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.",

DPR is one of the bill's sponsors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think the most serious violations warrant a higher penalty amount,\" said Charlotte Fadipe, an agency spokeswoman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have to hold people accountable if they do things that they really know they shouldn't do,\" said Quirk, chair of the Assembly's Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee. \"There has to be some enforcement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Quirk emphasizes his bill is a \"work in progress\" and that he's still working out the proposal's details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been 15 years since the state raised fine amounts for breaking pesticide laws. Advocates for farmworkers and for efforts to reduce the use of dangerous chemicals in the agricultural industry say it's time to bring more teeth to enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The current fines amount to pocket change for large-scale growers,\" said Paul Towers, organizing director at \u003ca href=\"http://www.panna.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pesticide Action Network North America\u003c/a>. \"Until the penalties are significant enough, they'll fail to deter problems with pesticide drifts in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Increasing fines will incentivize growers, farm labor contractors and those who apply pesticides to follow the rules, said Caroline Cox, a senior scientist at the Oakland-based Center for Environmental Health. The current fine amounts are the same as a \"slap on the wrist,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pushback from Farm Bureau\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one agricultural industry group is questioning whether the proposal will be effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have met with DPR and are trying to understand the need for the increased authority and fine threshold,\" said Cynthia Cory, director of environmental affairs for the California Farm Bureau Federation, in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Farm Bureau supports penalties and prompt enforcement for violation of the safe use of chemicals,\" Cory said. \"The best prevention to insure pesticides are handled correctly is continued education, which we fully support and help our farmers and ranchers obtain.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cory noted that agricultural commissioners can push for stronger penalties against pesticide violators by asking local prosecutors to pursue more egregious cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association that represents agricultural commissioners has yet to take a position on the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are internally reviewing the bill,\" said Sandy Elles, executive director of the California Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association, in an email, adding that the group's legislative committee is gathering feedback from its members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are carefully assessing the bill's impact to the state-county pesticide enforcement partnership,\" Elles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quirk emphasized that his office was working with farmworker advocates and industry representatives in talks that could lead to changes to his bill, which is scheduled to be heard in the Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee on Jan. 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recent Incidents Resulted in Fines\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That hearing comes several weeks after the Kern County agricultural commissioner imposed nearly $50,000 in fines for a series of violations against five companies in connection with an \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/12/18/firms-fined-for-pesticide-incident-that-sickened-92-near-bakersfield/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigation\u003c/a> into a pesticide incident that sickened 92 garlic harvesters on the outskirts of Bakersfield last August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That probe found that a soil fumigant, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amvac-chemical.com/Product-Details/pid/202\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vapam\u003c/a>, had been injected into a nearby field, and then seeped out of the ground and drifted. In the process of investigating that incident, the commissioner learned that at around the same time the workers were getting sick, a helicopter was spraying Vulcan, which contains \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2017/12/01/chlorpyrifos-makes-california-list-of-most-dangerous-chemicals/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chlorpyrifos\u003c/a>, which is now on the state's list of substances known to cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive harm, on a nearby field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several months ago, Kern County issued a similar fine against two companies for violating pesticide rules in an \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/08/produce-company-behind-popular-cuties-fined-over-pesticide-drift/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incident\u003c/a> that sickened 37 workers harvesting cabbage near Maricopa in May. One of the firms that faced penalties was Sun Pacific, the produce company behind the popular Cuties mandarins and clementines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county agricultural commissioner's investigation found that Vulcan and Cosavet DF, which contains sulfur, drifted a half-mile into an area where the farm employees were working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sun Pacific has contested the penalty and a hearing on the case is scheduled for March, according to Kern County Agricultural Commissioner Glenn Fankhauser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June a chemical release that sickened six raspberry pickers in Watsonville prompted an investigation by the Santa Cruz County agricultural commissioner into several companies, including two firms affiliated with the Dole Food Co. and another tied to Driscoll's, a major berry distributor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That came a week after 18 celery workers were sickened in Salinas, possibly by an insecticide, prompting an investigation by the Monterey County agricultural commissioner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz and Monterey county officials say the investigations into those incidents have yet to be completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Sonja Hutson contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: The California Farm Bureau Federation issued a revised statement after the publication of this story. It reads: \"We have serious concerns with the bill in its current form and have communicated those concerns to the author's office.

