"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

According to a Government Accountability Office report, it typically takes at least two hours to prepare a court case, compared to a half-hour to release someone on parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migrants paroled by Border Patrol agents are allowed to move freely within the United States and told to report to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices at their final destinations, typically in two months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GAO report, released in September, details how the processing work dumped on ICE has hamstrung employees. As of March, ICE scheduled 15,100 appointments for families to complete processing as far out as March 2024. One ICE office reported up to 500 people a day showing up in person, most without appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After families get a court appearance, they contend with a court system that is backlogged by more than 2 million cases, resulting in waits of several years for judges to reach decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waiting two years just to get on the court docket reflects a “totally collapsed” system, said Theresa Cardinal Brown, managing director of immigration and cross-border policy for the Bipartisan Policy Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online registration using CBP One would be “antithetical to the whole concept of asylum” because it could force people to wait in unsafe places, said Melissa Crow, litigation director for the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at the University of California Hastings College of the Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crow and others believe CBP could process far more people than they have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the agency processed up to about 1,000 Ukrainians a day at San Diego’s San Ysidro border crossing, about three times its custody capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the pandemic, migrants released in San Diego have been housed in motels until leaving, usually on a flight to family and friends east of the Mississippi River, Clark said. To prepare for the end of Title 42, Jewish Family Service opened a building for families to snack, watch television and play in a courtyard after they book travel, freeing up motel rooms for new arrivals. Clark likens it to an “airport lounge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP has been releasing more migrants to Jewish Family Service through exemptions to the asylum limits — about 200 to 250 a day, Clark said. Others are housed by the Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a day we’ve been working toward for some time,” Clark said Monday, having heard nothing from CBP about how migrants will be processed after asylum limits end.

According to a Government Accountability Office report, it typically takes at least two hours to prepare a court case, compared to a half-hour to release someone on parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migrants paroled by Border Patrol agents are allowed to move freely within the United States and told to report to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices at their final destinations, typically in two months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GAO report, released in September, details how the processing work dumped on ICE has hamstrung employees. As of March, ICE scheduled 15,100 appointments for families to complete processing as far out as March 2024. One ICE office reported up to 500 people a day showing up in person, most without appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After families get a court appearance, they contend with a court system that is backlogged by more than 2 million cases, resulting in waits of several years for judges to reach decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waiting two years just to get on the court docket reflects a “totally collapsed” system, said Theresa Cardinal Brown, managing director of immigration and cross-border policy for the Bipartisan Policy Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online registration using CBP One would be “antithetical to the whole concept of asylum” because it could force people to wait in unsafe places, said Melissa Crow, litigation director for the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at the University of California Hastings College of the Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crow and others believe CBP could process far more people than they have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the agency processed up to about 1,000 Ukrainians a day at San Diego’s San Ysidro border crossing, about three times its custody capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the pandemic, migrants released in San Diego have been housed in motels until leaving, usually on a flight to family and friends east of the Mississippi River, Clark said. To prepare for the end of Title 42, Jewish Family Service opened a building for families to snack, watch television and play in a courtyard after they book travel, freeing up motel rooms for new arrivals. Clark likens it to an “airport lounge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP has been releasing more migrants to Jewish Family Service through exemptions to the asylum limits — about 200 to 250 a day, Clark said. Others are housed by the Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a day we’ve been working toward for some time,” Clark said Monday, having heard nothing from CBP about how migrants will be processed after asylum limits end.

But at one point during the COVID-19 pandemic, all ICE detainees were released, partly due to a federal court order aimed at \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835611/ice-detainees-at-yuba-jail-press-for-covid-19-protections\">preventing an outbreak\u003c/a> of the virus inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before COVID restrictions, our jail averaged close to 175 detainees,” said Yuba County Sheriff Wendell Anderson in a statement Friday. “That number has gradually decreased and it’s understandable that it no longer fiscally makes sense for ICE to continue the contract.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under President Joe Biden, the Department of Homeland Security has discontinued use of several other ICE detention facilities, including ones in Massachusetts, Georgia, Alabama and Florida.

