"content": "\u003cp>The Department of Education will change its approach to campus sexual misconduct and begin a public notice and comment process to issue new regulations, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos announced today. In a speech at George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School, DeVos decried \"a system run amok,\" \"kangaroo courts\" and repeatedly emphasized the plight of the accused. \"One rape is one too many ... one person denied due process is one too many,\" she said. Outside, protesters yelled, \"Stop protecting rapists!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bit of background.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Title IX, a federal law passed in 1972, prohibits sex discrimination in education. It has been best known for driving the expansion of girls' and women's sports.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"MCAptEt7FcwQmmZ2uxPrVlCyirMMfaV7\"]\u003cbr>\nThe Office of Civil Rights, or OCR, under President Obama took the position that Title IX protects girls and women from the threat of sexual assault, harassment or a hostile environment while pursuing their educations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/colleague-201104.html\" target=\"_blank\">letters\u003c/a> and official guidance, OCR told colleges and K-12 schools to investigate complaints more aggressively. Some of the consequences have been controversial across the political spectrum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were told to adopt a “preponderance of the evidence” standard used in civil cases, a lower burden of proof than is typically required in criminal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, OCR stepped up its own investigations of campuses over Title IX complaints. If colleges didn't comply, they stood to lose access to federal student aid, which almost no school can afford to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleges hired Title IX compliance officers -- dozens at schools like Yale and Harvard. They created new rules, policies and procedures. Students, faculty and staff took mandatory training on sex abuse and harassment. The Education Department launched hundreds of investigations, some of which have dragged on for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legal experts and faculty have found fault. Last year, an \u003ca href=\"http://www.saveservices.org/wp-content/uploads/Law-Professor-Open-Letter-May-16-2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">open letter\u003c/a> signed by 21 professors at leading law schools argued that \"free speech and due process on campus are now imperiled.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, a report last year from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aaup.org/report/history-uses-and-abuses-title-ix\">American Association of University Professors\u003c/a> found, \"questions of free speech and academic freedom have been ignored\" in what it called \"abuses\" of Title IX.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an emotional address, DeVos told anecdotes about accused students contemplating, and committing suicide. She mentioned a controversial case in which a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/la-sp-matt-boermeester-removed-unfairly-girlfriend-says-20170730-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">University of Southern California football player was expelled \u003c/a>for what his girlfriend says was merely \"playful roughhousing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also denigrated sexual harassment codes that \"trample free speech rights.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, what happens?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not too much, argues Scott Schneider. Former associate general counsel of Tulane University, he now works with universities on Title IX compliance for the law firm Fisher Phillips. \"None of my clients are going, 'Oh, wow. The Trump administration isn't as aggressive on enforcement now, we're going to scale back.\" The staffing-up and intensified investigations that happened the past several years are supported by advocates and prospective students, he says. However, he says that colleges may be ready to revisit policies with an eye toward improving due process for the accused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you say 'sexual misconduct', that goes on a transcript and that kid has some serious problems,\" says Vanessa Grigoriadis, a journalist who reported on sexual mores across several different campuses for her new book \"Blurred Lines: Rethinking Sex, Power & Consent On Campus.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That kid gets suspended, expelled, humiliated, his parents are totally ostracized. There is real pain on the other side.\" At the same time, she points out, surveys consistently show that more than one in five female college students is a victim of sexual misconduct, most of which is never investigated or punished. \"There is a lot of pain on the girls' side, too.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

If colleges didn't comply, they stood to lose access to federal student aid, which almost no school can afford to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleges hired Title IX compliance officers -- dozens at schools like Yale and Harvard. They created new rules, policies and procedures. Students, faculty and staff took mandatory training on sex abuse and harassment. The Education Department launched hundreds of investigations, some of which have dragged on for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legal experts and faculty have found fault. Last year, an \u003ca href=\"http://www.saveservices.org/wp-content/uploads/Law-Professor-Open-Letter-May-16-2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">open letter\u003c/a> signed by 21 professors at leading law schools argued that \"free speech and due process on campus are now imperiled.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, a report last year from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aaup.org/report/history-uses-and-abuses-title-ix\">American Association of University Professors\u003c/a> found, \"questions of free speech and academic freedom have been ignored\" in what it called \"abuses\" of Title IX.