fury over the acquittal — stoked by years of racial and economic inequality in the city — spilled over into the streets, resulting in five days of rioting in Los Angeles. It ignited a national conversation about racial and economic disparity and police use of force that continues today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When the verdict came out, it was a stunner for people coast to coast. My jaw dropped,\" says Jody David Armour, a criminal justice and law professor at the University of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was ocular proof of what happened. It seemed compelling,\" he says of the videotape. \"And yet, we saw a verdict that told us we couldn't trust our lying eyes. That what we thought was open and shut was really 'a reasonable expression of police control' toward a black motorist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year earlier, in March 1991, King — who was on parole for robbery — had led police on a high-speed chase through Los Angeles; later, he was charged with driving under the influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'What we had was aggressive paramilitary policing with a culture that was mean and cruel, racist and abusive of force in communities of color.'\u003ccite>Connie Rice\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When police finally stopped him, King was ordered out of the car. Los Angeles Police Department officers then kicked him repeatedly and beat him with batons for a reported 15 minutes. The video showed that more than a dozen cops stood by, watching and commenting on the beating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King's injuries resulted in skull fractures, broken bones and teeth, and permanent brain damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, four officers were charged with excessive use of force. A year later, on April 29, 1992, a jury consisting of 12 residents from the distant suburbs of Ventura County — nine white, one Latino, one biracial, one Asian — found the four officers not guilty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The acquittals were announced around 3 p.m.; less than three hours later, the unrest began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11428402\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11428402\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningCar-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A car burns as looters take to the streets at the intersection of Florence and Normandie avenues — considered the flashpoint of the LA riots — on April 29, 1992.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningCar.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningCar-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningCar-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningCar-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/BurningCar-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A car burns as looters take to the streets at the intersection of Florence and Normandie avenues — considered the flashpoint of the L.A. riots — on April 29, 1992. \u003ccite>(Steve Grayson/WireImage/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Residents set fires, looted and destroyed liquor stores, grocery stores, retail shops and fast food restaurants. Light-skinned motorists — both white and Latino — were targeted; some were pulled out of their cars and beaten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reaction to the acquittal in South Central Los Angeles — now known just as South Los Angeles — was particularly violent. At the time, more than half of the population there was black. Tension had already been mounting in the neighborhood in the years leading up to the riots: the unemployment rate was about 50 percent, a drug epidemic was ravaging the area, and gang activity and violent crime were high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"8nM1KpcsOFOAvQKiIPQh1JqdFmNR3uac\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another contributing factor: The same month as Rodney King's beating, a Korean store owner in South Los Angeles shot and killed a 15-year-old African-American girl named Latasha Harlins, who was accused of trying to steal orange juice. It was later discovered Harlins was clutching money to pay for the juice when she was killed. The store owner received probation and a $500 fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident heightened tensions between Koreans and African-Americans, and intensified the black community's frustration with the criminal justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/524744989/525551088\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the community's anger was also deepening against Los Angeles police.

Though LAPD Chief Darryl Gates announced early in the afternoon of April 29 that his officers had the situation under control, it would later be reported that the city was not adequately prepared for the riots. In fact, there was no anticipation of — or official plan at the department for — major social unrest on this scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the most astounding things about the 1992 Los Angeles riots was the response of the LAPD, which is to say no response at all,\" says author Joe Domanick, who has studied and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/08/15/431655518/the-transformation-of-the-lapd-and-the-work-that-remains\">written about the riots\u003c/a>, in an interview with Grigsby Bates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night, Gates went to speak at a fundraiser in West Los Angeles and reportedly ordered cops to retreat. Police did not respond to incidents of looting and violence around the city until almost three hours after the original rioting broke out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the rest of the night, the scene at Florence and Normandie repeated itself with rioters across the city. Just before 9 p.m. that night, Mayor Tom Bradley called for a state of emergency, and California Gov. Pete Wilson ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to report to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On May 1, the third day of the riots, Rodney King himself attempted to publicly appeal to Los Angeles residents to stop fighting.