A local nonprofit helped Angeles, a skilled photographer, find work taking portraits for $45 each. She uses the money to cover her out-of-pocket costs, but is unsure of how she will earn money to pay for school in the future.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Josh Fryday, chief service officer, state of California\"]‘Historically, unfortunately, service has excluded people.

But California’s estimated 75,000 undocumented students don’t qualify for federal work-study programs or most job opportunities, and many struggle to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new state service program launched last week, \u003ca href=\"https://www.californiavolunteers.ca.gov/californiansforall-college-corps/\">#CaliforniansForAll College Corps\u003c/a>, will give hundreds of them an opportunity to earn money for college while doing community service. It’s the latest of a number of efforts California has made to help undocumented students pay for college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2022/02/california-volunteer-college/\">College Corps fellows\u003c/a> will learn from community-based organizations, taking on projects in the public schools, tackling food insecurity and combating climate change. Fellows receive as much as $10,000 for completing a year of service, which includes a living allowance and an education award.[aside postID=\"news_11925358,news_11923249,news_11914800\" label=\"Related Posts\"]“Our global goal is to engage more people in service and have more people work in the community to solve big problems,” said Josh Fryday, California’s chief service officer, whose office runs College Corps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With 3,200 spots to fill, College Corps has welcomed about 570 fellows who are AB 540 California Dream Act students, meaning they lack legal residency in California but attended high school here and qualify for resident tuition. It launched the same week that a federal appeals court ruled that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program that gives work permits and protection from deportation to some undocumented students who arrived in the country as children, violates immigration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/immigration/2020/06/supreme-court-daca-decision-trump-dreamers/\">ongoing legal battles over DACA\u003c/a> have ratcheted up stress for undocumented students. In a 2020 survey of about 1,300 undocumented college students in California, \u003ca href=\"https://cpb-us-e2.wpmucdn.com/sites.uci.edu/dist/4/3807/files/2020/12/State_Of_Undocumented_Students_2020report.pdf\">96% reported worrying about not having enough money to pay for things\u003c/a>, with 60% worrying a lot of the time, almost always or always.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Historically, unfortunately, service has excluded people. We hope, with this program, that the message that we’re sending from California is clear, which is that we really value our Dreamers,” said Fryday. “We know how much they can contribute to making this world a better place for us all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yusbely Delgado Medrano, a student at the University of California, Davis, told CalMatters how thankful she was for opportunities like College Corps. Delgado Medrano has wanted to be a pediatrician since high school, but during her sophomore year, she said, her father told her she might not be able to because of her immigration status. Delgado Medrano persisted, taking advanced placement classes and applying for DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had my whole life planned,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, just before she started at UC Davis, a federal judge blocked new applicants to the DACA program. Delgado Medrano applied for a campus job after being told they accepted AB 540 students like her. But after going through training, she said, she learned she wasn’t eligible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a very upsetting time,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As one of the 2022-2023 College Corps fellows, Delgado Medrano is now creating a program for sixth grade students in local schools. “Our mission is to encourage low-income students to go into college,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11928604\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11928604\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM-800x534.png\" alt=\"Several people wearing white t-shirts in an auditorium applaud.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM-800x534.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM-1536x1025.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM.png 1544w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">College Corps fellows applaud speakers during their swearing-in ceremony in Sacramento on Oct. 7, 2022. \u003ccite>(Rahul Lal/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Before California put in place policies to support undocumented students who wanted to attend college, students had to come up with creative ways to pay for their education, said Eric Yang, coordinator of UC Riverside’s Undocumented Student Programs.

