Read Orrick's \u003ca href=\"#order\">order below\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nondisclosure agreements that Center for Medical Progress agents signed while presenting themselves as legitimate conference participants weighed heavily in his decision, Orrick said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As far as I'm concerned, anything that happened during the time of the NAF annual meetings, whether it's in the hallway, in a restaurant, in the meeting hall itself, if it's with NAF participants the defendants wouldn't have had access to but for the agreements signed under false pretenses, I think all of that would be included\" in the restraining order, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Chavez-Ochoa, the lawyer representing the Center for Medical Progress, said after the hearing that the group would abide by the order.

On Independence Day, Jamar Samuel, 26, was gunned down on the same sidewalk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men appear to be as different from each other as Pier 14 is from Potrero Terrace, but their close proximity in death to one of the higher-profile San Francisco homicides in recent memory seems to too perfectly illustrate two very different cities -- one in which lives are valued, witnesses cooperate and murders are solved, and another with a different set of rules and expectations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/217762575\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">P\u003c/span>otrero Terrace and Annex were \u003ca href=\"http://sf.curbed.com/archives/2012/11/12/sfs_earliest_public_housing_projects.php\">built during World War II\u003c/a>, a few years after the federal government allocated funding to San Francisco and other cities for the effort. Connecticut Street curves through the heart of the main section of the developments, and cinderblock rowhouses terrace the steep grade on either side. The location offers a sparkling view of San Francisco Bay and is breezy and cool even on days that are downright hot elsewhere in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based solely on location, the area could be the tourist draw that San Francisco's waterfront offers. But it isn't. Nearby neighborhoods have all the amenities and sport the affluence typically associated with San Francisco, but Potrero Terrace is isolated by its curved streets, a steep ridge to the west and Interstate 280 to the east.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's an industrial pocket to the south, and the tennis courts of the Potrero Hill Recreation Center to the north. Green grass blankets a baseball field there, where young families were gathered on a recent afternoon. But despite nudging right up to the housing development, the rec center doesn't really seem to belong to Potrero Terrace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A redevelopment \u003ca href=\"http://hope-sf.org/potrero.php\">plan\u003c/a> for the projects describes the area this way:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of San Francisco’s most sought-after locations to live, Potrero Hill features spectacular views, parks, restaurants, shops, and proximity to downtown and freeways.

He'd been a happy child, the fourth of Barry and Beatrice Samuel's five children. Friends and family say he was always ready with a joke and couldn't help but wear a wide smile -- his mother called him \"smiley face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His grandmother, who called him \"Pooh Bear,\" often brought him to church at St. John's Missionary Baptist on Third Street. Whereas Potrero Terrace seems worlds apart from nearby neighborhoods on Potrero Hill, many people living in the Terrace have close connections to the historically African-American Bayview, about a mile to the southeast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10628437\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/Jamar2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10628437\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/Jamar2.jpg\" alt=\"Jamar Samuel.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/Jamar2.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/Jamar2-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jamar Samuel. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of his mother.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Friends and family say Samuel changed when his grandmother died in 2006, when he was 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He became a loner,\" his mother says. \"He was almost 10 years a loner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He never really had a job and kept mostly to himself, but he didn't completely lose his jokester streak, friends and family say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people on the Terrace knew him as \"Mar Mar.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was a good guy,\" says Billy Ray, a Terrace resident who said he often ran into Samuel on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can’t really say nothing bad about him, but sometimes he could be annoying,\" Ray says. \"But everybody that know Mar Mar would say the same thing. And he had one of those odd laughs. You knew he was coming -- 'Here come Mar Mar' -- cuz you'd hear that laugh a mile away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I talked to seven people who say they knew Samuel. They say he had dabbled in \"the game,\" or drug sales, for a while, but he wasn't scary. His mother said he'd been dating a girl for a few years, but the relationship ended a couple months before he died. As far as anyone knew, he'd quit \"the game.\" One sign of that: For the first time since his grandmother brought him to church in the late '90s, Samuel came back to St. John's Missionary Baptist in early June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One morning I got to the church, he was out there, he welcomed my kids and I,\" the Rev. Mervin Redmond says. \"It was kind of amazing because he just got in the church, and now he’s doing something, and he talked to several of the men about a change he wanted to make.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Samuel also talked to Redmond, who got the impression \"he wanted to change from doing certain things that he had been doing that he knew were negative and destructive, and I took it to mean maybe drugs or the company he was keeping.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Samuel and Redmond had a long phone conversation on Friday, July 3, about Samuel's re-baptism scheduled for Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was good to talk to him,\" Redmond says. \"When I walked away from that conversation, I was like, 'Wow I think he’s serious,' and after that Friday, he said, 'I’ll see you Sunday.' Little did we know ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redmond's voice trails off, as it did several times when we talked in a meeting room in his church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I kind of value moments like that more now,\" he says, \"because that’s the first time that’s happened -- not the first time I’ve seen someone and they passed soon after, but in that fashion.

