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.",

And if PG&E thinks that number is too high, you’ll have a process with them where they’ll go back and forth with you about what they think you’re actually owed. And for that, it can be helpful to have a lawyer. But right now, you don’t need a lawyer at all. You just need to fill out the form.

"content": "\u003cp>Temporary seasonal farmworkers will see wages decrease if a visa rule change proposed by the Trump administration goes through, and labor advocates worry that it also could lead to pay cuts for other domestic farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agriculture industry experts say the decreased costs will provide some much-needed relief for growers. The H-2A program allows agricultural employers to temporarily employ guest workers from other countries if there is a shortage of workers willing to take the jobs they offer. Some H-2A workers said they would still participate in the program even if they saw their wages go down, as they would make far more in six months as H-2A workers than they would doing the same work at home in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\", citation=\"Michael Marsh, president and CEO of the National Council of Agricultural Employers\"]'This will continue to erode domestic farmers' profitability while continuing to press upward domestic workers' wages unsustainably.'[/pullquote]Orlando, who declined to give his last name for fear of losing his job, came to the Salinas Valley on an H-2A visa to pick strawberries. Picking strawberries is particularly difficult as it requires the picker to spend the day bent at the waist, gently twisting ripe strawberries off each bush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking in Spanish, Orlando said he sent the majority of his money home to his family in Michoacán, so his children could afford clothes and books for school. He supported his entire family, he said, and even if the wages in the U.S. dropped, he would still reapply for a job as an H-2A worker. The money was too good to pass up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His roommate, César, who would only his first name for the same reason, agreed with Orlando. “It’s the reason why we come,” he added in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Announced in July, the Trump administration’s proposed changes to the H-2A visa came shortly after the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) increased across the U.S. The changes would alter how the AEWR, which is the minimum hourly wage needed to attract noncitizen, seasonal workers, is calculated, lowering the hourly wage to benefit growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Labor calculates the AEWR annually, and each state has a different one that employers must meet. Growers who employ H-2A workers have the option to pay workers whichever is higher: the AEWR, the agreed-upon amount set in a collective bargaining agreement, or the state or federal minimum wage. In some states, that list also includes the prevailing wage, based upon surveys of employees in similar positions within the same field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11780833\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/GettyImages-164224998-800x551.jpg\" alt=\"Migrant workers harvest strawberries at a farm March 13, 2013 near Oxnard, California. \" width=\"800\" height=\"551\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11780833\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Migrant workers harvest strawberries at a farm March 13, 2013 near Oxnard, California. \u003ccite>(Joe Klamar/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>From 2018 to 2019, California saw an increase of 6% in its AEWR, according to the Farm Bureau, driving the hourly wage from $13.18 to $13.92. Other states, such as Colorado, saw their AEWR increase by as much as 23%. Farmer advocates say growers and employers cannot sustain the pace of pay growth, which rarely drops. Between 2009 and 2014, the AEWR increased from $10.16 to just over $11, data from the Department of Labor shows. Today, it stands at just under $14 in California. Other states, including Washington, pay just over $15 an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This will continue to erode domestic farmers’ profitability while continuing to press upward domestic workers’ wages unsustainably,” said President and CEO of the National Council of Agricultural Employers, Michael Marsh. “You’ll see farmers expanding fruit and vegetable production in Canada and Mexico, where the wage rates are significantly lower than they have to pay in the U.S. About half the fresh fruit in the U.S. is produced in a foreign country, and about a third of the vegetables.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And others say the wage rate is not just unsustainable, but unfairly calculated in the first place, and badly in need of a fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe the AEWR is skewed, because that is based on regions of the United States,” said Sara Neagu-Reed, associate director of Federal Policy for the California Farm Bureau. “So you’re comparing a combine driver in Idaho to a blueberry picker in Salinas Valley. That’s why we think it’s flawed, and it’s better to go with the proposed rule, so you’re looking at calculations by job categories, and individuals who are all in the table grape or berry-picking category.