Though LAPD Chief Darryl Gates announced early in the afternoon of April 29 that his officers had the situation under control, it would later be reported that the city was not adequately prepared for the riots. In fact, there was no anticipation of — or official plan at the department for — major social unrest on this scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the most astounding things about the 1992 Los Angeles riots was the response of the LAPD, which is to say no response at all,\" says author Joe Domanick, who has studied and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/08/15/431655518/the-transformation-of-the-lapd-and-the-work-that-remains\">written about the riots\u003c/a>, in an interview with Grigsby Bates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night, Gates went to speak at a fundraiser in West Los Angeles and reportedly ordered cops to retreat. Police did not respond to incidents of looting and violence around the city until almost three hours after the original rioting broke out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the rest of the night, the scene at Florence and Normandie repeated itself with rioters across the city. Just before 9 p.m. that night, Mayor Tom Bradley called for a state of emergency, and California Gov. Pete Wilson ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to report to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On May 1, the third day of the riots, Rodney King himself attempted to publicly appeal to Los Angeles residents to stop fighting.

Contract workers are often cheaper than employees, they can be hired and fired more easily, and investors generally like to see lower employee headcounts. Silicon Valley has not only been part of this trend, but on the vanguard of it, said Chris Tilly, a UCLA professor who studies labor markets, inequality and public policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Silicon Valley and the tech sector is definitely way out in front of most sectors when it comes to contracting,” Tilly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is how it works in Silicon Valley: The companies go to a staffing firm with a bid and say, “Hey, we need X amount of workers for X price to do something like IT, build out a new division for, say, autonomous cars, or do our janitorial work,” said Pradeep Chauhan, who runs OnContracting — a rating and reviews website for workers to learn about conditions at different temp staffing agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Contract worker in Silicon Valley']‘It’s totally a two-tiered sort of caste system.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chauhan said there are more than 1,000 staffing agencies in Silicon Valley.

Many specialize in a particular kind of work like IT, security or transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tilly said in the investor-dependent, quick-pivot world of Silicon Valley, the advantages of the contractor model are even more valuable because it allows firms to quickly scale up and scale down projects with labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, this model saves tech firms money in benefits, too, since it would cost a lot to give contractors the same generous packages used to attract high-skilled programmers and software developers, said Chauhan, who worked in staffing at Microsoft in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In older industries like auto manufacturing, unions guard against switching employees to contractors, but that’s not the case for new companies in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These companies start out with a tabula rasa,” a blank slate, Tilly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Stuck in Contracting for Years\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>All of the temporary contract workers in this story hoped to move on or convert to employee status, but at most tech companies there is no direct path for them to do so.

Some of these workers got stuck in contracting roles for years and ended up filing a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft for how it was “permatemping” its workers.