He was sentenced to 18 months in prison on federal gun charges for the crime in 2009.

Toney Chaplin rose through the department working in some of the city's more violent neighborhoods, including public housing. He was recently promoted from heading the department's homicide division to overseeing all investigations. He's aware of the Johnson case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s a tough case,\" he said. \"It’s a convoluted case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wouldn't go into details of any open cases, but was willing to discuss in general the kind of cases he's worked. Other police sources said on background that Chaplin could have taken cushier assignments. He's earned some admiration and credibility in and out of the department for turning them down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You’re dealing with a lot of folks, they’re almost held prisoner in those particular neighborhoods,\" Chaplin said, \"and so when they witness something, to come forward, they feel like, 'I’m painting a target on myself, with no means of escape or getting out of here.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the department offers witness relocation, but \"it's tough to ask somebody to go somewhere when they've never been anywhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So investigators try to \"work around\" the unwillingness to cooperate, Chaplin said, seeking evidence from surveillance cameras and hoping for a witness to surface. Cameras were recently installed in Potrero Terrace, but many have been shot with paintballs or otherwise disabled, and they don't cover a lot of the angles created by the jutting corners of the rowhouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaplin confirmed a statistic recently cited by Police Chief Greg Suhr that African-American men have been the victims of about half of the city's 30 or so homicides this year -- although black males make up only about 3 percent of the city's population.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I haven’t heard anything about these two young boys.

It’s literally just a matter of waiting for an opportunity to do it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaplin described a desensitization of society, the news media, neighborhoods and police to sustained violence.

But even in places with so-called model juvenile halls, counties often struggle to meet the minimum standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County Juvenile Hall in San Leandro is a detention center that's generally well regarded. But it faces some major challenges. Built in 2007, it's part of a $176 million juvenile justice complex with a detention facility, courtrooms and law offices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is essentially where all of the people who do the heavy lifting come in,\" says Christian Muñoz, the superintendent. But Muñoz has trouble keeping the facility staffed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We survive on overtime.

Still, overtime for guards is more than double what it was five years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of reasons for the staffing shortage: guards retiring, moving over to the adult system or filing for workers' comp. Across the state, hiring in the juvenile system is a challenge. Background checks often eliminate candidates because of past criminal activity or even for having stains on their credit history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's difficult to run a lemonade stand like that,\" Muñoz says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Things Happen'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unit 1 is two stories high with 15 cells on each level. Three guards shuffle kids back and forth from their cells to the showers, and they're doing room checks looking for contraband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a commotion. A teen named Rudy is yelling. He just returned to his cell to discover the cookies and snacks he had stashed away were confiscated. As punishment for having food in his cell, he got docked 15 minutes of rec time, and he's upset, refusing to go back inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonnie Lacy is one of the guards working Unit 1. She walks toward Rudy, making eye contact, and calmly requests that he do the \"15 minutes for me.\" With that, Rudy turns around, steps into his cell and closes the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The superintendent and several guards say they prefer to talk through conflicts like this with kids. But incidents can escalate quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to county records obtained by Youth Radio, guards at the San Leandro facility used pepper spray 147 times last year. With guards working an average of 30 hours of overtime per week, there has been an increase in the use of force on juvenile inmates — like guards performing takedowns or handcuffing inmates. The department calls these acts \"use of physical and mechanical restraints,\" and that number nearly tripled in the past five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Ray Colon has been working for Alameda County Juvenile Hall for 25 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got a couple of staff watching a number of kids, and things happen,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During waking hours, the state mandates a minimum of one guard for every 10 kids in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they're short on guards, supervisors sometimes run what they call split recs — basically dividing recreation, exercise and dinner time in half. Fifteen kids come out while the other 15 remain in their cells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The kids don't always get the services they should get because we're running short,\" Colon says. \"They spend more time in their room, which is unfortunate, but it's the reality of not having the staff to complete the duties we need to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malik, 18, spent more than four months incarcerated in Alameda County Juvenile Hall. He says that when young people are locked in their cells, tensions flare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Man, more fights, more attitudes. Kicking and banging — it's just angry. They want to be out of their rooms. That's why I used to kick and bang,\" he says. \"If I know that I have a guaranteed hour of PE each day no matter what, I'm going to be angry if I can't get that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While conditions for both the inmates and the guards have gone down, the costs have not. On average, there are about 150 kids at Alameda County Juvenile Hall at any given time, and it costs $48 million a year to detain them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by Youth Radio as part of its juvenile justice series, \"Unlocked.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 Youth Radio\u003c/div>\n\n",

