Those inspections would have supplemented the checks currently carried out by the California Highway Patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same committee also passed AB 1574 from David Chiu, another Democratic assemblyman from San Francisco, which would help the California Public Utilities Commission identify buses to be inspected. A third bill related to tour bus safety, SB 812, authored by state Sen.

But given the complexity of the new “gig economy” and the changing nature of work, Bloch wonders if Democrats will start wobbling on some issues labor cares about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we have Democrats who are with us when it comes to bus drivers, food service workers and security officers,\" Bloch said. \"And when we go talk to them about supposed independent contractors driving for Uber, it’s a different story.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To some labor unions, Uber -- the transportation upstart that’s crushing the taxi industry -- is corporate enemy number one. They, and other app-based services like TaskRabbit, say they don’t have employees -- just contractors who set their own hours and get \"gigs\" via customers using apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Teamsters lobbyist Barry Broad doesn’t buy the notion that these aren't employees. He goes so far as to compare them to African-American sharecroppers after the Civil War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They’re working in a field,\" says Broad, sitting in his modest office near the state Capitol. \"The field is an urban area where people need rides. And Uber allows as many people into the field to pick crops, and Uber says this is how much you're getting per pound. They may not even be getting the minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Frankly, their system is from our perspective perfectly designed for exploitation of low-wage workers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This friction between labor and tech could create conflict for legislators, especially Democrats. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom says organized labor needs to be nimble. Sitting in his office in a SoMa San Francisco startup incubator, Newsom says \"the tech genie is out of the bottle and you can't stuff it back in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Something big is happening and we’re going through this radical shift in real time, yet we have work rules and labor rules that have been inflexible that were designed for a world that no longer exists,\" Newsom said. The former San Francisco mayor has close ties to the tech industry, but is also considered a strong ally of labor. And he thinks unions will be making a mistake if they resist adapting to the changing workplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the attitude is, 'No, we’re just going to deny it and everything is going to be fine,' labor and the middle class are in trouble. I'm rooting for labor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Assemblywoman \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a80/\" target=\"_blank\">Lorena Gonzalez \u003c/a>from San Diego understands that the old workplace rules don’t always apply anymore.

But given the complexity of the new “gig economy” and the changing nature of work, Bloch wonders if Democrats will start wobbling on some issues labor cares about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we have Democrats who are with us when it comes to bus drivers, food service workers and security officers,\" Bloch said. \"And when we go talk to them about supposed independent contractors driving for Uber, it’s a different story.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To some labor unions, Uber -- the transportation upstart that’s crushing the taxi industry -- is corporate enemy number one. They, and other app-based services like TaskRabbit, say they don’t have employees -- just contractors who set their own hours and get \"gigs\" via customers using apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Teamsters lobbyist Barry Broad doesn’t buy the notion that these aren't employees. He goes so far as to compare them to African-American sharecroppers after the Civil War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They’re working in a field,\" says Broad, sitting in his modest office near the state Capitol. \"The field is an urban area where people need rides. And Uber allows as many people into the field to pick crops, and Uber says this is how much you're getting per pound. They may not even be getting the minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Frankly, their system is from our perspective perfectly designed for exploitation of low-wage workers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This friction between labor and tech could create conflict for legislators, especially Democrats. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom says organized labor needs to be nimble. Sitting in his office in a SoMa San Francisco startup incubator, Newsom says \"the tech genie is out of the bottle and you can't stuff it back in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Something big is happening and we’re going through this radical shift in real time, yet we have work rules and labor rules that have been inflexible that were designed for a world that no longer exists,\" Newsom said. The former San Francisco mayor has close ties to the tech industry, but is also considered a strong ally of labor. And he thinks unions will be making a mistake if they resist adapting to the changing workplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the attitude is, 'No, we’re just going to deny it and everything is going to be fine,' labor and the middle class are in trouble. I'm rooting for labor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Assemblywoman \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a80/\" target=\"_blank\">Lorena Gonzalez \u003c/a>from San Diego understands that the old workplace rules don’t always apply anymore.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Daily Cal, which noted Makhzoomi described himself as a loyal Southwest premier rewards member, boarded his flight to Oakland and called his uncle in Baghdad to tell him about the World Affairs Council event. Makhzoomi \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/17/us/student-speaking-arabic-removed-southwest-airlines-plane.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=second-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=1\" target=\"_blank\">told The New York Times\u003c/a> that during the call, he mentioned asking the U.N. chief a question about the Islamic State. When he signed off with his uncle, Makhzoomi said in both accounts, he said, \"Inshallah\" -- Arabic for \"God willing.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what Makhzoomi told the Daily Cal happened next: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When Makhzoomi hung up, he noticed a female passenger looking at him.

