This week, the federal government announced it had reached a $120 million deal with one of the companies, Golden State Wind, to abandon its lease in favor of fossil fuel projects. The company will get the money if it invests $120 million in oil, gas, or liquefied natural gas projects on the Gulf Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move is seen by some members of Congress and the environmental community as an effort to push the Trump Administration’s preference for fossil fuels. “I think that’s part of the problem. They haven’t justified their action,” said Colvin. “They’re taking a personal preference and making it policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the offshore wind power plans for the Central Coast are far from dead. Three leases were sold. While Golden State agreed to end its lease, two other companies still have active leases. The federal government isn’t supportive of offshore wind power now, but it will be about four years before physical construction gets underway. Colvin said a new administration could be more receptive to wind energy. “The amount of work that needs to be done pre-development is a long lead time, and the projects are going to take longer to develop than this current administration, and they will last far longer than this current administration,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Peach growers get reprieve from federal government \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Peach growers in the Yuba-Sutter region and Central Valley are being thrown a lifeline from Washington, D.C.

This week, the federal government announced it had reached a $120 million deal with one of the companies, Golden State Wind, to abandon its lease in favor of fossil fuel projects. The company will get the money if it invests $120 million in oil, gas, or liquefied natural gas projects on the Gulf Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move is seen by some members of Congress and the environmental community as an effort to push the Trump Administration’s preference for fossil fuels. “I think that’s part of the problem.

While Golden State agreed to end its lease, two other companies still have active leases. The federal government isn’t supportive of offshore wind power now, but it will be about four years before physical construction gets underway. Colvin said a new administration could be more receptive to wind energy. “The amount of work that needs to be done pre-development is a long lead time, and the projects are going to take longer to develop than this current administration, and they will last far longer than this current administration,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Peach growers get reprieve from federal government \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Peach growers in the Yuba-Sutter region and Central Valley are being thrown a lifeline from Washington, D.C.

The event will be led by SFO’s passenger service workers, who are preparing for a Board of Supervisors hearing next week over low wages. SFO was also the site of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12077292/is-ice-at-sfo-heres-what-we-know-about-videos-of-woman-being-forcefully-detained\">high-profile altercation with ICE\u003c/a> last month, where agents forcefully detained a woman and her young child.

Along the way, the group will make three stops, outside the federal building at 7th Street and Mission, another at 4th Street and Mission, and the final outside of Salesforce, where they’ll be joined by a coalition of tech workers, according to Valencia. Among the May Day Coalition’s demands are to prioritize workers over the ultra-rich, and in California, a ballot measure that would impose a one-time, 5% tax on the assets of California’s roughly 200 billionaires qualified for the November ballot this week.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It resulted in a huge concentration of wealth and a rapidly growing gap between capital — broadly defined as stockholders, executives and managers who controlled the means of production — and the wage-earning labor force who worked the production lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Industrial capitalism yielded larger workplaces, greater use of technology, and a division of the manufacturing process that required less skill and training (sound familiar?).

And with that, came a growing level of discontent, particularly among new waves of European immigrants who poured into cities in search of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When work was available, it was often far from desirable. In the absence of strong federal work laws, immigrant laborers commonly worked excessively long hours in wretched, dangerous conditions, typically for meager wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, a convention of the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions called for a national strike on May 1, 1886. The primary demand: an eight-hour workday.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #000000\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The convention declared:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Eight hours shall constitute a legal day's labour from and after May 1, 1886, and that we recommend to labour organizations throughout this jurisdiction that they so direct their laws as to conform to this resolution by the time named.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of thousands of workers in cities across the country participated in the strike, including roughly 80,000 in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago's population was booming. Fueled by an influx of German immigrants, the city's population grew from about 300,000 in 1870 to 1.7 million in 1900. The growing workforce also turned it into a hotbed of radical labor activism.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-weight: bold\">\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: bold\">Haymarket Affair\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Two days after the demonstrations, police and strikers clashed outside Chicago’s McCormick Reaper Works, leaving two workers dead. In response, a group of anarchist labor leaders organized a rally for the following evening in Chicago’s Haymarket Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event attracted a large crowd, and proceeded peacefully until police arrived and ordered the remaining workers to disperse. As the officers advanced on the crowd, a homemade bomb was thrown, and in the melee that ensued, seven policeman were killed (mostly a result of friendly fire, according to historical reports).