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"farmworkers\" label=\"Related Content\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the “Salad Bowl of the World,” Monterey County Farm Bureau Executive Director Norm Groot argued that revamping the AEWR calculation model, resulting in a lower hourly wage for H-2A workers, would help farmers significantly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have temporary workers who are being paid more and domestic workers who technically could be paid less, but they have to be paid the same anyway, and so it has this wage inflation proponent in it,” Groot said. “What we’re trying to do is get that to tied not only to the inflation index, but also to the economy. If the economy goes down, then the adverse wage rate also goes down. Currently, it doesn’t get adjusted down, so you have an economy that’s slumping and you’re still paying those high wages.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the proposed H-2A guidelines also fail to take into account year-round agriculture, as takes place in the Salinas Valley, Groot added. He said that problem could be solved by simply increasing the number of green cards with an agriculture or horticultural preference, or adding an at-will provision so H-2A workers are tied to an area, and not one specific grower. That would help growers and farmworkers, Groot said, as growers don’t always have fields that need picking and H-2A workers only get paid for the days they work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If wages lower, it could put added pressure on an already struggling population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salinas tops the list of places in the U.S. with the highest concentration of farmworkers. According to the Department of Labor, 31,700 people worked as farmworkers in Salinas in 2018. In the Salinas and Pajaro valleys combined, just over 4,000 farmworkers were H-2A workers in 2017. The mean wage drawn by a farmworker in Salinas in 2018 was $28,940, statistics from the Department of Labor showed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11780790\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS8926_Drought_JoshC-4394-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Farm fields outside of Los Banos, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11780790\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Farm fields outside of Los Banos, California. \u003ccite>(Josh Cassidy/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Salinas is also one of the most expensive places in the U.S. to live, with rent prices sitting at about double the national average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of farmworkers are Latino, and a new report from Oakland’s Insight Center for Community Development found 52% of Latino households have trouble paying for basic expenses, such as housing, food or electricity. The number of Latino households struggling increased from 49% in 2014, the report showed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is due, in part, to Latinos often making a lower wage. The median income for Latino households in 2016 was $56,200, far lower than the statewide average of $78,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmworker advocates worry the Trump administration’s proposal to drop the wages paid to H-2A workers will adversely affect domestic farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What the proposed regulation seeks to do is change the formula for how it’s calculated,” said Marichel Mejia, national field coordinator for the United Farm Workers Foundation. “One of the ways that they are adjusting this formula is basing wages based on a survey on farm labor contractors and the wages they pay. Farm labor contractors notoriously pay way less versus farmworkers who are direct hires from the company.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pay for domestic farmworkers is tied legally to H-2A pay; the hourly wage H-2A workers receive must be higher than the wages domestic workers receive. Some growers compensate domestic workers at the same rate as H-2A workers, or pay domestic workers a piece rate on top of a lower hourly wage that can help them earn higher wages overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\", citation=\"Marichel Mejia, national field coordinator for the United Farm Workers Foundation\"]'Farmworkers are hardworking people who do some of the most difficult jobs in this country and they bring food to all of our tables. It’s hard, difficult work that’s dignified, so they should not have their wages going down.'[/pullquote]Advocates such as the United Farm Workers Foundation worry that when noncitizen workers are paid less under the Trump administration proposal, all farmworkers will likely see their earnings decrease. Growers may hire farm labor contractors, as opposed to hiring workers, directly in order to reduce their paperwork, cut down on worker recruitment efforts, reduce legal liability, avoid unionization or labor management disputes and cut their own costs, a 2010 report out of the California Institute for Rural Studies shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the same report shows abuses have been reported against farm labor contractors since the earliest days of the system in 1928. Those abuses continue to this day as wage and labor violations as well as retaliatory actions, like firing workers for complaining about being sprayed with pesticides. The administration’s proposal also would require employers to pay less for transportation of the H-2A farmworkers from their native country to their place of work as well as decrease annual housing inspections of H-2A housing, carried out by federal inspectors, to once every two years. Employers would also have the option to self-certify that housing meets H-2A standards instead of undergoing a government inspection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This in particular rang alarm bells at the UFW, Mejia said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Farmworkers are hardworking people who do some of the most difficult jobs in this country and they bring food to all of our tables,” said Mejia. “It’s hard, difficult work that’s dignified, so they should not have their wages going down.