It launched the same week that a federal appeals court ruled that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program that gives work permits and protection from deportation to some undocumented students who arrived in the country as children, violates immigration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/immigration/2020/06/supreme-court-daca-decision-trump-dreamers/\">ongoing legal battles over DACA\u003c/a> have ratcheted up stress for undocumented students. In a 2020 survey of about 1,300 undocumented college students in California, \u003ca href=\"https://cpb-us-e2.wpmucdn.com/sites.uci.edu/dist/4/3807/files/2020/12/State_Of_Undocumented_Students_2020report.pdf\">96% reported worrying about not having enough money to pay for things\u003c/a>, with 60% worrying a lot of the time, almost always or always.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Historically, unfortunately, service has excluded people. We hope, with this program, that the message that we’re sending from California is clear, which is that we really value our Dreamers,” said Fryday. “We know how much they can contribute to making this world a better place for us all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yusbely Delgado Medrano, a student at the University of California, Davis, told CalMatters how thankful she was for opportunities like College Corps. Delgado Medrano has wanted to be a pediatrician since high school, but during her sophomore year, she said, her father told her she might not be able to because of her immigration status. Delgado Medrano persisted, taking advanced placement classes and applying for DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had my whole life planned,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, just before she started at UC Davis, a federal judge blocked new applicants to the DACA program. Delgado Medrano applied for a campus job after being told they accepted AB 540 students like her. But after going through training, she said, she learned she wasn’t eligible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a very upsetting time,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As one of the 2022-2023 College Corps fellows, Delgado Medrano is now creating a program for sixth grade students in local schools. “Our mission is to encourage low-income students to go into college,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11928604\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11928604\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM-800x534.png\" alt=\"Several people wearing white t-shirts in an auditorium applaud.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM-800x534.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM-1536x1025.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-12-at-12.47.46-PM.png 1544w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">College Corps fellows applaud speakers during their swearing-in ceremony in Sacramento on Oct. 7, 2022. \u003ccite>(Rahul Lal/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Before California put in place policies to support undocumented students who wanted to attend college, students had to come up with creative ways to pay for their education, said Eric Yang, coordinator of UC Riverside’s Undocumented Student Programs.

That figure could be higher, as ICE fails to track the full use of segregation at its more than 200 detention centers across the country, according to a report by DHS’s Office of Inspector General. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11923753/ice-overusing-solitary-confinement-in-california-lawmakers-worry\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ICE has committed to implementing the watchdog agency’s recommendations\u003c/span>\u003c/a> to improve its supervision of solitary confinement by October 31.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The federal complaint by detainees at Mesa Verde and Golden State requests oversight agencies, including the recently created Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, to recommend disciplinary measures for staffers who undertook or approved the alleged retaliation.

Any alleged misconduct by GEO staff is promptly investigated and addressed,” the spokesperson said in a statement, adding that the company is required to follow ICE’s strict standards, including for the use of segregation. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“These baseless \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">allegations are being instigated \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">by politically motivated individuals and groups who use the media to promote their anti-detention agenda,” they said. “Their efforts are part of a long-standing radical campaign to attack ICE contractors, abolish ICE\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and end \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">federal immigration detention by pro\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">xy.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The GEO spokesperson has repeatedly denied that a labor strike is taking place at the facilities, arguing that the work program is voluntary and in compliance with ICE’s guidelines that detainees be compensated “at least” $1 per workday. \u003ca href=\"https://scholarlycommons.law.case.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4726&context=caselrev\">Congress can change the rate, but hasn’t done so since 1978.\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An ICE spokesperson did not comment directly on the complaint or the letter by lawmakers, but said the agency takes allegations of misconduct very seriously. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When a complaint is received, it is investigated thoroughly to determine veracity and ensure comprehensive standards, which ICE is required to follow, are strictly maintained, and enforced,” the spokesperson wrote in a statement. “ICE fully respects the rights of all people to voice their opinion without interference, including through peaceful assembly and protest.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">DHS did not immediately return a request for comment. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