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an emotional address, DeVos told anecdotes about accused students contemplating, and committing suicide. She mentioned a controversial case in which a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/la-sp-matt-boermeester-removed-unfairly-girlfriend-says-20170730-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">University of Southern California football player was expelled \u003c/a>for what his girlfriend says was merely \"playful roughhousing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also denigrated sexual harassment codes that \"trample free speech rights.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, what happens?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not too much, argues Scott Schneider. Former associate general counsel of Tulane University, he now works with universities on Title IX compliance for the law firm Fisher Phillips. \"None of my clients are going, 'Oh, wow. The Trump administration isn't as aggressive on enforcement now, we're going to scale back.\" The staffing-up and intensified investigations that happened the past several years are supported by advocates and prospective students, he says. However, he says that colleges may be ready to revisit policies with an eye toward improving due process for the accused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you say 'sexual misconduct', that goes on a transcript and that kid has some serious problems,\" says Vanessa Grigoriadis, a journalist who reported on sexual mores across several different campuses for her new book \"Blurred Lines: Rethinking Sex, Power & Consent On Campus.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That kid gets suspended, expelled, humiliated, his parents are totally ostracized. There is real pain on the other side.\" At the same time, she points out, surveys consistently show that more than one in five female college students is a victim of sexual misconduct, most of which is never investigated or punished. \"There is a lot of pain on the girls' side, too.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

Critics counter the fast-changing sector is operating in a regulatory void and that some online lenders are sinking vulnerable business owners with exorbitant costs and grueling repayment terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Al-Barri, taking a big loan seemed like a great opportunity at first. Large clients were taking months to pay him, he said, and he wanted to buy equipment and hire employees to expand. But he underestimated how much he would earn, making it very difficult to repay the loan plus the $30,000 in interest he owed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was trying to get out of a bad situation and jumped into a worse one,” said Al-Barri, who declined to name the online lender. His company, J.C. Professional Services, cleans high-rise windows, solar panels and office buildings throughout the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fintech companies use electronic data and computer algorithms to screen borrowers quickly, in a matter of hours or days, usually through online applications. Applicants typically apply for loans under $250,000, the amount most small business owners in the U.S. are looking for, researchers say. The cash for the loans comes from banks, hedge funds and other investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Rapidly Expanding Industry\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the Great Recession, as big banks cut down on their small business lending, fintech stepped in to fill the unmet demand for credit. The industry has boomed, putting it on track to lend as much as $90 billion a year by 2020. That’s according to analysts cited in \u003ca href=\"https://www.treasury.gov/connect/blog/Documents/Opportunities_and_Challenges_in_Online_Marketplace_Lending_white_paper.pdf\">a report\u003c/a> by the U.S. Treasury Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fintech lenders are expanding access to capital while slashing the time and cost of underwriting small-dollar loans. That’s a game changer for entrepreneurs trying to grow and create jobs, said Karen Mills, a senior fellow at Harvard Business School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think this is a really positive thing for the small business owner,” said Mills, who headed the U.S. Small Business Administration from 2009 to 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The innovations in financial technology, Mills added, could particularly help women- and minority-owned businesses, as well as other markets underserved by traditional financial institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as more small business owners have run into trouble after taking expensive online loans, there’s been a growing call for greater oversight, said Mills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If fintech is going to be a solution for small-dollar loans, it is extremely important that we make it transparent and make sure the bad actors don’t take advantage of some of these small business owners,” said Mills, who is working with federal regulators on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Online Loans Are Fast and Easy To Use, Say Borrowers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Convenience was a major reason Tina Paclebar and Jane Nacelli, the owners of a Hayward delivery company, began using online loans from a San Francisco-based fintech company called Fundbox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they applied over a year ago, Fundbox connected to their accounting software. Fundbox’s algorithms then crunched through their income, expenses and how much they were owed by clients, to calculate whether to give them a revolving line of credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with the click of a button, Nacelli and Paclebar can borrow up to $22,500, and the money will be deposited in their bank account within two days, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s convenient and integrated and it gives you that peace of mind that you have a backup plan when you need plan B,” said 46-year-old Paclebar. The couple has used those loans to buy vehicles to expand their business and cover drivers’ salaries when clients take longer than expected to pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11610847\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 4919px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11610847 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4919\" height=\"3433\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602.jpg 4919w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-800x558.