Picking strawberries is particularly difficult as it requires the picker to spend the day bent at the waist, gently twisting ripe strawberries off each bush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking in Spanish, Orlando said he sent the majority of his money home to his family in Michoacán, so his children could afford clothes and books for school. He supported his entire family, he said, and even if the wages in the U.S. dropped, he would still reapply for a job as an H-2A worker. The money was too good to pass up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His roommate, César, who would only his first name for the same reason, agreed with Orlando. “It’s the reason why we come,” he added in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Announced in July, the Trump administration’s proposed changes to the H-2A visa came shortly after the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) increased across the U.S. The changes would alter how the AEWR, which is the minimum hourly wage needed to attract noncitizen, seasonal workers, is calculated, lowering the hourly wage to benefit growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Labor calculates the AEWR annually, and each state has a different one that employers must meet. Growers who employ H-2A workers have the option to pay workers whichever is higher: the AEWR, the agreed-upon amount set in a collective bargaining agreement, or the state or federal minimum wage. In some states, that list also includes the prevailing wage, based upon surveys of employees in similar positions within the same field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11780833\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/GettyImages-164224998-800x551.jpg\" alt=\"Migrant workers harvest strawberries at a farm March 13, 2013 near Oxnard, California. \" width=\"800\" height=\"551\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11780833\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Migrant workers harvest strawberries at a farm March 13, 2013 near Oxnard, California. \u003ccite>(Joe Klamar/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>From 2018 to 2019, California saw an increase of 6% in its AEWR, according to the Farm Bureau, driving the hourly wage from $13.18 to $13.92. Other states, such as Colorado, saw their AEWR increase by as much as 23%. Farmer advocates say growers and employers cannot sustain the pace of pay growth, which rarely drops. Between 2009 and 2014, the AEWR increased from $10.16 to just over $11, data from the Department of Labor shows. Today, it stands at just under $14 in California. Other states, including Washington, pay just over $15 an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This will continue to erode domestic farmers’ profitability while continuing to press upward domestic workers’ wages unsustainably,” said President and CEO of the National Council of Agricultural Employers, Michael Marsh. “You’ll see farmers expanding fruit and vegetable production in Canada and Mexico, where the wage rates are significantly lower than they have to pay in the U.S. About half the fresh fruit in the U.S. is produced in a foreign country, and about a third of the vegetables.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If the economy goes down, then the adverse wage rate also goes down. Currently, it doesn’t get adjusted down, so you have an economy that’s slumping and you’re still paying those high wages.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the proposed H-2A guidelines also fail to take into account year-round agriculture, as takes place in the Salinas Valley, Groot added. He said that problem could be solved by simply increasing the number of green cards with an agriculture or horticultural preference, or adding an at-will provision so H-2A workers are tied to an area, and not one specific grower. That would help growers and farmworkers, Groot said, as growers don’t always have fields that need picking and H-2A workers only get paid for the days they work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If wages lower, it could put added pressure on an already struggling population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salinas tops the list of places in the U.S. with the highest concentration of farmworkers. According to the Department of Labor, 31,700 people worked as farmworkers in Salinas in 2018. In the Salinas and Pajaro valleys combined, just over 4,000 farmworkers were H-2A workers in 2017. The mean wage drawn by a farmworker in Salinas in 2018 was $28,940, statistics from the Department of Labor showed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11780790\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS8926_Drought_JoshC-4394-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Farm fields outside of Los Banos, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11780790\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Farm fields outside of Los Banos, California. \u003ccite>(Josh Cassidy/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Salinas is also one of the most expensive places in the U.S. to live, with rent prices sitting at about double the national average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of farmworkers are Latino, and a new report from Oakland’s Insight Center for Community Development found 52% of Latino households have trouble paying for basic expenses, such as housing, food or electricity. The number of Latino households struggling increased from 49% in 2014, the report showed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is due, in part, to Latinos often making a lower wage. The median income for Latino households in 2016 was $56,200, far lower than the statewide average of $78,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmworker advocates worry the Trump administration’s proposal to drop the wages paid to H-2A workers will adversely affect domestic farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What the proposed regulation seeks to do is change the formula for how it’s calculated,” said Marichel Mejia, national field coordinator for the United Farm Workers Foundation. “One of the ways that they are adjusting this formula is basing wages based on a survey on farm labor contractors and the wages they pay. Farm labor contractors notoriously pay way less versus farmworkers who are direct hires from the company.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pay for domestic farmworkers is tied legally to H-2A pay; the hourly wage H-2A workers receive must be higher than the wages domestic workers receive. Some growers compensate domestic workers at the same rate as H-2A workers, or pay domestic workers a piece rate on top of a lower hourly wage that can help them earn higher wages overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Growers may hire farm labor contractors, as opposed to hiring workers, directly in order to reduce their paperwork, cut down on worker recruitment efforts, reduce legal liability, avoid unionization or labor management disputes and cut their own costs, a 2010 report out of the California Institute for Rural Studies shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the same report shows abuses have been reported against farm labor contractors since the earliest days of the system in 1928. Those abuses continue to this day as wage and labor violations as well as retaliatory actions, like firing workers for complaining about being sprayed with pesticides. The administration’s proposal also would require employers to pay less for transportation of the H-2A farmworkers from their native country to their place of work as well as decrease annual housing inspections of H-2A housing, carried out by federal inspectors, to once every two years. Employers would also have the option to self-certify that housing meets H-2A standards instead of undergoing a government inspection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This in particular rang alarm bells at the UFW, Mejia said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Farmworkers are hardworking people who do some of the most difficult jobs in this country and they bring food to all of our tables,” said Mejia. “It’s hard, difficult work that’s dignified, so they should not have their wages going down.