Often when they do get jobs, they aren’t hired as employees, but instead brought on as contractors. You can see that reflected in the UC Santa Cruz study numbers in Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study found that while African Americans and Latinos make up only 7% of full-time employees, they account for 26% of white-collar contractors and 56% of blue-collar contractors. So, as you go from the preferred full-time jobs down to white-collar contractors and finally blue-collar contractors, you see fewer and fewer white workers and more and more African Americans and Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study also found that contractors more often depend on public services and are vulnerable to homelessness, too, said Chris Benner, a professor of environmental studies and sociology who co-authored the study published by UC Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contract worker previously employed at Salesforce and Juul said that as a Latina she has experienced tech’s racial gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only people that I see that look like me, they’re cleaning up,” she said. “They’re doing custodial services. They’re at the front desk greeting people. They aren’t actually in the office.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcr/2019/04/HarnettTechContractor2.mp3\" title=\"A Tech Caste System\" program=\"KQED News\" image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/951945140.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Contract Workers Increasingly Voice Their Concerns\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard for contract workers to organize: They often aren’t at companies long enough to form bonds with other workers and push for changes to the system. They also fear they could lose their jobs by speaking out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, some tech contractors have taken a stand: In 1998, Microsoft contractors formed WashTech/CWA to fight for higher pay and benefits. And in 2016, labor organizers succeeded in getting a union for bus drivers at tech companies like Facebook and Apple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='silicon-valley' label='Coverage of the Silicon Valley']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, contractors are speaking out through groups like Silicon Valley Rising and the Tech Workers Coalition. They’ve helped organize protests and published open letters to tech CEOs demanding better treatment. Some of the workers we spoke with for this story contacted us through these organizing groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under increasing pressure from workers, tech companies have been addressing the contracting model. \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/policy/technology/436939-google-will-require-healthcare-parental-leave-for-extended-workforce\">In response to a letter demanding equal treatment\u003c/a> for contractors signed by Google employees, the company said it will require staffing firms to provide health insurance, 12 hours of paid parental leave and at least $15 an hour. Staffing agencies must comply by 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one of the workers interviewed for this story succeeded in getting a full-time job. She is at a small company, different from where she did contract work, and is relieved to have some stability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants to use her role as an employee to advocate for contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping to tell people at my new company how important it is to treat their contractors with respect. How important benefits and sick time is for these workers.” She said “it’s hard to imagine changing a big tech company,” but she hopes she can stick her foot in the door where she can and push for small changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How Tech Companies are Responding\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>KQED asked 10 tech companies about their response to concerns from contract workers. Apple, Palantir, Salesforce and Juul did not respond, while Oracle and Microsoft declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in 2015, Facebook required vendor partners to provide a minimum set of benefits to “their employees,” a spokesperson said in an email. That includes 15 paid days off, $4,000 for new parents and a guaranteed $15 an hour minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We feel strongly that agencies should provide fair compensation and benefits for all contractors,” a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement. A Cisco representative made a similar comment, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon said contractors made up a small part — a single-digit percentage — of the company’s U.S. workforce. Also, unlike many other tech firms, Amazon encourages contractors to apply for full-time roles — with nearly 1-in-4 such workers hired for permanent jobs in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Often when they do get jobs, they aren’t hired as employees, but instead brought on as contractors. You can see that reflected in the UC Santa Cruz study numbers in Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study found that while African Americans and Latinos make up only 7% of full-time employees, they account for 26% of white-collar contractors and 56% of blue-collar contractors. So, as you go from the preferred full-time jobs down to white-collar contractors and finally blue-collar contractors, you see fewer and fewer white workers and more and more African Americans and Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study also found that contractors more often depend on public services and are vulnerable to homelessness, too, said Chris Benner, a professor of environmental studies and sociology who co-authored the study published by UC Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contract worker previously employed at Salesforce and Juul said that as a Latina she has experienced tech’s racial gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only people that I see that look like me, they’re cleaning up,” she said. “They’re doing custodial services. They’re at the front desk greeting people. They aren’t actually in the office.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They also fear they could lose their jobs by speaking out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, some tech contractors have taken a stand: In 1998, Microsoft contractors formed WashTech/CWA to fight for higher pay and benefits.

They’ve helped organize protests and published open letters to tech CEOs demanding better treatment. Some of the workers we spoke with for this story contacted us through these organizing groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under increasing pressure from workers, tech companies have been addressing the contracting model. \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/policy/technology/436939-google-will-require-healthcare-parental-leave-for-extended-workforce\">In response to a letter demanding equal treatment\u003c/a> for contractors signed by Google employees, the company said it will require staffing firms to provide health insurance, 12 hours of paid parental leave and at least $15 an hour. Staffing agencies must comply by 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one of the workers interviewed for this story succeeded in getting a full-time job. She is at a small company, different from where she did contract work, and is relieved to have some stability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants to use her role as an employee to advocate for contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping to tell people at my new company how important it is to treat their contractors with respect. How important benefits and sick time is for these workers.” She said “it’s hard to imagine changing a big tech company,” but she hopes she can stick her foot in the door where she can and push for small changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How Tech Companies are Responding\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>KQED asked 10 tech companies about their response to concerns from contract workers. Apple, Palantir, Salesforce and Juul did not respond, while Oracle and Microsoft declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting in 2015, Facebook required vendor partners to provide a minimum set of benefits to “their employees,” a spokesperson said in an email. That includes 15 paid days off, $4,000 for new parents and a guaranteed $15 an hour minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We feel strongly that agencies should provide fair compensation and benefits for all contractors,” a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement. A Cisco representative made a similar comment, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon said contractors made up a small part — a single-digit percentage — of the company’s U.S. workforce. Also, unlike many other tech firms, Amazon encourages contractors to apply for full-time roles — with nearly 1-in-4 such workers hired for permanent jobs in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