DPR is one of the bill's sponsors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think the most serious violations warrant a higher penalty amount,\" said Charlotte Fadipe, an agency spokeswoman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have to hold people accountable if they do things that they really know they shouldn't do,\" said Quirk, chair of the Assembly's Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee. \"There has to be some enforcement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Quirk emphasizes his bill is a \"work in progress\" and that he's still working out the proposal's details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been 15 years since the state raised fine amounts for breaking pesticide laws. Advocates for farmworkers and for efforts to reduce the use of dangerous chemicals in the agricultural industry say it's time to bring more teeth to enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The current fines amount to pocket change for large-scale growers,\" said Paul Towers, organizing director at \u003ca href=\"http://www.panna.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pesticide Action Network North America\u003c/a>. \"Until the penalties are significant enough, they'll fail to deter problems with pesticide drifts in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Increasing fines will incentivize growers, farm labor contractors and those who apply pesticides to follow the rules, said Caroline Cox, a senior scientist at the Oakland-based Center for Environmental Health. The current fine amounts are the same as a \"slap on the wrist,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pushback from Farm Bureau\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one agricultural industry group is questioning whether the proposal will be effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have met with DPR and are trying to understand the need for the increased authority and fine threshold,\" said Cynthia Cory, director of environmental affairs for the California Farm Bureau Federation, in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Farm Bureau supports penalties and prompt enforcement for violation of the safe use of chemicals,\" Cory said. \"The best prevention to insure pesticides are handled correctly is continued education, which we fully support and help our farmers and ranchers obtain.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cory noted that agricultural commissioners can push for stronger penalties against pesticide violators by asking local prosecutors to pursue more egregious cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association that represents agricultural commissioners has yet to take a position on the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are internally reviewing the bill,\" said Sandy Elles, executive director of the California Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association, in an email, adding that the group's legislative committee is gathering feedback from its members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are carefully assessing the bill's impact to the state-county pesticide enforcement partnership,\" Elles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quirk emphasized that his office was working with farmworker advocates and industry representatives in talks that could lead to changes to his bill, which is scheduled to be heard in the Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee on Jan. 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recent Incidents Resulted in Fines\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That hearing comes several weeks after the Kern County agricultural commissioner imposed nearly $50,000 in fines for a series of violations against five companies in connection with an \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/12/18/firms-fined-for-pesticide-incident-that-sickened-92-near-bakersfield/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigation\u003c/a> into a pesticide incident that sickened 92 garlic harvesters on the outskirts of Bakersfield last August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That probe found that a soil fumigant, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amvac-chemical.com/Product-Details/pid/202\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vapam\u003c/a>, had been injected into a nearby field, and then seeped out of the ground and drifted. In the process of investigating that incident, the commissioner learned that at around the same time the workers were getting sick, a helicopter was spraying Vulcan, which contains \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2017/12/01/chlorpyrifos-makes-california-list-of-most-dangerous-chemicals/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chlorpyrifos\u003c/a>, which is now on the state's list of substances known to cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive harm, on a nearby field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several months ago, Kern County issued a similar fine against two companies for violating pesticide rules in an \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/08/produce-company-behind-popular-cuties-fined-over-pesticide-drift/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incident\u003c/a> that sickened 37 workers harvesting cabbage near Maricopa in May. One of the firms that faced penalties was Sun Pacific, the produce company behind the popular Cuties mandarins and clementines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county agricultural commissioner's investigation found that Vulcan and Cosavet DF, which contains sulfur, drifted a half-mile into an area where the farm employees were working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sun Pacific has contested the penalty and a hearing on the case is scheduled for March, according to Kern County Agricultural Commissioner Glenn Fankhauser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June a chemical release that sickened six raspberry pickers in Watsonville prompted an investigation by the Santa Cruz County agricultural commissioner into several companies, including two firms affiliated with the Dole Food Co. and another tied to Driscoll's, a major berry distributor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That came a week after 18 celery workers were sickened in Salinas, possibly by an insecticide, prompting an investigation by the Monterey County agricultural commissioner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz and Monterey county officials say the investigations into those incidents have yet to be completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Sonja Hutson contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: The California Farm Bureau Federation issued a revised statement after the publication of this story. It reads: \"We have serious concerns with the bill in its current form and have communicated those concerns to the author's office. We hope to resolve these concerns, but are opposed to the bill in its current form.