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-1020x712.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-1920x1340.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-1180x824.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-960x670.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-375x262.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-520x363.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4919px) 100vw, 4919px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jane Nacelli (left) and Tina Paclebar stand with their daughter Kameron, 8, and dog Waffle at their company’s offices in Hayward. “They were willing to give us money and we needed it at the time,” said Paclebar of online lender Fundbox. “Sometimes you just have to take a chance.” \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Paclebar and Nacelli had applied to their longtime bank, Citibank, for a $75,000 loan to upgrade their vehicle fleet this year. But after turning in their paperwork, going through interviews and waiting for weeks, the bank rejected them, the women said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Big banks have not worked for us,” said Nacelli, 41, adding that the bank cited minor past late credit card payments for declining the loan. Citibank declined to comment on their application, citing customer privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast, Fundbox doesn’t consider personal credit scores when deciding whether to approve a loan. That opens the online lender to work with entrepreneurs who may have lower personal credit scores but growing businesses, said Greg Powell, who directs marketing at Fundbox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why what we’re doing is, I think, so important. We are really looking at the health of the business and not the individual,” Powell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the quick access to cash comes at a cost. Fundbox’s clients face an average annual interest rate between 40 and 50 percent, something savvy customers like Paclebar and Nacelli are keenly aware of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You do look at the fees and you are like, ‘Wow, that’s a lot,'” said Nacelli, pointing to the fees of up to $1,000 for a $6,500 loan. “But if you take only what you need and you pay it back early, it’s a great tool.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fundbox and other online lenders allow borrowers to save on weekly or monthly fees if they pay back a loan’s original amount early, a key feature that Nacelli uses to reduce the expense of their online financing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powell argues that using \u003cem>annual\u003c/em> interest rates to measure his company’s fees inflates the cost of its loans, because their clients have a shorter repayment term, just 3 or 6 months. In addition, his company discloses the dollar amount of their fees up front, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one is ever surprised with the amount that they need to repay,” said Powell. “We are able to serve small business with the number one thing they need, access to capital, in a fair, transparent and user-friendly way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11610848\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11610848 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tina Paclebar closes one of her delivery company’s 26-foot trucks in Hayward. “This is a male dominated industry.

In other cases, Opportunity Fund has been unable to help business owners too deep in debt, said Weaver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of these lenders are just lending people way more money than they could afford and they’re not disclosing the terms transparently. They never quote an APR,” or annual percentage rate, said Weaver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A state \u003ca href=\"http://www.dbo.ca.gov/Press/press_releases/2016/Survey%20Response%20Release%2004-08-16.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey\u003c/a> of more than a dozen fintech companies operating in California found the median APR for small business loans ranged from 15 to 51 percent. But some online lenders reported loans with APRs of more than 100 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those high costs can force mom and pop shop owners to close, said Jose Corona, director of equity for Oakland’s mayor’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you peel down the layers and see the products they are offering, it’s nothing short of online payday lending,” said Corona, adding that surveys by the city have revealed that many fintech borrowers are Latino, African-American or Asian residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ll go to the minority business to say, ‘Look we have a solution for you.’ But their terms are so predatory that it can actually put people out of business,” said Corona, who for years directed a local organization that trains and invests in small businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Online Lenders Say They Offer Opportunity\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As in other lending industries, riskier customers pay higher costs because they are less likely to repay a loan, said Kathryn Petralia, president and co-founder at Kabbage, one of the largest fintech business lenders in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those risky businesses do pay more, but they need a chance,” said Petralia, whose company offers short-term loans with APRs from 18 to 99 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have an opportunity to do something they really wanted to do with resources that were previously unavailable to them because nobody thought they were worth it,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it’s true that some customers facing the highest interest rates default on their loans, said Petralia, others are able to use that money to turn profits and become more stable borrowers over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company benefits from clients fully understanding the total cost of their loan so that they are able to calculate if that financing will work for their business, said Petralia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s one reason Kabbage, On Deck and other fintech business lenders created an easy-to-read price tag last year — they call it a Smart Box — that shows the annual interest rate, fees and total