On September 6, San José reached 109 degrees, while Santa Rosa topped 115 degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although some residents are able to work in air-conditioned offices or homes to avoid the worst of the heat, many essential workers — including construction workers, farm laborers and delivery people — have to remain outdoors, exposed to the most intense heat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, employers are legally required to provide all outdoor workers with four things to prevent heat-related illness: access to fresh water, shade, breaks and an emergency response plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But KQED has spoken to various outdoor workers who say that bringing up their rights with their employer isn’t so easy. For some, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11918317/blacklisted-for-speaking-up-how-california-farmworkers-fighting-abuses-are-vulnerable-to-retaliation\">the risk of losing their job for speaking up against an unsafe workplace is always present\u003c/a> while others are unsure whether they are eligible for these protections due to their contract or immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s despite \u003ca href=\"https://www.99calor.org/english.html\">rules established by the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board\u003c/a> (Cal/OSHA) that are meant to protect all outdoor employees in California, regardless of their immigration or employment status. But still, that doesn’t make some workers feel any more comfortable talking to their bosses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a real concern,” said David Hornung, Cal/OSHA’s heat and agriculture program coordinator: “workers not wanting to ask for their worker protections because of their concern of retaliation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re working outside during a heat wave and your employer isn’t providing you with the required protections, there are a number of things you can do, even if you don’t feel comfortable bringing things up directly with your supervisor.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"protections\">\u003c/a>What are the Cal/OSHA protections?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In July 2006, a major \u003ca href=\"https://oehha.ca.gov/epic/impacts-biological-systems/heat-related-mortality-and-morbidity\">heat wave in California resulted in at least 140 deaths\u003c/a> over two weeks, the highest fatality rate on record from a single heat event, prompting state regulators to strengthen protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='california-workers']“The employer must provide drinking water that is fresh, cool and free so that each worker has a sufficient amount to drink,” said Angela Yahaira Breining, a staff attorney with the Workers’ Rights program at Centro Legal de la Raza in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California defines a “sufficient” drinking supply as at least one quart of water per hour. And even if workers bring their own water bottles, employers must still have enough water available on site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When temperatures rise above 80 degrees, employers must also provide an area with enough shade to accommodate every worker on-site. But, Breining adds, workers also have the right to request breaks in the shade — regardless of temperature — whenever they feel the need to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when temperatures rise over 95 degrees, “employers or supervisors must observe these employees regularly,” Breining said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a supervisor on-site, she explains, is key to setting up a communication system that can swing into action if a worker starts to feel sick. “If someone is getting a headache, having them sit down, making sure that there is a safe way of communicating with higher-ups, and having an emergency plan in place,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Setting up an emergency plan is the next requirement for employers, says Hornung from Cal/OSHA. That includes “training for all the employees so they recognize the signs and symptoms of heat illness in themselves or in their co-workers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11886992\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11886992 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50584_007_SanFrancisco_HeatWaveImpacts_08062021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A man, face concealed by a tarp, sit surrounded by bundles of dried red beans, shelling them into a bucket in his lap.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50584_007_SanFrancisco_HeatWaveImpacts_08062021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50584_007_SanFrancisco_HeatWaveImpacts_08062021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50584_007_SanFrancisco_HeatWaveImpacts_08062021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50584_007_SanFrancisco_HeatWaveImpacts_08062021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS50584_007_SanFrancisco_HeatWaveImpacts_08062021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A vendor sitting in the back of a tarp-covered truck in San Francisco’s Mission District shells beans on Aug. 6, 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Whom do these heat protections apply to?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A misconception Hornung says he often hears is that Cal/OSHA rules only apply to certain industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It applies to all outdoor workers, not just agriculture,” he said. “It applies to construction workers, gardeners, landscapers, maintenance people and anyone driving around in trucks that don’t have air-conditioning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another common misconception, Hornung adds, is that the protections apply only to citizens or employees with valid immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11878134\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49883_GettyImages-1270893851-qut-1020x680.jpg\"]“California law for workplace safety is great because it protects all workers regardless of immigration status,” he said. “So whether you are here with the right papers or not, you are still protected by our regulations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for people who work informally, things are a bit trickier and often depend on the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hornung explains that Cal/OSHA first needs to verify that there is an “employee-employer relationship” — in other words, that the worker has provided labor in exchange for payment. This can include workers who lack a formal contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If an employee is paid by an employer, then that establishes an employer-employee relationship,” said Hornung.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the heat protections don’t apply to someone who is self-employed through an informal business, like fruit cart owners who sell their own produce.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"talk\">\u003c/a>If my boss is not following Cal/OSHA regulations, how should I bring it up?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Although it may be difficult for some workers to approach their supervisors, California labor laws prohibit employers from retaliating against workers who raise concerns about unsafe working conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unlawful for an employer to retaliate against this — speaking about a workplace right they are entitled to,” said Breining, the workers’ rights attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She recommends workers document in writing everything that’s going on, including keeping track of the dates and places that their bosses haven’t followed regulations. And she suggests workers also address their employers in writing, in the form of a text message, an email or a traditional letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Specifically say what it is that you are requesting,” she said. “Are you requesting for the employer to provide training, to see what the heat illness prevention plan is or to request these cooldown breaks?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documenting every time an employer does not follow heat regulations can be useful later on if a worker decides to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA, Breining says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Hornung suggests that workers who fear immediate retaliation first discuss the issue with their peers to build additional support. “So rather than you as an individual asking your boss, try to get your co-workers to ask as a group,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the fact that retaliation is illegal doesn’t prevent an employer from retaliating against workers who speak up against an unsafe workplace, says Cynthia Rice, director of litigation, advocacy and training at California Rural Legal Assistance, a group that provides free legal aid to agricultural workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We never say the employer can’t retaliate against you because of course the employer can retaliate against you,” she told KQED.