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Sen. Steve Glazer of Orinda said the state should not “hold our environmental projects hostage to a fight with one progressive employer.” Sen. Connie Leyva of Chino countered that California shouldn’t want companies to succeed at the expense of workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with regulators starting to draft the new rules, a lingering question remains. How far will California -- the first state in the nation to approve $15 minimum wage and a state that has set an ambitious goal to put 1.5 million zero emissions vehicles on the road by 2025 -- go in order to graft its blue values onto the green sector?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In politics, your oldest friends are your best friends,” said Dan Schnur, former head of California’s campaign watchdog agency and now a professor at the University of Southern California. “The tech people may have come to Sacramento with a lot of money and with an agenda that dovetails with the governor and legislators’ policy priorities, but they’re still the new guys on the block. Labor’s been there for a long, long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now state regulators -- at both the state Air Resources Board and the Labor & Workforce Development Agency -- will hold public hearings and draft rules for certifying automakers who want their vehicles to qualify for California rebates. The Legislature will then need to approve those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the points of contention:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>What is “fair and responsible” to auto workers?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How will the state weigh wage and benefit standards, or training and safety requirements, against manufacturing costs?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>How will the state certify vehicles made outside of California or even out of the country, such as in Mexico and China, where wages are lower and labor regulations are less stringent? Or will automakers self-police by adhering to a code of conduct?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Dean Florez, a former Democratic state lawmaker and a member of the air board, said California can have both labor protections and environmental leadership as the state charts new territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t be using public money to fund or support companies that do not meet basic worker protections,” Florez said. “We shouldn’t undercut the labor protections that we have fought for, for so many years. And I think that there is a danger in doing so; I think we would lose the confidence of the public for environmental leadership in the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s new requirement will apply to all automakers, but it couldn’t have come at a worse time for Tesla, a company that prides itself on innovation and disrupting the status quo. When plant workers went public with complaints about \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@moran2017j/time-for-tesla-to-listen-ab5c6259fc88\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">low pay, long hours and unsafe conditions\u003c/a>, Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk labeled labor’s tactics “\u003ca href=\"https://electrek.co/2017/02/24/tesla-union-elon-musk-addresses-employees/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">disingenuous or outright false\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While making $17 to $21 an hour is above minimum wage, Tesla employee Jose Moran noted that a living wage in the San Francisco Bay Area is a lot higher -- around $28. Musk responded that Tesla’s compensation package is higher than General Motors, Ford and Fiat when including Tesla’s employee stock program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company wouldn’t comment now, beyond referring back to what its policy director Sanjay Ranchod told lawmakers at a September hearing: “The company is committed to protecting the health and safety of its workers, and we are committed to continue and to make progress towards our goal of becoming the safest auto factory in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the nation’s newest automaker, Tesla is also on track to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-02/evs-from-tesla-and-gm-may-start-losing-their-tax-credits\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the first\u003c/a> to max out on a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 per vehicle. And with its Model 3 sedans pitched as its affordable electric car at $35,000, Tesla will need California’s rebate more than ever to compete against other electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf or Chevrolet Bolt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business boosters wonder why the state would single out clean-energy vehicles over gasoline cars for greater scrutiny when \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/zevprog/zevprog.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">40 percent\u003c/a> of the state’s greenhouse gases come from tailpipe emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They worry Sacramento’s pro-labor stance will dissuade companies from locating or expanding in California. Already, Tesla located its first battery factory just outside the state line in Sparks, Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politicians say they want good-paying jobs, and to grow manufacturing and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, “and yet, we’re in the ironic place where Tesla is being attacked by some elected officials relative to whether or not their workers are unionized,” said Carl Guardino, head of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, a trade association representing nearly 400 Silicon Valley employers, including Tesla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is home to about 10,000 auto industry workers, virtually all from Tesla. That’s compared to 38,000 in Michigan, 24,000 in Kentucky and 20,000 in Ohio, according to the U.S. Labor Department’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.bls.gov/iag/tgs/iagauto.