cost of a loan before customers click yes on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This effort by online lenders to increase their transparency is a sign that the industry is maturing, said Harvard’s Karen Mills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Phase one was the Wild West. Phase two is partnerships with more banks,” said Mills, referring to deals such as JPMorgan Chase turning to online lender On Deck to make more small business loans to the bank’s customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Regulators Try to Catch Up\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, fintech companies deal with a mix of regulators that oversee different aspects of their business at the state and federal levels. That’s why representatives at Fundbox and Kabbage said they are interested in a new proposal by the federal agency that regulates large national banks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is considering a license that would allow online to operate as “special purpose” banks nationwide. The companies that apply for such a license would not take deposits from customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all need the federal banking system to be more inclusive, to accommodate new banks, and to adapt to the changing needs of the marketplace, customers and communities,” said Keith Noreika, acting comptroller of the currency, in a July \u003ca href=\"https://www.occ.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2017/nr-occ-2017-82.html\">speech\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California regulators are against such a federal license because it would result in losing authority to protect consumers, said Jan Lynn Owen, the commissioner of the state’s Department of Business Oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are on the ground, we see issues faster,” said Owen. “We also believe that the state laws do a much better job of addressing anti-discrimination and fair lending.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York State and the Conference of State Bank Supervisors \u003ca href=\"https://www.csbs.org/news/press-releases/pr2017/Pages/042617.aspx\">sued\u003c/a> to stop creation of a national fintech license, arguing that federal authorities are overstepping their authority. Owen agrees with that assessment. California has historically overseen alternative lenders that do not take deposits and she said most online lenders fit that bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her agency is gathering data from fintech lenders and looking into requiring companies operating in California to be licensed with the state even if these online lenders are working with out-of-state banks to originate loans, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The laws that we currently have on the books aren’t always in the 21st century,” said Owen, who has been meeting with heads of fintech companies to better understand their business. “We look to these companies to help us change the laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Che Al-Barri, the cleaning company owner, is wary of too much regulation. He said it could put financing out of reach for people like him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If everything gets so regulated that it’s just like banks again, I would have never gotten in a position where I would have gotten any kind of funding,” said Al-Barri. He added that before he opted for his online loan, he was rejected by several banks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Al-Barri’s online loan documents did not disclose an annual interest rate, but what really hurt him, he said, was believing the loan would be a good bet for his business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know how they say ignorance is bliss? Ignorance is deadly. It can kill you financially,” said Al-Barri.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since struggling with his loan, he decided to educate himself on how the financial system works and how to use it to his advantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has read his copy of “Personal Finance for Dummies” several times, and during his long drives across the Bay Area for work, he listens to audio books on finance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Financial literacy is the key,” said Al-Barri. “If you don’t know how to manage your finances and business, you’re going to lose it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Al-Barri was able keep his business. He used his income and borrowed from close friends and family to repay most of his loan. He was then able to refinance the remainder of his debt through Opportunity Fund, the nonprofit lender, at a lower interest rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, he gets offers for more financing “all the time,” he said.

Critics counter the fast-changing sector is operating in a regulatory void and that some online lenders are sinking vulnerable business owners with exorbitant costs and grueling repayment terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Al-Barri, taking a big loan seemed like a great opportunity at first. Large clients were taking months to pay him, he said, and he wanted to buy equipment and hire employees to expand. But he underestimated how much he would earn, making it very difficult to repay the loan plus the $30,000 in interest he owed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was trying to get out of a bad situation and jumped into a worse one,” said Al-Barri, who declined to name the online lender. His company, J.C. Professional Services, cleans high-rise windows, solar panels and office buildings throughout the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fintech companies use electronic data and computer algorithms to screen borrowers quickly, in a matter of hours or days, usually through online applications. Applicants typically apply for loans under $250,000, the amount most small business owners in the U.S. are looking for, researchers say. The cash for the loans comes from banks, hedge funds and other investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Rapidly Expanding Industry\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the Great Recession, as big banks cut down on their small business lending, fintech stepped in to fill the unmet demand for credit. The industry has boomed, putting it on track to lend as much as $90 billion a year by 2020. That’s according to analysts cited in \u003ca