But nationally it’s on the decline. Over half the states in the country are right-to-work states. That means employees cannot be compelled to join unions. Sylvia Allegretto is a labor economist with the \u003ca href=\"http://irle.berkeley.edu/cwed/\" target=\"_blank\">Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics\u003c/a> at UC Berkeley.

She points to Trump’s pick of Andy Puzder to be labor secretary. Puzder is chief executive of a company that franchises fast food restaurants.

And he was going to keep auto plants thriving in our nation. And those are union jobs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butler says SEIU wants to focus on protecting the Affordable Care Act and protecting immigrants.

He acknowledges unions are under siege.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But we also look at this as an unprecedented opportunity to organize, to talk to workers about the value of having a union, to talk to workers about being able to stand together to demand fair treatment from their employers,\" he says. \"We don’t want to just play defense for four years, we want to go on offense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, make lemonade out of lemons. To that end, Smith says there’s a large focus on mobilizing members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to have people out in the streets for the foreseeable future,\" he says. \"Because that’s how we believe we win over the long term.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether Congress or the White House will be listening remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But nationally it’s on the decline. Over half the states in the country are right-to-work states. That means employees cannot be compelled to join unions. Sylvia Allegretto is a labor economist with the \u003ca href=\"http://irle.berkeley.edu/cwed/\" target=\"_blank\">Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics\u003c/a> at UC Berkeley. She says it will be telling to see how the federal Department of Labor will act on workplace policies under Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She points to Trump’s pick of Andy Puzder to be labor secretary. Puzder is chief executive of a company that franchises fast food restaurants. He has criticized minimum wage increases and paid sick leave.

To that end, Smith says there’s a large focus on mobilizing members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to have people out in the streets for the foreseeable future,\" he says. \"Because that’s how we believe we win over the long term.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether Congress or the White House will be listening remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

All 50 of his employees lost their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kasedah says they tolerated the war for nearly a year, but then the fighting came too close to their home in a Damascus suburb.

Kasedah says the family even developed a routine around the interviews, since they were so frequent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew that if I had an interview that day, I was leaving at eight. I would not be home until the evening. So I would pack sandwiches for the kids,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family was interviewed together and separately.

Kasedah says the violence severely stressed the children, who now range in age from 11 to 22.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All they talked about was war: ‘I saw someone’s leg cut off and I saw a body part here and there,’ ” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the fighting reached Rawoas’ factory, he shut it down. All 50 of his employees lost their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kasedah says they tolerated the war for nearly a year, but then the fighting came too close to their home in a Damascus suburb. At one point, two tanks faced off in front of the Rawoas family house.

All of the bombing was right over my house. The electricity went out, and there was no place safe since my whole house is windows. I was scared. We all slept in a small hallway between the rooms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family of six spent the last night in their home on a foam mattress in the dark, crying, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next morning, they fled their home of eight years. Kasedah wept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My husband said, ‘You sound like you’ve lost a child the way you’re crying,’ ” she recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In Jordan, in Limbo\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After crossing the border to Jordan, the family was able to register as refugees with the United Nations. Luckily, they rented a house in Jordan, rather than living in the challenging circumstances of a refugee camp. Kasedah felt this was critical to the safety of her children, especially her teenage daughters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the mother describes this period of waiting as one of the hardest times the family faced. As refugees, it was hard to find work. Every time the kids went back to school, it was unclear if they’d finish the term. Rawoas and Kasedah worried that any misstep could send them all back to Syria.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We’ve come to America, and we’ve lived in America, and eaten its food and seen its people.

They said, ‘We still don’t know.’ We were happy, because we just wanted a way out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their way out was to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family’s waiting period was punctuated by daylong interviews with a variety of government officials every two-three months. Kasedah says the family even developed a routine around the interviews, since they were so frequent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew that if I had an interview that day, I was leaving at eight. I would not be home until the evening. So I would pack sandwiches for the kids,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family was interviewed together and separately.