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bureau of Labor Statistics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union representatives say the goal is not to slow the production of clean energy vehicles. Rather, they maintain, if taxpayer money is being used to help sell cars, then it’s up to the state to make sure it results in good-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is all part of our work at the labor movement to make sure there’s accountability for public investments,” said Angie Wei, an influential lobbyist for the California Labor Federation, the umbrella group for unions including the UAW. “If we’re going to put taxpayer money into it, then we’d sure better be getting something out of it for jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union also is trying to maintain its role as the auto industry makes big bets on electric vehicles. Just this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/business/energy-environment/volvo-hybrid-electric-car.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Volvo\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/10/02/death-of-diesel-begins-as-gm-announces-plans-for-all-electric-future/?utm_term=.89c8dd93f339\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GM\u003c/a> announced plans to phase out conventional engines. The union can also use a win in labor-friendly California after losing an organizing effort at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/05/business/nissan-united-auto-workers-union-mississippi.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nissan plant in Mississippi\u003c/a>, a right-to-work state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting the Nummi plant that Tesla took over in Fremont was represented by the union before the joint venture between GM and Toyota closed in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is about Tesla and it isn’t about Tesla,” Wei said. “We had a gas-and-combustion industry that for decades created good middle-class jobs. They’re now being replaced by electric vehicles. This is our new economy, and with major public investment. The question is are we going to allow the auto industry to create and maintain middle class jobs? Or are they going to become the next Walmartization of the economy?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento has placed itself at the forefront of cleaning up the environment. Gov. Jerry Brown and fellow Democratic lawmakers have \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/leaving-europe-brown-says-hes-talked-enough-wants-get-something-done/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pitched California as a model to the world\u003c/a> for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change in direct response to the Trump administration’s anti-regulatory philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California has also had a longstanding relationship with labor unions, stepping up the minimum wage and offering access to paid sick and family leave. In recent years, the California Labor Federation has successfully pushed legislation to protect immigrant workers from threats of deportation and expanded authority for the state to go after employers who skirt overtime or minimum-wage laws. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lobbying reports show Tesla spent $189,237 on lobbying in the 3-month cycle during which the bill was debated, compared to $103,351 for the labor federation. But labor’s might comes also from being able to mobilize its members on issues and during elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers who struggled to prioritize the interests of two political allies will have more to soul-searching to do next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638714\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11638714\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-375x563.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Catura, 33, a battery pack line worker at Tesla. \u003ccite>(Penni Gladstone for CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Democratic Sen. Scott Weiner of San Francisco, who has a record of advancing the green economy and supporting prevailing wage to maintain union pay on public works projects, said he was unhappy that the so called “Tesla rule” had been inserted at the last minute. “This is significant and important enough that it should be vetted through a normal legislative process with public scrutiny. That to me is the best way to come to the right solution,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His fellow Democratic lawmaker and San Franciscan Phil Ting, who chairs the Assembly Budget Committee and authored the measure, insisted it strikes “a good middle ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We could have said you’re not going to get any money unless your workforce is unionized. That could have been something we inserted. We didn’t,” Ting said in an interview. “Having said that, we also could have done nothing. So if you look at the two extremes where we could done nothing or we could have dictated the type of workforce, I think this is the middle of those extremes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the decision to unionize remains up to workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Catura, 33, a battery pack line worker who has been at Tesla for nearly four years, said he supports joining the union because it would mean a higher wage and seniority for him. As the son of a postal worker, Catura said he has been disappointed that he has been passed over for promotions because supervisors can play favorites. He said he started at $17 an hour and now makes $21 an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Catura has one message for Elon Musk: “I would tell him, ‘Hey man, scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.