href=\"https://www.treasury.gov/connect/blog/Documents/Opportunities_and_Challenges_in_Online_Marketplace_Lending_white_paper.pdf\">a report\u003c/a> by the U.S. Treasury Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fintech lenders are expanding access to capital while slashing the time and cost of underwriting small-dollar loans. That’s a game changer for entrepreneurs trying to grow and create jobs, said Karen Mills, a senior fellow at Harvard Business School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think this is a really positive thing for the small business owner,” said Mills, who headed the U.S. Small Business Administration from 2009 to 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The innovations in financial technology, Mills added, could particularly help women- and minority-owned businesses, as well as other markets underserved by traditional financial institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as more small business owners have run into trouble after taking expensive online loans, there’s been a growing call for greater oversight, said Mills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If fintech is going to be a solution for small-dollar loans, it is extremely important that we make it transparent and make sure the bad actors don’t take advantage of some of these small business owners,” said Mills, who is working with federal regulators on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Online Loans Are Fast and Easy To Use, Say Borrowers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Convenience was a major reason Tina Paclebar and Jane Nacelli, the owners of a Hayward delivery company, began using online loans from a San Francisco-based fintech company called Fundbox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they applied over a year ago, Fundbox connected to their accounting software. Fundbox’s algorithms then crunched through their income, expenses and how much they were owed by clients, to calculate whether to give them a revolving line of credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with the click of a button, Nacelli and Paclebar can borrow up to $22,500, and the money will be deposited in their bank account within two days, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s convenient and integrated and it gives you that peace of mind that you have a backup plan when you need plan B,” said 46-year-old Paclebar. The couple has used those loans to buy vehicles to expand their business and cover drivers’ salaries when clients take longer than expected to pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11610847\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 4919px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11610847 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4919\" height=\"3433\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602.jpg 4919w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-800x558.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-1020x712.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-1920x1340.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-1180x824.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-960x670.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-375x262.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26163_alt_602-520x363.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4919px) 100vw, 4919px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jane Nacelli (left) and Tina Paclebar stand with their daughter Kameron, 8, and dog Waffle at their company’s offices in Hayward. “They were willing to give us money and we needed it at the time,” said Paclebar of online lender Fundbox. “Sometimes you just have to take a chance.” \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Paclebar and Nacelli had applied to their longtime bank, Citibank, for a $75,000 loan to upgrade their vehicle fleet this year. But after turning in their paperwork, going through interviews and waiting for weeks, the bank rejected them, the women said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Big banks have not worked for us,” said Nacelli, 41, adding that the bank cited minor past late credit card payments for declining the loan. Citibank declined to comment on their application, citing customer privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast, Fundbox doesn’t consider personal credit scores when deciding whether to approve a loan. That opens the online lender to work with entrepreneurs who may have lower personal credit scores but growing businesses, said Greg Powell, who directs marketing at Fundbox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why what we’re doing is, I think, so important. We are really looking at the health of the business and not the individual,” Powell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the quick access to cash comes at a cost. Fundbox’s clients face an average annual interest rate between 40 and 50 percent, something savvy customers like Paclebar and Nacelli are keenly aware of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You do look at the fees and you are like, ‘Wow, that’s a lot,'” said Nacelli, pointing to the fees of up to $1,000 for a $6,500 loan. “But if you take only what you need and you pay it back early, it’s a great tool.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fundbox and other online lenders allow borrowers to save on weekly or monthly fees if they pay back a loan’s original amount early, a key feature that Nacelli uses to reduce the expense of their online financing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powell argues that using \u003cem>annual\u003c/em> interest rates to measure his company’s fees inflates the cost of its loans, because their clients have a shorter repayment term, just 3 or 6 months. In addition, his company discloses the dollar amount of their fees up front, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one is ever surprised with the amount that they need to repay,” said Powell. “We are able to serve small business with the number one thing they need, access to capital, in a fair, transparent and user-friendly way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11610848\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11610848 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26161_IMG_0849-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tina Paclebar closes one of her delivery company’s 26-foot trucks in Hayward. “This is a male dominated industry.