The roots of upturned trees capture gravel, which provides essential spawning ground for federally protected steelhead trout. The back eddies and side channels next to the unearthed trees give fish a place to hide from predators like kingfishers and garter snakes. Or rest, as they make their long trek up river to spawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tearing Down a Relic, Restoring a River\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The river hasn’t been this messy since Woodrow Wilson was president. All that debris used to be trapped behind the San Clemente Dam, a concrete behemoth built in 1921 that became choked with silt and was eventually declared seismically unsafe in 1991. The dam crossed where the Carmel River and the San Clemente Creek naturally converged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Clemente Dam stopped supplying water to Monterey residents in 2002, when it was 90 percent full of silt and there was only a sliver of storage capacity left for water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cranes and bulldozers chipped away at it, demolishing the dam in 2015 after state and federal agencies decided it was too hazardous. If it were flooded or if an earthquake struck, up to 250,000 dump trucks worth of sediment could spew forth, suffocating anything living in the river.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"sharedaddy show-for-medium-up\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1375780\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop.jpg\" alt=\"Dam_desktop\" width=\"1334\" height=\"1075\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop.jpg 1334w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-160x129.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-800x645.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-768x619.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-1020x822.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-1180x951.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-960x774.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-240x193.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-375x302.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_desktop-520x419.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1334px) 100vw, 1334px\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"show-for-small-only\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1375781\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile.jpg\" alt=\"Dam_mobile\" width=\"752\" height=\"1335\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile.jpg 752w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile-160x284.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile-240x426.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile-375x666.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/02/Dam_mobile-520x923.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project involved a major river reroute—getting half a mile of the Carmel to flow into an adjacent stream: San Clemente Creek. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This allowed engineers to stabilize the built-up sediment behind the dam and cover it with grass and tree saplings.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trish Chapman, regional manager for the \u003ca href=\"http://scc.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California State Coastal Conservancy\u003c/a>, says the removal “seemed so much smarter than just slapping more concrete on a dam that no longer had any function.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://amwater.com/caaw/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California American Water Company\u003c/a>, the agency that owns the dam, could have retrofitted the structure for $49 million, which still would have presented problems as the dam weakened and aged.

The roots of upturned trees capture gravel, which provides essential spawning ground for federally protected steelhead trout.

All that debris used to be trapped behind the San Clemente Dam, a concrete behemoth built in 1921 that became choked with silt and was eventually declared seismically unsafe in 1991. The dam crossed where the Carmel River and the San Clemente Creek naturally converged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Clemente Dam stopped supplying water to Monterey residents in 2002, when it was 90 percent full of silt and there was only a sliver of storage capacity left for water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cranes and bulldozers chipped away at it, demolishing the dam in 2015 after state and federal agencies decided it was too hazardous.

He asked the president, “Is there any validity to the criticism of you that you say things that you can’t back up factually?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the Fox News host mentioned Trump’s baseless statements about illegal voting and hazarded an old-fashioned suggestion: that Trump needed evidence to support his claims that 3 million or more noncitizens cast ballots in the November election, thus denying him a triumph in the nation’s popular vote. The \u003ca href=\"http://cookpolitical.com/story/10174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">final nationwide tally \u003c/a>showed Trump trailing Democrat Hillary Clinton by 2,864,974 votes, a 2.1% deficit that is by far the largest in modern presidential election history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump told O’Reilly that “many people” have supported his claim. The only one \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/824968416486387713\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he’s named publicly\u003c/a> is Gregg Phillips. He’s the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/gregg-phillips-trump-voter-fraud/515046/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">self-described voter-fraud activist\u003c/a> who has claimed, without producing any evidence, that millions voted illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garance Burke of the Associated Press \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/31/trumps-voter-fraud-expert-registered-in-3-states/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported last week\u003c/a> that Phillips himself is registered to vote in three states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phillips said that was evidence of a broken system, not fraud, and he claims that volunteers have turned up “thousands” of examples nationwide of duplicated registrations and of dead people still on voter rolls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s hardly evidence of millions of illegal votes, and in an interview with \u003cem>The Atlantic\u003c/em> last week, Phillips appeared to soften his claim:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over a hundred million people voted. Impacting a presidential election is probably less likely than impacting anything down-ballot,” Phillips said. “I’m not gonna be goaded into going faster than I want to. I’m not a government official, I don’t have protections, and if I accuse somebody of voter fraud, we have to be sure that what we’re saying is right. While I believe I’m right, it’s in my best interest and everybody else’s best interest to make sure this is right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe Trump had Phillips’ retreat in mind when he told O’Reilly that the real problem is voter registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at the registration and you see dead people that have voted, when you see people that are registered in two states and voted in two states, when you see other things, people that are illegals, that are not citizens, and they’re on the registration rolls,” the president said. “Look, Bill, we can be babies, you look at the registration, we have illegals, we have dead people, you have this, it’s really a bad situation, it’s really bad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Reilly again brought up the need for data to back up Trump’s previous claims about the extent of illegal voting. Trump responded, “Forget that. Forget all of that. Just take a look at the registration, and we’re going to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He then announced Pence will lead a commission to study voter registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’ll be my honor to lead that commission on behalf of the president and to look into that and give the American people the facts,” Pence told Fox News on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the transcript of Trump’s exchange with O’Reilly on the subject of the president’s unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 election:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O’Reilly:\u003c/strong> Is there any validity to the criticism of you that you say things that you can’t back up factually, and as the president — if you say for example that there are 3 million illegal aliens who voted and then you don’t have the data to back it up, some people are going to say that it’s irresponsible for a president to say that. Is there any validity to that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> Well, many people have come out and said I’m right, you know that …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O’Reilly:\u003c/strong> Yeah, but you have to have data to back that up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> … Let me just tell you. And it doesn’t have to do with the vote, though that’s the end result, it has to do with the registration. When you look at the registration and you see dead people that have voted, when you see people that are registered in two states and voted in two states, when you see other things, people that are illegals, that are not citizens, and they’re on the registration rolls. Look, Bill, we can be babies, you look at the registration, we have illegals , we have dead people, you have this, it’s really a bad situation, it’s really bad. And …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O’Reilly:\u003c/strong> So you think you’re going to be proven correct on that statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> Well, I think I already have. People have come out and said that I am correct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O’Reilly:\u003c/strong> Yeah, but the data have to show that 3 million illegals voted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> Forget that. Forget all of that. Just take a look at the registration, and we’re going to do it.