But it faces some major challenges. Built in 2007, it's part of a $176 million juvenile justice complex with a detention facility, courtrooms and law offices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is essentially where all of the people who do the heavy lifting come in,\" says Christian Muñoz, the superintendent.

Still, overtime for guards is more than double what it was five years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of reasons for the staffing shortage: guards retiring, moving over to the adult system or filing for workers' comp. Across the state, hiring in the juvenile system is a challenge. Background checks often eliminate candidates because of past criminal activity or even for having stains on their credit history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's difficult to run a lemonade stand like that,\" Muñoz says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Things Happen'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unit 1 is two stories high with 15 cells on each level. Three guards shuffle kids back and forth from their cells to the showers, and they're doing room checks looking for contraband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a commotion. A teen named Rudy is yelling. He just returned to his cell to discover the cookies and snacks he had stashed away were confiscated. As punishment for having food in his cell, he got docked 15 minutes of rec time, and he's upset, refusing to go back inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonnie Lacy is one of the guards working Unit 1. She walks toward Rudy, making eye contact, and calmly requests that he do the \"15 minutes for me.\" With that, Rudy turns around, steps into his cell and closes the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The superintendent and several guards say they prefer to talk through conflicts like this with kids. But incidents can escalate quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to county records obtained by Youth Radio, guards at the San Leandro facility used pepper spray 147 times last year. With guards working an average of 30 hours of overtime per week, there has been an increase in the use of force on juvenile inmates — like guards performing takedowns or handcuffing inmates. The department calls these acts \"use of physical and mechanical restraints,\" and that number nearly tripled in the past five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Ray Colon has been working for Alameda County Juvenile Hall for 25 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got a couple of staff watching a number of kids, and things happen,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During waking hours, the state mandates a minimum of one guard for every 10 kids in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they're short on guards, supervisors sometimes run what they call split recs — basically dividing recreation, exercise and dinner time in half. Fifteen kids come out while the other 15 remain in their cells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The kids don't always get the services they should get because we're running short,\" Colon says. \"They spend more time in their room, which is unfortunate, but it's the reality of not having the staff to complete the duties we need to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malik, 18, spent more than four months incarcerated in Alameda County Juvenile Hall. He says that when young people are locked in their cells, tensions flare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Man, more fights, more attitudes. Kicking and banging — it's just angry. They want to be out of their rooms. That's why I used to kick and bang,\" he says. \"If I know that I have a guaranteed hour of PE each day no matter what, I'm going to be angry if I can't get that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While conditions for both the inmates and the guards have gone down, the costs have not. On average, there are about 150 kids at Alameda County Juvenile Hall at any given time, and it costs $48 million a year to detain them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by Youth Radio as part of its juvenile justice series, \"Unlocked.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 Youth Radio\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"headTitle": "News Fix | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>A controversial approach to gun-violence prevention in the city of Richmond appears to be working, suggests a study released Monday by the National Council on Crime & Delinquency. One yardstick used to determine the program’s success: Nearly all of its participants are still alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most social service programs do not count outcomes such as mortality or injury,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.nccdglobal.org/sites/default/files/publication_pdf/ons-report-highlights.pdf\">the NCCD report acknowledges\u003c/a>, but “using these measures is paramount for an effort designed to reduce lethal violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Launched as a public-private partnership in 2007 after years of unsuccessful attempts to curb violent crime, Richmond’s Office of Neighborhood Safety specifically targets youth identified by police data and other sources as the most likely to be involved in gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ONS has received praise and criticism for its intensive 18-month training and mentoring program, known as the