And with its Model 3 sedans pitched as its affordable electric car at $35,000, Tesla will need California’s rebate more than ever to compete against other electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf or Chevrolet Bolt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business boosters wonder why the state would single out clean-energy vehicles over gasoline cars for greater scrutiny when \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/zevprog/zevprog.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">40 percent\u003c/a> of the state’s greenhouse gases come from tailpipe emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They worry Sacramento’s pro-labor stance will dissuade companies from locating or expanding in California. Already, Tesla located its first battery factory just outside the state line in Sparks, Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politicians say they want good-paying jobs, and to grow manufacturing and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, “and yet, we’re in the ironic place where Tesla is being attacked by some elected officials relative to whether or not their workers are unionized,” said Carl Guardino, head of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, a trade association representing nearly 400 Silicon Valley employers, including Tesla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is home to about 10,000 auto industry workers, virtually all from Tesla. That’s compared to 38,000 in Michigan, 24,000 in Kentucky and 20,000 in Ohio, according to the U.S. Labor Department’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.bls.gov/iag/tgs/iagauto.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bureau of Labor Statistics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union representatives say the goal is not to slow the production of clean energy vehicles. Rather, they maintain, if taxpayer money is being used to help sell cars, then it’s up to the state to make sure it results in good-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is all part of our work at the labor movement to make sure there’s accountability for public investments,” said Angie Wei, an influential lobbyist for the California Labor Federation, the umbrella group for unions including the UAW. “If we’re going to put taxpayer money into it, then we’d sure better be getting something out of it for jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union also is trying to maintain its role as the auto industry makes big bets on electric vehicles. Just this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/business/energy-environment/volvo-hybrid-electric-car.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Volvo\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/10/02/death-of-diesel-begins-as-gm-announces-plans-for-all-electric-future/?utm_term=.89c8dd93f339\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GM\u003c/a> announced plans to phase out conventional engines. The union can also use a win in labor-friendly California after losing an organizing effort at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/05/business/nissan-united-auto-workers-union-mississippi.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nissan plant in Mississippi\u003c/a>, a right-to-work state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting the Nummi plant that Tesla took over in Fremont was represented by the union before the joint venture between GM and Toyota closed in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is about Tesla and it isn’t about Tesla,” Wei said. “We had a gas-and-combustion industry that for decades created good middle-class jobs. They’re now being replaced by electric vehicles. This is our new economy, and with major public investment. The question is are we going to allow the auto industry to create and maintain middle class jobs? Or are they going to become the next Walmartization of the economy?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento has placed itself at the forefront of cleaning up the environment. Gov. Jerry Brown and fellow Democratic lawmakers have \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/leaving-europe-brown-says-hes-talked-enough-wants-get-something-done/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pitched California as a model to the world\u003c/a> for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change in direct response to the Trump administration’s anti-regulatory philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California has also had a longstanding relationship with labor unions, stepping up the minimum wage and offering access to paid sick and family leave. In recent years, the California Labor Federation has successfully pushed legislation to protect immigrant workers from threats of deportation and expanded authority for the state to go after employers who skirt overtime or minimum-wage laws. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lobbying reports show Tesla spent $189,237 on lobbying in the 3-month cycle during which the bill was debated, compared to $103,351 for the labor federation. But labor’s might comes also from being able to mobilize its members on issues and during elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers who struggled to prioritize the interests of two political allies will have more to soul-searching to do next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638714\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11638714\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/TESLA_Catura_004-400x600-375x563.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Catura, 33, a battery pack line worker at Tesla. \u003ccite>(Penni Gladstone for CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Democratic Sen. Scott Weiner of San Francisco, who has a record of advancing the green economy and supporting prevailing wage to maintain union pay on public works projects, said he was unhappy that the so called “Tesla rule” had been inserted at the last minute. “This is significant and important enough that it should be vetted through a normal legislative process with public scrutiny. That to me is the best way to come to the right solution,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His fellow Democratic lawmaker and San Franciscan Phil Ting, who chairs the Assembly Budget Committee and authored the measure, insisted it strikes “a good middle ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We could have said you’re not going to get any money unless your workforce is unionized. That could have been something we inserted. We didn’t,” Ting said in an interview. “Having said that, we also could have done nothing. So if you look at the two extremes where we could done nothing or we could have dictated the type of workforce, I think this is the middle of those extremes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the decision to unionize remains up to workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Catura, 33, a battery pack line worker who has been at Tesla for nearly four years, said he supports joining the union because it would mean a higher wage and seniority for him. As the son of a postal worker, Catura said he has been disappointed that he has been passed over for promotions because supervisors can play favorites. He said he started at $17 an hour and now makes $21 an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Catura has one message for Elon Musk: “I would tell him, ‘Hey man, scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. Give us more than just a bone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
