"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.",

In 1911, a change in state law required that city candidates be non-partisan. Labor councils then endorsed candidates but didn't run them in elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the \u003ca href=\"http://www.aflcio.org/About/Our-History\">AFL\u003c/a> (the American Federation of Labor) was formed in 1886 as a nationwide, umbrella organization for unions,\" Cherny says, \"one of their guiding principles was 'stay out of politics.' The San Francisco unions, and the California unions more generally, never paid much attention to that, because they always saw politics as being crucial to the success of unions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at the 1901 strike, he goes on, “you can see why unions felt that it was very important to have a friendly administration in city hall. Or if not a friendly one, at least a neutral one, not one that was on the side of the employers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In June 2010, it announced it was cutting about 9,000 positions \"over a multiyear period to reinvest for future growth.\" Two years earlier, it disclosed a \"restructuring program\" to eliminate 24,600 employees over three years. And in 2005, it said it was cutting 14,500 workers over the next year and a half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a note to its clients this week, Deutsche Bank analysts said past layoffs \"have done little to improve HP's competitive position or reduce its reliance on declining or troubled businesses.\" And despite HP's assertion that the latest cuts will enable the company to reinvest in other key market areas, Deutsche Bank questioned that rationale because the company \"has been restructuring for the past decade...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another recent note, analysts at Bernstein Research concluded that HP could save $500 million for every 5,000 people laid off, but warned that their biggest concern based on the first quarter \"was HP's apparent lack of competitiveness, as the company grew slower than its rivals across all business units,\" including personal computers, servers, laser printers and tech services. While \"it is too early to write-off the company,\" they added, \"investors view HP as a 'broken' company.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