In other cases, Opportunity Fund has been unable to help business owners too deep in debt, said Weaver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of these lenders are just lending people way more money than they could afford and they’re not disclosing the terms transparently. They never quote an APR,” or annual percentage rate, said Weaver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A state \u003ca href=\"http://www.dbo.ca.gov/Press/press_releases/2016/Survey%20Response%20Release%2004-08-16.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey\u003c/a> of more than a dozen fintech companies operating in California found the median APR for small business loans ranged from 15 to 51 percent. But some online lenders reported loans with APRs of more than 100 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those high costs can force mom and pop shop owners to close, said Jose Corona, director of equity for Oakland’s mayor’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you peel down the layers and see the products they are offering, it’s nothing short of online payday lending,” said Corona, adding that surveys by the city have revealed that many fintech borrowers are Latino, African-American or Asian residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ll go to the minority business to say, ‘Look we have a solution for you.’ But their terms are so predatory that it can actually put people out of business,” said Corona, who for years directed a local organization that trains and invests in small businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Online Lenders Say They Offer Opportunity\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As in other lending industries, riskier customers pay higher costs because they are less likely to repay a loan, said Kathryn Petralia, president and co-founder at Kabbage, one of the largest fintech business lenders in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those risky businesses do pay more, but they need a chance,” said Petralia, whose company offers short-term loans with APRs from 18 to 99 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have an opportunity to do something they really wanted to do with resources that were previously unavailable to them because nobody thought they were worth it,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it’s true that some customers facing the highest interest rates default on their loans, said Petralia, others are able to use that money to turn profits and become more stable borrowers over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company benefits from clients fully understanding the total cost of their loan so that they are able to calculate if that financing will work for their business, said Petralia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s one reason Kabbage, On Deck and other fintech business lenders created an easy-to-read price tag last year — they call it a Smart Box — that shows the annual interest rate, fees and total cost of a loan before customers click yes on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This effort by online lenders to increase their transparency is a sign that the industry is maturing, said Harvard’s Karen Mills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Phase one was the Wild West. Phase two is partnerships with more banks,” said Mills, referring to deals such as JPMorgan Chase turning to online lender On Deck to make more small business loans to the bank’s customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Regulators Try to Catch Up\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, fintech companies deal with a mix of regulators that oversee different aspects of their business at the state and federal levels. That’s why representatives at Fundbox and Kabbage said they are interested in a new proposal by the federal agency that regulates large national banks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is considering a license that would allow online to operate as “special purpose” banks nationwide. The companies that apply for such a license would not take deposits from customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all need the federal banking system to be more inclusive, to accommodate new banks, and to adapt to the changing needs of the marketplace, customers and communities,” said Keith Noreika, acting comptroller of the currency, in a July \u003ca href=\"https://www.occ.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2017/nr-occ-2017-82.html\">speech\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California regulators are against such a federal license because it would result in losing authority to protect consumers, said Jan Lynn Owen, the commissioner of the state’s Department of Business Oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are on the ground, we see issues faster,” said Owen. “We also believe that the state laws do a much better job of addressing anti-discrimination and fair lending.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York State and the Conference of State Bank Supervisors \u003ca href=\"https://www.csbs.org/news/press-releases/pr2017/Pages/042617.aspx\">sued\u003c/a> to stop creation of a national fintech license, arguing that federal authorities are overstepping their authority. Owen agrees with that assessment. California has historically overseen alternative lenders that do not take deposits and she said most online lenders fit that bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her agency is gathering data from fintech lenders and looking into requiring companies operating in California to be licensed with the state even if these online lenders are working with out-of-state banks to originate loans, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The laws that we currently have on the books aren’t always in the 21st century,” said Owen, who has been meeting with heads of fintech companies to better understand their business. “We look to these companies to help us change the laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Che Al-Barri, the cleaning company owner, is wary of too much regulation. He said it could put financing out of reach for people like him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If everything gets so regulated that it’s just like banks again, I would have never gotten in a position where I would have gotten any kind of funding,” said Al-Barri. He added that before he opted for his online loan, he was rejected by several banks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Al-Barri’s online loan documents did not disclose an annual interest rate, but what really hurt him, he said, was believing the loan would be a good bet for his business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know how they say ignorance is bliss? Ignorance is deadly. It can kill you financially,” said Al-Barri.