Operation Peacemaker Fellowship. As part of that effort, participants -- predominantly African-American youth ages 14 to 25 -- become eligible to earn $1,000-per-month stipends after six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our goal is to get them to stop shooting,” ONS Director DeVone Boggan explained in a Tuesday\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201507280900\"> interview on KQED’s \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. But he said critics who latch onto \u003ca href=\"http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/06/richmond-california-murder-rate-gun-death\">the notion that ONS is paying people not to kill\u003c/a> are missing the bigger picture. “We’re not simply calling the city’s most lethal, active firearm offenders … and saying, 'Please stop shooting, and if you do we’ll give you $1,000 a month.' That’s not what we’re doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Boggan described the fellowship as a way to engage disenfranchised youth who are notoriously difficult to reach, with the ambitious goal of completely altering the courses of their lives to halt their involvement in street violence. Participating fellows must check in daily with ONS staff, create a “life map” to determine their personal education and career goals, and fully commit to giving up the use of firearms in order to graduate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're even given opportunities to travel, in some cases internationally. Going through airport security can be a relief to ONS fellows, Boggan pointed out, since they can rest easy knowing nobody aboard the flight is armed, unlike in their everyday realities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our fellowship focuses only on those individuals that are considered to be the most lethal active firearm offenders … and those who may be coming home from some incarceration, that we feel may provide some threat to the community,” Boggan explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ONS operates independently from law enforcement, and often relies on information provided by street outreach workers, who can be more knowledgeable than police, to supplement police data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What separates ONS from other efforts to address gun violence “is the daily, high dosage of authentic relationships,” Boggan said on \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em>. “We are hunting these young men down -- forgive the terminology of hunting, but it’s their terminology -- we are hunting them down every day, typically like they hunt their enemies down, and we are giving them a great deal of positive attention, affording them a healthier diet, and more healthy information, to negotiate conflict.

One yardstick used to determine the program’s success: Nearly all of its participants are still alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most social service programs do not count outcomes such as mortality or injury,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.nccdglobal.org/sites/default/files/publication_pdf/ons-report-highlights.pdf\">the NCCD report acknowledges\u003c/a>, but “using these measures is paramount for an effort designed to reduce lethal violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Launched as a public-private partnership in 2007 after years of unsuccessful attempts to curb violent crime, Richmond’s Office of Neighborhood Safety specifically targets youth identified by police data and other sources as the most likely to be involved in gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ONS has received praise and criticism for its intensive 18-month training and mentoring program, known as the Operation Peacemaker Fellowship. As part of that effort, participants -- predominantly African-American youth ages 14 to 25 -- become eligible to earn $1,000-per-month stipends after six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our goal is to get them to stop shooting,” ONS Director DeVone Boggan explained in a Tuesday\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201507280900\"> interview on KQED’s \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. But he said critics who latch onto \u003ca href=\"http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/06/richmond-california-murder-rate-gun-death\">the notion that ONS is paying people not to kill\u003c/a> are missing the bigger picture. “We’re not simply calling the city’s most lethal, active firearm offenders … and saying, 'Please stop shooting, and if you do we’ll give you $1,000 a month.' That’s not what we’re doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Participating fellows must check in daily with ONS staff, create a “life map” to determine their personal education and career goals, and fully commit to giving up the use of firearms in order to graduate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They're even given opportunities to travel, in some cases internationally. Going through airport security can be a relief to ONS fellows, Boggan pointed out, since they can rest easy knowing nobody aboard the flight is armed, unlike in their everyday realities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our fellowship focuses only on those individuals that are considered to be the most lethal active firearm offenders … and those who may be coming home from some incarceration, that we feel may provide some threat to the community,” Boggan explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ONS operates independently from law enforcement, and often relies on information provided by street outreach workers, who can be more knowledgeable than police, to supplement police data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What separates ONS from other efforts to address gun violence “is the daily, high dosage of authentic relationships,” Boggan said on \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em>. “We are hunting these young men down -- forgive the terminology of hunting, but it’s their terminology -- we are hunting them down every day, typically like they hunt their enemies down, and we are giving them a great deal of positive attention, affording them a healthier diet, and more healthy information, to negotiate conflict.