On September 6, San José reached 109 degrees, while Santa Rosa topped 115 degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although some residents are able to work in air-conditioned offices or homes to avoid the worst of the heat, many essential workers — including construction workers, farm laborers and delivery people — have to remain outdoors, exposed to the most intense heat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, employers are legally required to provide all outdoor workers with four things to prevent heat-related illness: access to fresh water, shade, breaks and an emergency response plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But KQED has spoken to various outdoor workers who say that bringing up their rights with their employer isn’t so easy. For some, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11918317/blacklisted-for-speaking-up-how-california-farmworkers-fighting-abuses-are-vulnerable-to-retaliation\">the risk of losing their job for speaking up against an unsafe workplace is always present\u003c/a> while others are unsure whether they are eligible for these protections due to their contract or immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s despite \u003ca href=\"https://www.99calor.org/english.html\">rules established by the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board\u003c/a> (Cal/OSHA) that are meant to protect all outdoor employees in California, regardless of their immigration or employment status. But still, that doesn’t make some workers feel any more comfortable talking to their bosses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a real concern,” said David Hornung, Cal/OSHA’s heat and agriculture program coordinator: “workers not wanting to ask for their worker protections because of their concern of retaliation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re working outside during a heat wave and your employer isn’t providing you with the required protections, there are a number of things you can do, even if you don’t feel comfortable bringing things up directly with your supervisor.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And even if workers bring their own water bottles, employers must still have enough water available on site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When temperatures rise above 80 degrees, employers must also provide an area with enough shade to accommodate every worker on-site. But, Breining adds, workers also have the right to request breaks in the shade — regardless of temperature — whenever they feel the need to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when temperatures rise over 95 degrees, “employers or supervisors must observe these employees regularly,” Breining said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a supervisor on-site, she explains, is key to setting up a communication system that can swing into action if a worker starts to feel sick. “If someone is getting a headache, having them sit down, making sure that there is a safe way of communicating with higher-ups, and having an emergency plan in place,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Setting up an emergency plan is the next requirement for employers, says Hornung from Cal/OSHA.

And she suggests workers also address their employers in writing, in the form of a text message, an email or a traditional letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Specifically say what it is that you are requesting,” she said. “Are you requesting for the employer to provide training, to see what the heat illness prevention plan is or to request these cooldown breaks?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documenting every time an employer does not follow heat regulations can be useful later on if a worker decides to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA, Breining says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Hornung suggests that workers who fear immediate retaliation first discuss the issue with their peers to build additional support. “So rather than you as an individual asking your boss, try to get your co-workers to ask as a group,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the fact that retaliation is illegal doesn’t prevent an employer from retaliating against workers who speak up against an unsafe workplace, says Cynthia Rice, director of litigation, advocacy and training at California Rural Legal Assistance, a group that provides free legal aid to agricultural workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We never say the employer can’t retaliate against you because of course the employer can retaliate against you,” she told KQED.