Five years later, Hernandez and dozens of other employees haven’t received a dime, according to labor organizers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wage theft — a term that covers various types of pay violations — occurs with alarming frequency in California. Many employers, large and small, shortchange their workers by not paying them the minimum wage or required overtime, making improper deductions or refusing to pay them altogether. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, minimum wage violations in California alone occur approximately \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/BOFE_LegReport2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">372,000 times each week\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low-income workers (those paid less than $14.35 per hour in 2017), who make up \u003ca href=\"http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/low-wage-work-in-california/#the-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">about a third\u003c/a> of California’s workforce, are especially vulnerable, and can suffer severe hardship when shorted on their pay. Every year, tens of millions of dollars are siphoned from workers like Hernandez, who clean restaurants, pick fruit, wait tables, repair cars, stock warehouses, sew clothes and care for the sick and elderly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Risking retaliation, many workers seek help from the government. In California, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division enforces federal pay rules. But to add muscle to its efforts, the state Labor Commissioner's Office runs a parallel enforcement program. It allows workers to pursue unpaid wages through hearings, where administrative officers award or reject their claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the majority of cases — roughly 80% — employers pay at least a portion of the claim before any judgment can be issued, said Matthew Sirolly, an attorney with the Labor Commissioner’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when workers don’t reach a settlement, they rarely get their money. A landmark study of California wage claims between 2008 and 2011 found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.labor.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HollowVictories.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">just 17% of workers\u003c/a> who won a Labor Commission judgment received even some of their pay. To avoid paying up, many of these employers shuttered their companies or hid assets, leaving workers nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some person of authority — a judge or an administrative hearing officer — says this particular employer has broken the law and owes you money for your wages. But all it means is you get a piece of paper that they don’t have to pay,” said Matthew DeCarolis, an attorney at Bet Tzedek, a nonprofit legal aid firm in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The press releases suggesting victories for underpaid workers do not hint at the years-long struggles that may lie ahead. For this story, FairWarning conducted more than 20 interviews and reviewed hundreds of pages of documents obtained under the California Public Records Act and from court files, to determine the actual outcome of these cases. In some instances, workers ultimately got nothing or, years later, are still waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11780074\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 354px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/Herrera2-e1570561110272.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-11780074\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/Herrera2-e1570561110272.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"354\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/Herrera2-e1570561110272.jpg 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/Herrera2-e1570561110272-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/Herrera2-e1570561110272-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jose Herrera is owed over $200,000 by his former employer, the transportation firm XPO Logistics.

In April 2012, a van driver named Bin Wu filed an administrative claim with the Labor Commissioner that accused the San Francisco-based shuttle business of \u003ca href=\"https://qhi7a3oj76cn9awl3qcqrh3o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/DLSE-v.-American-Airporter-Shuttle-Notice-of-Findings-and-Order-5.6.16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">numerous violations\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wu testified that he usually worked 13-hour days, and that the company asked him to work through meal breaks. He also wasn’t allowed to refuse assignments, but the shuttle firm classified him as an independent contractor, which would exempt them from wage regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to his testimony, Wu didn’t understand his contractor agreement because he received a copy in English, even though he speaks only Mandarin Chinese. Five other drivers subsequently filed similar claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, following an investigation, the Labor Commissioner issued citations to American Airporter and its owner, Phillip Achilles, saying the they illegally misclassified its drivers as contractors. The company appealed, a new hearing was held, and in May 2016 an administrative officer \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2016/2016-53.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affirmed the citations\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened next highlights the lengths some employers will go to fight citations, and the difficulty of recovering stolen wages through the legal system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 16, 2016, after the state Labor Commissioner affirmed American Airporter’s citations, the company \u003ca href=\"https://qhi7a3oj76cn9awl3qcqrh3o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Achilles-Writ-of-Mandate.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contested the findings\u003c/a> in San Francisco Superior Court. But for the next two years, Achilles did nothing to advance his plea. In court briefs, the Labor Commissioner asserted that he had instead worked secretly to hide his assets. FairWarning was unable to reach Achilles. An attorney who represents the drivers declined to speak on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2017, the Labor Commissioner discovered that Achilles was \u003ca href=\"https://qhi7a3oj76cn9awl3qcqrh3o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Achilles-Demand-Letter-Fraudulent-Transfer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trying to sell\u003c/a> a building he owned in downtown San Francisco.