Los defensores de trabajadores dicen que el robo de salarios es un problema enorme y que no se reporta con frecuencia. Esto es parte de lo que hizo tan excepcional el caso de Yank Sing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En conjunto, los gerentes y los empleados anunciaron en noviembre que unos 100 [[ó 280 actuales y antiguos? TK]] trabajadores de Yank Sing habían ganado una compensación de $4 millones, la mayor compensación de su clase. Desde la perspectiva de los defensores de trabajadores, el caso terminó bien. Pero llegar a esta solución no fue nada fácil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ZMZLDjMGjL9OSzbM07tcLXOC6t6SEAUP\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Detrás del telón, un núcleo fundamental de trabajadores inmigrantes de sueldo reducido y poco inglés, libró una campaña tenaz que duró casi año y medio. Corrían peligro que su activismo llevara a que los despidieran, y de a pocos organizaron a sus colegas, quienes a su vez tenían muchas razones por las que no participar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Li Xiu Zhen era una de los líderes de la campaña de trabajadores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Li es un inmigrante de 61 años, del sur de la China, cuna del dim sum. Sus días laborales los pasa friendo bolitas de ajonjolí, envolviendo los won ton y pelando camarones. Ha estado preparando dim sum en el Yank Sing durante seis años, y gana un poco más que el salario mínimo. Durante la mayor parte de estos años, típicamente trabajaba de 11 a 12 horas al día. Y hasta hace poco, su sueldo indicaba que había trabajado sólo ocho horas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ésta es una de las infracciones laborales que la Comisión Laboral de California encontró en su investigación de Yank Sing. Abogado David Balter explica que la Comisión encontró que los gerentes se quedaban con las propinas y que se estaba obligando a las personas a trabajar horas extra sin cobrar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10612959\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10612959\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingWorker-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Li Xiu Zhen, cocinera de frituras en el Yank Sing, es una de los líderes organizadores de una campaña en defensa de los derechos laborales en el restaurante.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingWorker.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingWorker-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Li Xiu Zhen, cocinera de frituras en el Yank Sing, es una de los líderes organizadores de una campaña en defensa de los derechos laborales en el restaurante. \u003ccite>(Vinnee Tong/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Hay que pagar a las personas”, dijo Balter. “Eso es bastante obvio. Hay que pagar a las personas por las horas que trabajan”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los defensores de la fuerza laboral comentan que cunde el robo salarial y que ocurre en muchas industrias. Haeyoung Yoon, con el National Employment Law Project, indica que tres de cada cuatro trabajadores de sueldo reducido en los EE.UU. no recibieron el pago correcto para las horas extra en el 2008. Dice que el problema es epidémico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nosotros decimos que es una de las tendencias definitivas del mercado laboral del siglo XXI”, explica Yoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Los defensores dicen que los trabajadores que se encuentran en esta situación con frecuencia se mantienen con la cabeza gacha.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>No todos creen que el robo salarial es un gran problema. Janna Haynes es la vocera de la California Restaurant Association, la cual representa a propietarios de restaurantes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No me parece que se dé ampliamente el robo de salarios”, dijo Haynes. “Me parece que hay algunos incidentes aislados. No me gusta. A la California Restaurant Association no le gusta, y no toleramos ese comportamiento de los empleadores”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No obstante, en San Francisco, la mitad de los trabajadores de restaurantes en Chinatown dijo que se le paga menos del salario mínimo en el 2010, según una encuesta realizada por la Chinese Progressive Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los defensores dicen que los trabajadores que se encuentran en esta situación con frecuencia se mantienen con la cabeza gacha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Al principio, a Li le preocupaba que le despidieran si se quejaba. Pero sintió la frustración de sus colegas. Ella no habla nada de inglés, pero decidió que era hora de levantar la voz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En un empleo anterior, Li había ganado salario atrasado del restaurante. Pensó que también se podría lograr en Yank Sing. Sus colegas estaban nerviosos y Li se convirtió en una de los organizadores para darles la confianza necesaria para unirse a la campaña.