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since struggling with his loan, he decided to educate himself on how the financial system works and how to use it to his advantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has read his copy of “Personal Finance for Dummies” several times, and during his long drives across the Bay Area for work, he listens to audio books on finance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Financial literacy is the key,” said Al-Barri. “If you don’t know how to manage your finances and business, you’re going to lose it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Al-Barri was able keep his business. He used his income and borrowed from close friends and family to repay most of his loan. He was then able to refinance the remainder of his debt through Opportunity Fund, the nonprofit lender, at a lower interest rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>An independent forensic panel investigating the failure of Oroville Dam's main spillway last February has released an interim report that provides a new glimpse at how the structure came apart in February, triggering a crisis that led to the emergency evacuation of 180,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3987374/IFT-Interim-Memo-Final-09-05-17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">seven-page memo\u003c/a> also suggests that the California Department of Water Resources, which owns and operates the dam, was blind to a long history of problems that began accumulating during the design of the spillway in the 1960s and continued through the morning of Feb. 7, when the massive concrete structure began to disintegrate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, released Tuesday, says it has found no evidence that DWR ever conducted the kind of comprehensive review of the spillway's original design and construction that might have brought to light the many problems that eventually undermined and destroyed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John France, a dam engineer based in Denver and the forensic team's leader, told reporters those shortcomings were all detailed in DWR files.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There has never been an evaluation completely that went back thoroughly in the files,\" as far as the panel could determine, France said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo was released by the \u003ca href=\"https://damsafety.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Association of State Dam Safety Officials\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ussdams.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">United States Society on Dams\u003c/a>, which assembled the team in March at the direction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report largely corroborates analyses from a team led by Robert Bea, an emeritus professor of civil engineering and leading expert in catastrophic risk management. Bea and associates concluded that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/18/report-design-building-and-upkeep-flaws-led-to-oroville-spillway-failure/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the spillway was doomed\u003c/a> by flawed design, construction and maintenance and that state and federal overseers \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/07/21/oroville-dam-spillway-report-alleges-dwr-ferc-negligence/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">were negligent\u003c/a> in their response to spillway deficiencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure began, the independent forensic team says, as the Department of Water Resources increased flows down the spillway -- a step taken to make room in Lake Oroville for a surge of runoff from major winter storms in early February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the flow coming down the concrete chute on Feb. 7 was far below both the design capacity and some past releases, the rapidly moving water started to pull the spillway apart. The forensic team says it believes water flowing through open joints and myriad cracks and other flaws in the concrete surface created excessive pressure beneath the chute that lifted up part of one 40-by-50-foot slab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the first slab dislodged, water plunged into the gap and rapidly eroded the spillway foundation, ripping out more slabs. By the time flows were stopped -- less than three hours after the initial breach occurred -- a crater had formed that was about 200 feet long and stretched nearly all the way across the 180-foot-wide spillway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forensic team said it was uncertain why the spillway failed in February after surviving earlier major releases. It said possibilities include recent damage or the deterioration of extensive earlier repairs; the expansion of voids under the slab that had formed due to long-term erosion; corrosion of reinforcing steel in the chute's concrete; and compromised steel anchor bars designed to help hold the concrete slabs in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo also catalogs a series of design and construction flaws that made the spillway vulnerable to failure. Among them, the report calls out a poorly designed drainage system installed in a way that some parts of the concrete slab were as little as 4 inches thick; insufficient steel reinforcement; failure to remove weathered rock and dirt from large sections of the spillway foundation; and an inadequate system for anchoring the slab to underlying rock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forensic team says it's still looking at what it calls the \"human and organizational factors\" that may have contributed to the spillway failure -- an inquiry that covers everything from how the Department of Water Resources made its initial decision on where to build the spillway to how it has inspected the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strongest language in the memo is in a final \"lessons to be learned\" section, where the forensic experts call on dam owners to perform periodic reviews of the original design and construction of their facilities and compare them to \"current state of the practice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The (independent forensic team) has not seen any indication that such a review for the service spillway chute at Oroville Dam has ever been conducted since original construction,\" the memo said, \"Such a review would likely have 'connected the dots'\" and helped past safety reviews identify the factors that led to the spillway failure, the document says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement released after the memo was released, DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon said the department \"agrees ... that dam owners need to reassess current procedures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointing to DWR's directive earlier this year for immediate reviews of the safety of nearly 100 dams statewide, Mellon said the department is determined to apply lessons learned from the Oroville crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The additional spillway evaluations already underway are the start of that process,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo was released by the \u003ca href=\"https://damsafety.