A \u003ca href=\"https://qhi7a3oj76cn9awl3qcqrh3o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Achilles-Trial-Date.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trial date\u003c/a> has been set for Dec. 16, but Matthew Sirolly, the Labor Commissioner attorney, said it’s unlikely the case will reach this stage because the agency has asked the court to enforce a sheriff’s sale of Achilles’ real estate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he noted, the legal system can move at a “glacial” pace, which means an immediate sale of the property is unlikely. Sirolly said the hope is for a sale by early 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in less extreme cases, hurdles for underpaid workers remain high. They need to identify their employer’s bank account or real property, which can be difficult if the information on their pay stubs is missing or incorrect. Some bosses close their companies and reopen under different names. In 50% of cases where the Labor Commissioner found that an employer owed wages, the employer \u003ca href=\"https://www.labor.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HollowVictories.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sold, transferred or abandoned their business\u003c/a> before the judgment was even delivered, according to a joint study by the UCLA Labor Center and National Employment Law Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really is a structural problem within these industries where it’s really difficult to be able to collect those wages,” said Jennifer Lin, of the employment law project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 2014, the Labor Commissioner announced citations over $1.5 million against two janitorial companies in Southern California — NLP Janitorial and Coast to Coast West — for \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2014/2014-42.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">failing to pay\u003c/a> their workers minimum wage or overtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Georgina Hernandez, one of the former employees, told FairWarning that she worked 12-hour days cleaning movie theaters and restaurants without overtime or breaks. She said she and her coworkers finally went to the Labor Commissioner after her boss laid them off without paying for their last month of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The loss of a month’s pay had life-altering consequences for Hernandez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking through a translator, she explained that she lost her apartment and spent two days sleeping on the street before finding a place to stay. For a while, she said, she couldn’t afford to feed her daughter. Others were in similar straits — at one point, Hernandez shared $10 with a former co-worker who couldn’t afford basic necessities like milk or tortillas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"wage-theft\"]Following the citations, NLP and Coast to Coast negotiated with state labor officials and agreed to pay a settlement to their former workers. But before paying up, both companies shut down and the owners disappeared, according to an organizer with the Maintenance Cooperation Trust Fund, an advocacy group for janitorial employees, that assisted the workers with their wage claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Labor Commissioner got a court order to stop both companies from operating in California as long as they had unpaid judgments, Sirolly said. But NLP and Coast to Coast escaped the state’s jurisdiction by moving to Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sirolly said the office reached out to its counterpart in Texas to enforce the judgments, only to learn that the Texas was struggling to collect its own wage claims against the companies. He added that it’s unlikely payments will ever be made to workers in either state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar thing happened to Southern California custodial worker Hilaria Corral. In 2014, the Labor Commissioner \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2014/2014-98.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cited her employer\u003c/a>, Spirit Airport Services, for failing to pay overtime and minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corral said she had expected it would take time to get her back wages—perhaps as long as a year. But the company left California without paying anything to Corral, according to an organizer with the Maintenance Cooperation Trust Fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[I’ve] suffered greatly,” Corral said through a translator, adding that she’s worried something like this will happen to her again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If enforcing wage claims against fly-by-night operators is difficult, it's equally hard against powerful companies with seemingly limitless resources to stall wage theft cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April 2017, a Los Angeles County truck driver named Jose Herrera \u003ca href=\"https://qhi7a3oj76cn9awl3qcqrh3o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/XPO-Cartage-DLSE-ODAs-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">won an award\u003c/a> of nearly $280,000 from his employer XPO Logistics Inc., a multinational transportation and logistics company headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, that reported \u003ca href=\"https://news.xpo.com/en-us/news/1910/xpo-logistics-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2018-results/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than $17 billion in revenue\u003c/a> last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herrera had filed a claim in March 2016 with the Labor Commissioner that accused XPO of misclassifying him as an independent contractor. Today, Herrera’s judgment remains just a piece of paper. For the past two years, XPO has fought the judgment in an appeal that is still pending in Long Beach Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>XPO did not respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Julie Dickinson, an attorney who has represented XPO workers in a different wage case, said the transportation company’s active wage and hour liability, both from private litigation and state claims, is estimated at over $185 million. With a hefty litigation budget, she said, XPO can fight these battles for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The delays are astronomical,” Dickinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Herrera’s case, the delay is potentially life threatening. In 2018, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In quick succession, he lost his job and his health insurance. Even though he’s owed more than $200,000, according to court records, Herrera said he has to live on a small social security income that leaves him with about $200 each month after he pays for his housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really bad,” Herrera said. “Now that I’m not working and don’t have any income coming in, it’s hard because I have to watch everything I spend, everything I eat.” In September, a Long Beach Superior Court affirmed the Labor Commissioner’s 2017 decision. XPO is expected to appeal the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manuel