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10612965\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10612965\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingMeat-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Cocineros de preparación trabajan en la cocina del Yank Sing.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingMeat.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingMeat-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cocineros de preparación trabajan en la cocina del Yank Sing. \u003ccite>(Vinnee Tong/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Después del trabajo, íbamos a sus casas, para hablar abiertamente, cara a cara”, cuenta Li. “A veces nos quedábamos hasta las 11 o la medianoche”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iban generando impulso con las reuniones de noche.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y, notablemente, la gerencia de Yank Sing estaba dispuesta a escuchar cuando se presentaron los trabajadores con su queja. El restaurante es un negocio familiar cuyos propietarios son Henry y Judy Chan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yo creo que a nuestros propietarios les chocó sinceramente cuando supieron y fueron concientes de lo que ocurría”, dijo el director de operaciones del restaurante, Jonathan Glick. Glick se unió al equipo gerencial una vez que los propietarios aprendieron del problema. Explica que los propietarios han reemplazado a tres cuartas partes del equipo gerencial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Después de una serie de negociaciones durante año y medio, los Chan concordaron en pagar cuatro años de sueldo atrasado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los trabajadores ahora tienen refrigerios rutinarios, y utilizan hojas para llevar la cuenta de las horas que trabajan. Y tienen seguro médico, todo pagado. Li dice que ahora sí puede salir del trabajo con tiempo para disfrutar de cosas sencillas, como hacer la compra para cocinar la comida de la tarde para su familia.

TK]] trabajadores de Yank Sing habían ganado una compensación de $4 millones, la mayor compensación de su clase. Desde la perspectiva de los defensores de trabajadores, el caso terminó bien. Pero llegar a esta solución no fue nada fácil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Detrás del telón, un núcleo fundamental de trabajadores inmigrantes de sueldo reducido y poco inglés, libró una campaña tenaz que duró casi año y medio. Corrían peligro que su activismo llevara a que los despidieran, y de a pocos organizaron a sus colegas, quienes a su vez tenían muchas razones por las que no participar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Li Xiu Zhen era una de los líderes de la campaña de trabajadores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Li es un inmigrante de 61 años, del sur de la China, cuna del dim sum. Sus días laborales los pasa friendo bolitas de ajonjolí, envolviendo los won ton y pelando camarones. Ha estado preparando dim sum en el Yank Sing durante seis años, y gana un poco más que el salario mínimo. Durante la mayor parte de estos años, típicamente trabajaba de 11 a 12 horas al día. Y hasta hace poco, su sueldo indicaba que había trabajado sólo ocho horas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ésta es una de las infracciones laborales que la Comisión Laboral de California encontró en su investigación de Yank Sing. Abogado David Balter explica que la Comisión encontró que los gerentes se quedaban con las propinas y que se estaba obligando a las personas a trabajar horas extra sin cobrar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10612959\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10612959\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingWorker-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Li Xiu Zhen, cocinera de frituras en el Yank Sing, es una de los líderes organizadores de una campaña en defensa de los derechos laborales en el restaurante.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingWorker.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingWorker-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Li Xiu Zhen, cocinera de frituras en el Yank Sing, es una de los líderes organizadores de una campaña en defensa de los derechos laborales en el restaurante. \u003ccite>(Vinnee Tong/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Hay que pagar a las personas”, dijo Balter. “Eso es bastante obvio. Hay que pagar a las personas por las horas que trabajan”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los defensores de la fuerza laboral comentan que cunde el robo salarial y que ocurre en muchas industrias. Haeyoung Yoon, con el National Employment Law Project, indica que tres de cada cuatro trabajadores de sueldo reducido en los EE.UU. no recibieron el pago correcto para las horas extra en el 2008. Dice que el problema es epidémico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nosotros decimos que es una de las tendencias definitivas del mercado laboral del siglo XXI”, explica Yoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Los defensores dicen que los trabajadores que se encuentran en esta situación con frecuencia se mantienen con la cabeza gacha.