He asked the president, “Is there any validity to the criticism of you that you say things that you can’t back up factually?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the Fox News host mentioned Trump’s baseless statements about illegal voting and hazarded an old-fashioned suggestion: that Trump needed evidence to support his claims that 3 million or more noncitizens cast ballots in the November election, thus denying him a triumph in the nation’s popular vote. The \u003ca href=\"http://cookpolitical.com/story/10174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">final nationwide tally \u003c/a>showed Trump trailing Democrat Hillary Clinton by 2,864,974 votes, a 2.1% deficit that is by far the largest in modern presidential election history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump told O’Reilly that “many people” have supported his claim.

Impacting a presidential election is probably less likely than impacting anything down-ballot,” Phillips said. “I’m not gonna be goaded into going faster than I want to. I’m not a government official, I don’t have protections, and if I accuse somebody of voter fraud, we have to be sure that what we’re saying is right. While I believe I’m right, it’s in my best interest and everybody else’s best interest to make sure this is right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe Trump had Phillips’ retreat in mind when he told O’Reilly that the real problem is voter registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at the registration and you see dead people that have voted, when you see people that are registered in two states and voted in two states, when you see other things, people that are illegals, that are not citizens, and they’re on the registration rolls,” the president said. “Look, Bill, we can be babies, you look at the registration, we have illegals, we have dead people, you have this, it’s really a bad situation, it’s really bad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Reilly again brought up the need for data to back up Trump’s previous claims about the extent of illegal voting. Trump responded, “Forget that. Forget all of that. Just take a look at the registration, and we’re going to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He then announced Pence will lead a commission to study voter registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’ll be my honor to lead that commission on behalf of the president and to look into that and give the American people the facts,” Pence told Fox News on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the transcript of Trump’s exchange with O’Reilly on the subject of the president’s unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 election:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O’Reilly:\u003c/strong> Is there any validity to the criticism of you that you say things that you can’t back up factually, and as the president — if you say for example that there are 3 million illegal aliens who voted and then you don’t have the data to back it up, some people are going to say that it’s irresponsible for a president to say that. Is there any validity to that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> Well, many people have come out and said I’m right, you know that …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O’Reilly:\u003c/strong> Yeah, but you have to have data to back that up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> … Let me just tell you. And it doesn’t have to do with the vote, though that’s the end result, it has to do with the registration. When you look at the registration and you see dead people that have voted, when you see people that are registered in two states and voted in two states, when you see other things, people that are illegals, that are not citizens, and they’re on the registration rolls. Look, Bill, we can be babies, you look at the registration, we have illegals , we have dead people, you have this, it’s really a bad situation, it’s really bad. And …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O’Reilly:\u003c/strong> So you think you’re going to be proven correct on that statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> Well, I think I already have. People have come out and said that I am correct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O’Reilly:\u003c/strong> Yeah, but the data have to show that 3 million illegals voted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump:\u003c/strong> Forget that. Forget all of that. Just take a look at the registration, and we’re going to do it. I’m going to set up a commission to be headed by Vice President Mike Pence, and we’re going to look at it very, very carefully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>O’Reilly:\u003c/strong> Well, that’s good.