Martinez, a driver who works for XPO, spent seven years fighting the company for unpaid wages. After winning a settlement for a confidential sum earlier this year, Martinez visited family in Guatemala, taking his first vacation in five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez said he was stunned to find that while he was away, XPO deducted hundreds of dollars for insurance, gas and administrative costs as if he had been working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[I] felt absolutely frustrated because I had made so little on that paycheck,” Martinez said through a translator. Martinez added that he had to dip into his settlement money to pay for maintenance to his truck, and he fears that he’ll ultimately have to file for bankruptcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[I] thought the company was going to make a change — [I] thought they were going to stop,” he said. “But at this point they’re doing it again, and it feels like XPO’s treatment is a laugh in the face of justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some signs that post-judgment collections are improving in California. Last year, the Bureau of Field Enforcement recovered nearly $10.5 million in unpaid wage judgments — \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/BOFE_LegReport2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than double\u003c/a> the previous year. Tia Koonse, a staff attorney with the UCLA Labor Center, said Julie Su, who served as Labor Commissioner office from 2011 through 2018, improved enforcement by focusing on investigations of California’s underground economy and strengthening partnerships with community groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su was tapped earlier this year by Gov. Gavin Newsom to head the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency. The Labor Commissioner’s Office refused FairWarning's request to interview Lilia Garcia-Brower, Su’s replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent law, SB 588, gives the agency new powers to collect post-judgment money. According to Sirolly, the agency has also started to sue companies to prevent fraudulent transfers and bankruptcies designed to hide their assets. In Los Angeles, a pilot program to help day laborers file a measure known as a mechanics' lien boasts a nearly 100% collection rate, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the parade of news releases from the Labor Commissioner’s Office continues to announce its citations and the big dollars attached: $631,000 against a Daly City residential care facility in July; over$2.36 million against a Culver City car wash in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sirolly said the office has done a lot of work to hold these sorts of employers accountable. But this isn’t much comfort to a worker like Jose Herrera, who says he sometimes wakes up in the night wondering if he’ll ever see a nickel of his wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you get to a point where nothing is going your way and you have no money to pay [bills], that’s when it gets to you and you feel like ‘what am I going to do now?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fairwarning.org/2019/10/clawing-back-stolen-wages/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This story\u003c/a> was produced by \u003ca href=\"http://www.fairwarning.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FairWarning\u003c/a>, a nonprofit news organization based in Southern California that focuses on public health, consumer, workplace and environmental issues.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, minimum wage violations in California alone occur approximately \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/BOFE_LegReport2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">372,000 times each week\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low-income workers (those paid less than $14.35 per hour in 2017), who make up \u003ca href=\"http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/low-wage-work-in-california/#the-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">about a third\u003c/a> of California’s workforce, are especially vulnerable, and can suffer severe hardship when shorted on their pay. Every year, tens of millions of dollars are siphoned from workers like Hernandez, who clean restaurants, pick fruit, wait tables, repair cars, stock warehouses, sew clothes and care for the sick and elderly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Risking retaliation, many workers seek help from the government. In California, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division enforces federal pay rules. But to add muscle to its efforts, the state Labor Commissioner's Office runs a parallel enforcement program. It allows workers to pursue unpaid wages through hearings, where administrative officers award or reject their claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the majority of cases — roughly 80% — employers pay at least a portion of the claim before any judgment can be issued, said Matthew Sirolly, an attorney with the Labor Commissioner’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when workers don’t reach a settlement, they rarely get their money. A landmark study of California wage claims between 2008 and 2011 found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.labor.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HollowVictories.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">just 17% of workers\u003c/a> who won a Labor Commission judgment received even some of their pay. To avoid paying up, many of these employers shuttered their companies or hid assets, leaving workers nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some person of authority — a judge or an administrative hearing officer — says this particular employer has broken the law and owes you money for your wages. But all it means is you get a piece of paper that they don’t have to pay,” said Matthew DeCarolis, an attorney at Bet Tzedek, a nonprofit legal aid firm in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The press releases suggesting victories for underpaid workers do not hint at the years-long struggles that may lie ahead. For this story, FairWarning conducted more than 20 interviews and reviewed hundreds of pages of documents obtained under the California Public Records Act and from court files, to determine the actual outcome of these cases. In some instances, workers ultimately got nothing or, years later, are still waiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11780074\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 354px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/Herrera2-e1570561110272.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-11780074\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/Herrera2-e1570561110272.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"354\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/Herrera2-e1570561110272.jpg 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/Herrera2-e1570561110272-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/Herrera2-e1570561110272-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jose Herrera is owed over $200,000 by his former employer, the transportation firm XPO Logistics.