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>No todos creen que el robo salarial es un gran problema. Janna Haynes es la vocera de la California Restaurant Association, la cual representa a propietarios de restaurantes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No me parece que se dé ampliamente el robo de salarios”, dijo Haynes. “Me parece que hay algunos incidentes aislados. No me gusta. A la California Restaurant Association no le gusta, y no toleramos ese comportamiento de los empleadores”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No obstante, en San Francisco, la mitad de los trabajadores de restaurantes en Chinatown dijo que se le paga menos del salario mínimo en el 2010, según una encuesta realizada por la Chinese Progressive Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los defensores dicen que los trabajadores que se encuentran en esta situación con frecuencia se mantienen con la cabeza gacha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Al principio, a Li le preocupaba que le despidieran si se quejaba. Pero sintió la frustración de sus colegas. Ella no habla nada de inglés, pero decidió que era hora de levantar la voz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En un empleo anterior, Li había ganado salario atrasado del restaurante. Pensó que también se podría lograr en Yank Sing. Sus colegas estaban nerviosos y Li se convirtió en una de los organizadores para darles la confianza necesaria para unirse a la campaña.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10612965\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10612965\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingMeat-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Cocineros de preparación trabajan en la cocina del Yank Sing.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingMeat.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/YankSingMeat-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cocineros de preparación trabajan en la cocina del Yank Sing. \u003ccite>(Vinnee Tong/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Después del trabajo, íbamos a sus casas, para hablar abiertamente, cara a cara”, cuenta Li. “A veces nos quedábamos hasta las 11 o la medianoche”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iban generando impulso con las reuniones de noche.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y, notablemente, la gerencia de Yank Sing estaba dispuesta a escuchar cuando se presentaron los trabajadores con su queja. El restaurante es un negocio familiar cuyos propietarios son Henry y Judy Chan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yo creo que a nuestros propietarios les chocó sinceramente cuando supieron y fueron concientes de lo que ocurría”, dijo el director de operaciones del restaurante, Jonathan Glick. Glick se unió al equipo gerencial una vez que los propietarios aprendieron del problema. Explica que los propietarios han reemplazado a tres cuartas partes del equipo gerencial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Después de una serie de negociaciones durante año y medio, los Chan concordaron en pagar cuatro años de sueldo atrasado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los trabajadores ahora tienen refrigerios rutinarios, y utilizan hojas para llevar la cuenta de las horas que trabajan. Y tienen seguro médico, todo pagado. Li dice que ahora sí puede salir del trabajo con tiempo para disfrutar de cosas sencillas, como hacer la compra para cocinar la comida de la tarde para su familia. Dice que la diferencia es tremenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Claro que las cosas están mucho más relajadas, mucho más alegres, ahora”, comentó Li.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yoon, del National Employment Law Project, dice que la victoria en el restaurante Yank Sing es parte de un movimiento que ha estado creciendo a nivel nacional durante los últimos dos años.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Los trabajadores de la comida al paso, de comercios minoristas, de restaurantes, trabajadores domésticos se están presentando para exigir mejor salario, mejores condiciones laborales”, explica Yoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10612968\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10612968\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/Protest-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Trabajadores y defensores laborales marchan por salarios más altos y mejores condiciones laborales en la estación de BART de la 16 con Mission, el 21 de enero del 2015.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/Protest.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/Protest-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trabajadores y defensores laborales marchan por salarios más altos y mejores condiciones laborales en la estación de BART de la 16 con Mission, el 21 de enero del 2015. \u003ccite>(Vinnee Tong/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Shaw San Liu trabaja en la Chinese Progressive Association, con sede en San Francisco.