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Association of State Dam Safety Officials\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ussdams.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">United States Society on Dams\u003c/a>, which assembled the team in March at the direction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report largely corroborates analyses from a team led by Robert Bea, an emeritus professor of civil engineering and leading expert in catastrophic risk management. Bea and associates concluded that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/18/report-design-building-and-upkeep-flaws-led-to-oroville-spillway-failure/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the spillway was doomed\u003c/a> by flawed design, construction and maintenance and that state and federal overseers \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/07/21/oroville-dam-spillway-report-alleges-dwr-ferc-negligence/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">were negligent\u003c/a> in their response to spillway deficiencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure began, the independent forensic team says, as the Department of Water Resources increased flows down the spillway -- a step taken to make room in Lake Oroville for a surge of runoff from major winter storms in early February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the flow coming down the concrete chute on Feb. 7 was far below both the design capacity and some past releases, the rapidly moving water started to pull the spillway apart. The forensic team says it believes water flowing through open joints and myriad cracks and other flaws in the concrete surface created excessive pressure beneath the chute that lifted up part of one 40-by-50-foot slab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the first slab dislodged, water plunged into the gap and rapidly eroded the spillway foundation, ripping out more slabs. By the time flows were stopped -- less than three hours after the initial breach occurred -- a crater had formed that was about 200 feet long and stretched nearly all the way across the 180-foot-wide spillway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forensic team said it was uncertain why the spillway failed in February after surviving earlier major releases. It said possibilities include recent damage or the deterioration of extensive earlier repairs; the expansion of voids under the slab that had formed due to long-term erosion; corrosion of reinforcing steel in the chute's concrete; and compromised steel anchor bars designed to help hold the concrete slabs in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo also catalogs a series of design and construction flaws that made the spillway vulnerable to failure. Among them, the report calls out a poorly designed drainage system installed in a way that some parts of the concrete slab were as little as 4 inches thick; insufficient steel reinforcement; failure to remove weathered rock and dirt from large sections of the spillway foundation; and an inadequate system for anchoring the slab to underlying rock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forensic team says it's still looking at what it calls the \"human and organizational factors\" that may have contributed to the spillway failure -- an inquiry that covers everything from how the Department of Water Resources made its initial decision on where to build the spillway to how it has inspected the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strongest language in the memo is in a final \"lessons to be learned\" section, where the forensic experts call on dam owners to perform periodic reviews of the original design and construction of their facilities and compare them to \"current state of the practice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The (independent forensic team) has not seen any indication that such a review for the service spillway chute at Oroville Dam has ever been conducted since original construction,\" the memo said, \"Such a review would likely have 'connected the dots'\" and helped past safety reviews identify the factors that led to the spillway failure, the document says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement released after the memo was released, DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon said the department \"agrees ... that dam owners need to reassess current procedures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointing to DWR's directive earlier this year for immediate reviews of the safety of nearly 100 dams statewide, Mellon said the department is determined to apply lessons learned from the Oroville crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The additional spillway evaluations already underway are the start of that process,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He also offered to install company perks like free frozen yogurt and a roller coaster connecting buildings together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to get crazy good,” Musk wrote in the memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a \u003ca href=\"http://worksafe.typepad.com/files/worksafe_tesla5_24.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> published by the advocacy group Worksafe said nonfatal reported injuries at Tesla’s Fremont plant actually were 31 percent higher in 2015 than the industry as a whole (data for 2016 has not yet been released).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to KQED regarding the NLRB complaint, a Tesla spokesperson said the charges were baseless and blamed the United Auto Workers for coercing employees to unionize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“As we approach Labor Day weekend, there’s a certain irony in just how far the UAW has strayed from the original mission of the American labor movement, which once advocated so nobly for the rights of workers and is the reason we recognize this important holiday. Faced with declining membership, an overwhelming loss at a Nissan plant earlier this month, corruption charges that were recently leveled against union leaders who misused UAW funds, and failure to gain traction with our employees, it’s no surprise the union is feeling pressured to continue its publicity campaign against Tesla. For seven years, the UAW has used every tool in its playbook: misleading and outright false communications, unsolicited and unwelcomed visits to the homes of our employees, attempts to discredit Tesla publicly in the media, and now another tactic that has been used in every union campaign since the beginning of time – baseless ULP filings that are meant only to generate headlines. These allegations, which have been filed by the same contingent of union organizers who have been so outspoken with media, are entirely without merit. We will obviously be responding as part of the NLRB process.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla must respond to the NLRB complaint by September 14, 2017. The company has a right to a trial with a federal administrative law judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>[teslaDocCloud]\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