In April 2012, a van driver named Bin Wu filed an administrative claim with the Labor Commissioner that accused the San Francisco-based shuttle business of \u003ca href=\"https://qhi7a3oj76cn9awl3qcqrh3o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/DLSE-v.-American-Airporter-Shuttle-Notice-of-Findings-and-Order-5.6.16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">numerous violations\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wu testified that he usually worked 13-hour days, and that the company asked him to work through meal breaks. He also wasn’t allowed to refuse assignments, but the shuttle firm classified him as an independent contractor, which would exempt them from wage regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to his testimony, Wu didn’t understand his contractor agreement because he received a copy in English, even though he speaks only Mandarin Chinese. Five other drivers subsequently filed similar claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, following an investigation, the Labor Commissioner issued citations to American Airporter and its owner, Phillip Achilles, saying the they illegally misclassified its drivers as contractors. The company appealed, a new hearing was held, and in May 2016 an administrative officer \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2016/2016-53.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affirmed the citations\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened next highlights the lengths some employers will go to fight citations, and the difficulty of recovering stolen wages through the legal system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 16, 2016, after the state Labor Commissioner affirmed American Airporter’s citations, the company \u003ca href=\"https://qhi7a3oj76cn9awl3qcqrh3o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Achilles-Writ-of-Mandate.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contested the findings\u003c/a> in San Francisco Superior Court. But for the next two years, Achilles did nothing to advance his plea. In court briefs, the Labor Commissioner asserted that he had instead worked secretly to hide his assets. FairWarning was unable to reach Achilles. An attorney who represents the drivers declined to speak on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2017, the Labor Commissioner discovered that Achilles was \u003ca href=\"https://qhi7a3oj76cn9awl3qcqrh3o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Achilles-Demand-Letter-Fraudulent-Transfer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trying to sell\u003c/a> a building he owned in downtown San Francisco. The state moved to put a lien on his commercial property, allegedly worth over $5 million, but Achilles transferred the building to a shell company, rendering himself insolvent, according to court records.

Sirolly said the hope is for a sale by early 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in less extreme cases, hurdles for underpaid workers remain high. They need to identify their employer’s bank account or real property, which can be difficult if the information on their pay stubs is missing or incorrect. Some bosses close their companies and reopen under different names. In 50% of cases where the Labor Commissioner found that an employer owed wages, the employer \u003ca href=\"https://www.labor.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HollowVictories.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sold, transferred or abandoned their business\u003c/a> before the judgment was even delivered, according to a joint study by the UCLA Labor Center and National Employment Law Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really is a structural problem within these industries where it’s really difficult to be able to collect those wages,” said Jennifer Lin, of the employment law project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 2014, the Labor Commissioner announced citations over $1.5 million against two janitorial companies in Southern California — NLP Janitorial and Coast to Coast West — for \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2014/2014-42.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">failing to pay\u003c/a> their workers minimum wage or overtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Georgina Hernandez, one of the former employees, told FairWarning that she worked 12-hour days cleaning movie theaters and restaurants without overtime or breaks. She said she and her coworkers finally went to the Labor Commissioner after her boss laid them off without paying for their last month of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The loss of a month’s pay had life-altering consequences for Hernandez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking through a translator, she explained that she lost her apartment and spent two days sleeping on the street before finding a place to stay. For a while, she said, she couldn’t afford to feed her daughter. Others were in similar straits — at one point, Hernandez shared $10 with a former co-worker who couldn’t afford basic necessities like milk or tortillas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But before paying up, both companies shut down and the owners disappeared, according to an organizer with the Maintenance Cooperation Trust Fund, an advocacy group for janitorial employees, that assisted the workers with their wage claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Labor Commissioner got a court order to stop both companies from operating in California as long as they had unpaid judgments, Sirolly said. But NLP and Coast to Coast escaped the state’s jurisdiction by moving to Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sirolly said the office reached out to its counterpart in Texas to enforce the judgments, only to learn that the Texas was struggling to collect its own wage claims against the companies. He added that it’s unlikely payments will ever be made to workers in either state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar thing happened to Southern California custodial worker Hilaria Corral. In 2014, the Labor Commissioner \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2014/2014-98.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cited her employer\u003c/a>, Spirit Airport Services, for failing to pay overtime and minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corral said she had expected it would take time to get her back wages—perhaps as long as a year. But the company left California without paying anything to Corral, according to an organizer with the Maintenance Cooperation Trust Fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[I’ve] suffered greatly,” Corral said through a translator, adding that she’s worried something like this will happen to her again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If enforcing wage claims against fly-by-night operators is difficult, it's equally hard against powerful companies with seemingly limitless resources to stall wage theft cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April 2017, a Los Angeles County truck driver named Jose Herrera \u003ca href=\"https://qhi7a3oj76cn9awl3qcqrh3o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/XPO-Cartage-DLSE-ODAs-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">won an award\u003c/a> of nearly $280,000 from his employer XPO Logistics Inc., a multinational transportation and logistics company headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, that reported \u003ca href=\"https://news.xpo.com/en-us/news/1910/xpo-logistics-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2018-results/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than $17 billion in revenue\u003c/a> last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herrera had filed a claim in March 2016 with the Labor Commissioner that accused XPO of misclassifying him as an independent contractor. Today, Herrera’s judgment remains just a piece of paper. For the past two years, XPO has fought the judgment in an appeal that is still pending in Long Beach Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>XPO did not respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Julie Dickinson, an attorney who has represented XPO workers in a different wage case, said the transportation company’s active wage and hour liability, both from private litigation and state claims, is estimated at over $185 million. With a hefty litigation budget, she said, XPO can fight these battles for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The delays are astronomical,” Dickinson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Herrera’s case, the delay is potentially life threatening. In 2018, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In quick succession, he lost his job and his health insurance. Even though he’s owed more than $200,000, according to court records, Herrera said he has to live on a small social security income that leaves him with about $200 each month after he pays for his housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really bad,” Herrera said. “Now that I’m not working and don’t have any income coming in, it’s hard because I have to watch everything I spend, everything I eat.” In September, a Long Beach Superior Court affirmed the Labor Commissioner’s 2017 decision. XPO is expected to appeal the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manuel Martinez, a driver who works for XPO, spent seven years fighting the company for unpaid wages. After winning a settlement for a confidential sum earlier this year, Martinez visited family in Guatemala, taking his first vacation in five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez said he was stunned to find that while he was away, XPO deducted hundreds of dollars for insurance, gas and administrative costs as if he had been working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[I] felt absolutely frustrated because I had made so little on that paycheck,” Martinez said through a translator. Martinez added that he had to dip into his settlement money to pay for maintenance to his truck, and he fears that he’ll ultimately have to file for bankruptcy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last year, the Bureau of Field Enforcement recovered nearly $10.5 million in unpaid wage judgments — \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/BOFE_LegReport2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than double\u003c/a> the previous year. Tia Koonse, a staff attorney with the UCLA Labor Center, said Julie Su, who served as Labor Commissioner office from 2011 through 2018, improved enforcement by focusing on investigations of California’s underground economy and strengthening partnerships with community groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su was tapped earlier this year by Gov. Gavin Newsom to head the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency. The Labor Commissioner’s Office refused FairWarning's request to interview Lilia Garcia-Brower, Su’s replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent law, SB 588, gives the agency new powers to collect post-judgment money. According to Sirolly, the agency has also started to sue companies to prevent fraudulent transfers and bankruptcies designed to hide their assets. In Los Angeles, a pilot program to help day laborers file a measure known as a mechanics' lien boasts a nearly 100% collection rate, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the parade of news releases from the Labor Commissioner’s Office continues to announce its citations and the big dollars attached: $631,000 against a Daly City residential care facility in July; over$2.36 million against a Culver City car wash in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sirolly said the office has done a lot of work to hold these sorts of employers accountable. But this isn’t much comfort to a worker like Jose Herrera, who says he sometimes wakes up in the night wondering if he’ll ever see a nickel of his wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you get to a point where nothing is going your way and you have no money to pay [bills], that’s when it gets to you and you feel like ‘what am I going to do now?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fairwarning.org/2019/10/clawing-back-stolen-wages/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This story\u003c/a> was produced by \u003ca href=\"http://www.fairwarning.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FairWarning\u003c/a>, a nonprofit news organization based in Southern California that focuses on public health, consumer, workplace and environmental issues.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now, they may have a more interested audience: The race has changed significantly in recent days, and activists across the country are taking note.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was supposed to be the first time in a century that the race was open in San Francisco, with no incumbent in office. It was upended last week when District Attorney George Gascón announced he would step down on Oct. 18, nearly three months early, and weeks before Election Day. Gascón said last year that he wouldn't run for reelection but had been expected to serve out his term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote]The four district attorney hopefuls agree on many issues. Their differences lie in their experience and approach to the job.[/pullquote]On Friday, Mayor London Breed appointed the candidate she endorsed as interim DA, former prosecutor Suzy Loftus, to replace Gascón. The surprise announcement sparked a backlash from other candidates and their supporters. Protesters decrying election interference and Loftus’ time on the city's Police Commission stormed Portsmouth Square, where the announcement was going to be made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, at a Chinese restaurant where the event was hastily moved, Breed defended her choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have confidence in Suzy Loftus and so that's why I made the decision,” she said. “If there was anyone else that I thought was better than what she would bring to the table then they would be the person that I would identify today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11778714\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11778714\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/San-Francisco-District-Attorney_candidate_Nancy-Tung-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco District Attorney candidate Nancy Tung in downtown San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/San-Francisco-District-Attorney_candidate_Nancy-Tung-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/San-Francisco-District-Attorney_candidate_Nancy-Tung-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/San-Francisco-District-Attorney_candidate_Nancy-Tung-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/San-Francisco-District-Attorney_candidate_Nancy-Tung-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/San-Francisco-District-Attorney_candidate_Nancy-Tung-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco District Attorney candidate Nancy Tung in downtown San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Sheraz Sadiq/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The move further cements Loftus as the establishment candidate.