And with that, came a growing level of discontent, particularly among new waves of European immigrants who poured into cities in search of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When work was available, it was often far from desirable. In the absence of strong federal work laws, immigrant laborers commonly worked excessively long hours in wretched, dangerous conditions, typically for meager wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, a convention of the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions called for a national strike on May 1, 1886. The primary demand: an eight-hour workday.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #000000\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The convention declared:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Eight hours shall constitute a legal day's labour from and after May 1, 1886, and that we recommend to labour organizations throughout this jurisdiction that they so direct their laws as to conform to this resolution by the time named.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of thousands of workers in cities across the country participated in the strike, including roughly 80,000 in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago's population was booming. Fueled by an influx of German immigrants, the city's population grew from about 300,000 in 1870 to 1.7 million in 1900. The growing workforce also turned it into a hotbed of radical labor activism.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-weight: bold\">\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: bold\">Haymarket Affair\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Two days after the demonstrations, police and strikers clashed outside Chicago’s McCormick Reaper Works, leaving two workers dead. In response, a group of anarchist labor leaders organized a rally for the following evening in Chicago’s Haymarket Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event attracted a large crowd, and proceeded peacefully until police arrived and ordered the remaining workers to disperse. As the officers advanced on the crowd, a homemade bomb was thrown, and in the melee that ensued, seven policeman were killed (mostly a result of friendly fire, according to historical reports). Police fired on the crowd, killing at least four demonstrators and injuring scores more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1836\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 189px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/378px-HaymarketMartyrs.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-1836\" title=\"378px-HaymarketMartyrs\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/378px-HaymarketMartyrs-300x475.jpg\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The seven anarchists initially sentenced to death for the murder of a police officer during the Haymarket incident (Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A number of subsequent organizing efforts were violently suppressed by authorities.

Four were hanged, one committed suicide, and three were pardoned six years later by the governor of Illinois.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The real bomber, however, was never identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the Haymarket Affair, as the incident became known, marked a temporary setback for the labor movement, it also spurred a fresh wave of activism around the world, particularly among younger workers.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 5:25 p.m.:\u003c/strong> San Francisco's big May Day march is well under way. The San Francisco Chronicle's \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sfkale\" target=\"_blank\">Kale Williams\u003c/a> says the march -- which began at City Hall and has been heading up Mission Street -- is several blocks long. The destination: 24th and Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 2:10 p.m.:\u003c/strong> The rally/march/rally featuring Port of Oakland workers and community members protesting police violence is continuing at Oakland City Hall early Friday afternoon. There's a crowd of at least a couple hundred people at Frank Ogawa/Oscar Grant Plaza -- that's an estimate from watching \u003ca href=\"http://www.ustream.tv/channel/truthcasterstv?utm_campaign=JPER&utm_medium=FlashPlayer&utm_source=embed\" target=\"_blank\">a live stream\u003c/a> of the event. The crowd is hearing from speakers, including Occupy Oakland activist Boots Riley and Jeralynn Blueford, mother of Alan Blueford, a teenager shot and killed by Oakland police in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Hall gathering was preceded by a rally outside the Matson shipping company's gates at the Port of Oakland. That demonstration, organized by International Longshore and Warehouse Union members who stayed off the job Friday morning, was followed by a march through West Oakland to City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Policemen are not doing what they were hired to do,\" Janis Smith, a member of ILWU Local 10, told KQED's Devin Katayama. \"They’re going overboard. They’re just killing, killing, killing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union member Stacey Rodgers says the longshore workers have a long history of protesting in support of social justice issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I’m not a union member, not at work I’m still a community member,\" Rodgers said. \"And this effects all of us in the community.

The San Francisco Chronicle's \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sfkale\" target=\"_blank\">Kale Williams\u003c/a> says the march -- which began at City Hall and has been heading up Mission Street -- is several blocks long. The destination: 24th and Mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 2:10 p.m.:\u003c/strong> The rally/march/rally featuring Port of Oakland workers and community members protesting police violence is continuing at Oakland City Hall early Friday afternoon. There's a crowd of at least a couple hundred people at Frank Ogawa/Oscar Grant Plaza -- that's an estimate from watching \u003ca href=\"http://www.ustream.tv/channel/truthcasterstv?utm_campaign=JPER&utm_medium=FlashPlayer&utm_source=embed\" target=\"_blank\">a live stream\u003c/a> of the event. The crowd is hearing from speakers, including Occupy Oakland activist Boots Riley and Jeralynn Blueford, mother of Alan Blueford, a teenager shot and killed by Oakland police in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Hall gathering was preceded by a rally outside the Matson shipping company's gates at the Port of Oakland. That demonstration, organized by International Longshore and Warehouse Union members who stayed off the job Friday morning, was followed by a march through West Oakland to City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Policemen are not doing what they were hired to do,\" Janis Smith, a member of ILWU Local 10, told KQED's Devin Katayama. \"They’re going overboard. They’re just killing, killing, killing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union member Stacey Rodgers says the longshore workers have a long history of protesting in support of social justice issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