Makhzoomi was escorted onto the passenger boarding bridge where he was met by three security officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He learned that the passenger thought she had heard the word “shahid,” meaning martyr, which is associated with jihad and has been associated with terrorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conversation between Makhzoomi and the employee became complicated and political. The employee informed Makhzoomi that he was not allowed to return to the plane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Makhzoomi heard one of the security officers radio for the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that moment I couldn’t feel anything,” he said. “I was so afraid. I was so scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi was removed from the jet bridge and taken back to the gate where more security officers, police dogs and Southwest staff awaited him. Dozens of onlookers watched as he waited for the FBI to arrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, security officers searched his bag again and continued to ask him if he had any other luggage he was keeping secret. Makhzoomi alleged that one police officer publicly searched his genital area and asked him if he was hiding a knife anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is when I couldn’t handle it and my eyes began to water,” he said. “The way they searched me and the dogs, the officers, people were watching me and the humiliation made me so afraid because it brought all of these memories back to me. I escaped Iraq because of the war, because of Saddam and what he did to my father. When I got home, I just slept for a few days.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In offering Southwest's account of the incident, airline spokewoman Brandy King noted the media accounts in which Makhzoomi \"confirms he openly discussed a terrorist organization on the phone, minutes before his flight was scheduled to depart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Original post, via The Associated Press\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A UC Berkeley student who came to the United States as an Iraqi refugee says he was unfairly removed from a flight at Los Angeles International Airport earlier this month because a fellow passenger was alarmed by an innocent conversation he was having in Arabic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Southwest Airlines said in a statement Sunday that the passenger, Khairuldeen Makhzoomi, was taken off the April 9 flight from Los Angeles to Oakland for questioning and the plane took off while that was happening. But the airline said it has not received a direct complaint from Makhzoomi and that he has not responded to several attempts to reach him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi, a 26-year-old senior at Berkeley, said that he was calling his uncle before the flight to tell him about a speech he had attended by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was very excited about the event, so I called my uncle to tell him about it,\" Makhzoomi \u003ca href=\"http://nyti.ms/1VcaVoO\" target=\"_blank\">told the New York Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi told his uncle about asking a question on the Islamic State group at the event.

The airline's statement said it regrets any less-than-positive experience by a customer, but its primary focus is on safety and its crew members followed protocol. It added that the company \"neither condones nor tolerates discrimination of any kind.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi said he was able to get book a flight on another airline and got home eight hours later than planned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My family and I have been through a lot, and this is just another one of the experiences I have had,\" he told the Times. \"Human dignity is the most valuable thing in the world, not money.

The airline's statement said it regrets any less-than-positive experience by a customer, but its primary focus is on safety and its crew members followed protocol. It added that the company \"neither condones nor tolerates discrimination of any kind.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makhzoomi said he was able to get book a flight on another airline and got home eight hours later than planned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My family and I have been through a lot, and this is just another one of the experiences I have had,\" he told the Times. \"Human dignity is the most valuable thing in the world, not money.

"content": "\u003cp>An East Bay lawmaker who has been a leading critic of BART and its unions says a tentative contract is a good start toward restoring public confidence in the agency — but he wants to see more before he drops his opposition to a BART bond measure expected to appear on the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed labor deal announced by BART General Manager Grace Crunican and union leaders on Monday would give workers a 10.8 percent wage increase in a contract stretching from mid-2017 through mid-2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the agreement has a lot of positive elements to it,” state Sen. Steve Glazer told KQED’s Tara Siler during a Tuesday morning interview at BART’s Walnut Creek station. “Number one, that we’re not going to endure strikes for at least five years.

It became more convenient to drive, or take the train, known then as the Key System, which also crossed the Bay Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a rebirth of ferries in the 1970s, during the oil crisis, and again in the early 1990s after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

But Connolly says the agency is working to make the system more affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking ahead, Connolly says the idea for future ferry service is that eventually you'll be able to catch a ferry every 15 minutes without having to consult a schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's hard to say when that day might be.

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