It is truly fitting that when San Franciscans visit the library, they will be greeted by Dr. Angelou.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure comes as San Francisco and other cities rethink which historical figures should be memorialized on government owned property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, city officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13840748/early-days-statue-in-sf-deemed-racist-will-be-removed-following-re-vote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">removed the \"Early Days\" monument\u003c/a> at Civic Center Plaza, which depicts a vaquero and a missionary looming over a Native American, a statue deemed racist by activists, cultural organizations and many elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sponsors of the ordinance which passed on Tuesday — supervisors Catherine Stefani, Hillary Ronen, Jane Kim and Vallie Brown — note that of the 585 permanently sited works in the Arts Commission's civic art collection, 87 are sculptural monuments and memorials, and only two of those depict nonfictional women: a statue of Sen. Dianne Feinstein inside City Hall, and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.artandarchitecture-sf.com/florence-nightingale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statue of Florence Nightingale\u003c/a> outside Laguna Honda Hospital, which was completed in 1937 as part of a federal artists program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stefani said the measure is an important step toward turning the tide against the lack of women represented in so many facets of U.S. society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In San Francisco and across our nation, women are under-represented not only in leadership positions but also in public spaces,\" she said. \"The accomplishments of great women deserve to be recognized along with the accomplishments of great men.

And this law is a step forward to accomplishing this goal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is that saying, 'if you can't see it, you can't be it,'\" Stefani said. \"If young women don't see women represented broadly across different leadership roles, it becomes more difficult to fully realize they can be anything they want to be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Catherine Wagner, a Bay Area artist who has created public art projects around the world and whose latest local piece is scheduled to be unveiled in the South of Market neighborhood next year, said it’s about time San Francisco gave women greater representation. But she’s puzzled as to why the city decided to do it at 30 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not that I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I'm wondering why wasn’t it 50?\" she asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stefani said the selection of the 30 percent number had to do with critical mass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People have asked why not 50 percent? Well at 30 percent representation, we really do start to see a shift,\" Stefani said. \"Research suggests that 30 percent is the proportion when critical mass is actually reached in a group setting. The voices of the minority group become heard in their own right rather than simply representing the minority.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting a \"void\" of public representations of female role models, the ordinance explicitly aims to combat a \"silent message of women's insignificance\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Throughout society, the failure to honor accomplished women through statues, monuments, memorials, and plaques on public display, in San Francisco and elsewhere, leaves a harmful void in our public spaces. Instead of there being on display plentiful historical role models for everyone to see, celebrate, honor, and emulate, there is a different, disturbing message conveyed by this void. It silently communicates a message of women's insignificance in government and politics, commerce, labor, arts, sciences, and the professions, among other human endeavors, and thus reinforces the antiquated stereotype of women not serving in positions of leadership or otherwise making notable historical accomplishments — a stereotype at odds with reality and with the City's commitment to equal opportunity for all.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tuesday's Board of Supervisors vote comes just two days after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11695609/california-to-become-first-state-to-require-companies-include-women-on-corporate-boards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gov.

Dianne Feinstein inside City Hall, and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.artandarchitecture-sf.com/florence-nightingale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statue of Florence Nightingale\u003c/a> outside Laguna Honda Hospital, which was completed in 1937 as part of a federal artists program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stefani said the measure is an important step toward turning the tide against the lack of women represented in so many facets of U.S. society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In San Francisco and across our nation, women are under-represented not only in leadership positions but also in public spaces,\" she said. \"The accomplishments of great women deserve to be recognized along with the accomplishments of great men. All children deserve role models they can relate to. And this law is a step forward to accomplishing this goal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is that saying, 'if you can't see it, you can't be it,'\" Stefani said. \"If young women don't see women represented broadly across different leadership roles, it becomes more difficult to fully realize they can be anything they want to be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Catherine Wagner, a Bay Area artist who has created public art projects around the world and whose latest local piece is scheduled to be unveiled in the South of Market neighborhood next year, said it’s about time San Francisco gave women greater representation. But she’s puzzled as to why the city decided to do it at 30 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not that I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I'm wondering why wasn’t it 50?\" she asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stefani said the selection of the 30 percent number had to do with critical mass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People have asked why not 50 percent? Well at 30 percent representation, we really do start to see a shift,\" Stefani said. \"Research suggests that 30 percent is the proportion when critical mass is actually reached in a group setting. The voices of the minority group become heard in their own right rather than simply representing the minority.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting a \"void\" of public representations of female role models, the ordinance explicitly aims to combat a \"silent message of women's insignificance\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Throughout society, the failure to honor accomplished women through statues, monuments, memorials, and plaques on public display, in San Francisco and elsewhere, leaves a harmful void in our public spaces. Instead of there being on display plentiful historical role models for everyone to see, celebrate, honor, and emulate, there is a different, disturbing message conveyed by this void. It silently communicates a message of women's insignificance in government and politics, commerce, labor, arts, sciences, and the professions, among other human endeavors, and thus reinforces the antiquated stereotype of women not serving in positions of leadership or otherwise making notable historical accomplishments — a stereotype at odds with reality and with the City's commitment to equal opportunity for all.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tuesday's Board of Supervisors vote comes just two days after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11695609/california-to-become-first-state-to-require-companies-include-women-on-corporate-boards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation to\u003c/a> force publicly held companies based in California to have at least one woman on their boards of directors by the end of next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance will also create a fund that would accept gifts to pay for the design and construction of new works of art, as well as the repair, maintenance and improvement of public art depicting historically significant women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Most people would prefer to have high-quality schools nearby, making travel across the city unnecessary, but many don’t believe that’s a reality yet. Haney says admitting that the current system isn’t working would be the first step toward a more equitable system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first got on the board I thought, hey, let’s give this a chance. I like the goals. I think what we’re trying to achieve here is the right thing,” Haney said. “But meeting after meeting after meeting of sitting on the Student Assignment Committee, and talking to families, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not working, and that an all-choice all-lottery-based system is not the best way to achieve desegregation, is not the best way to achieve diverse learning environments, and is incredibly burdensome for families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the resolution is introduced on Sept. 25 it will be referred to the full board for discussion and eventually a vote.

The agency says it also believes the contractor improperly reinstalled parts of the train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contractor, Shimmick Construction, denies responsibility for the issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SFMTA has promised \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/projects/twin-peaks-tunnel-improvements-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the $40 million project\u003c/a> would lead to improved service on the K-Ingleside, L-Taraval and M-Ocean View light-rail lines, all of which use the tunnel to get from the Castro to the west side of Twin Peaks. The project, which closed the tunnel for two months, included installing new rails and track ballast (the gravel bed on which rails usually sit) and seismic retrofits to the century-old tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni began advising riders two days after the tunnel reopened on Aug. 25 that some trains were being delayed by “signal issues” at West Portal — the western entrance to the 2-mile bore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on a review of Muni advisories on Twitter, those issues eased after a few days. But daily delays described as “system issues” or “signal issues” began again on Monday, causing major backups in K, L and M service heading toward downtown San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Haley, the SFMTA’s director of transit, said Wednesday the problems were due to missteps by Shimmick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said in an interview that both series of problems involved Muni Metro’s automatic train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Muni’s light-rail vehicles enter the system’s tunnels, including the Twin Peaks Tunnel, they transition from operator control to the automatic system. The train control system includes trackside equipment that identifies each vehicle as it arrives by counting the number of axles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that identification is made as intended — Haley said the process involves a “handshake” between computerized equipment at trackside and aboard each light-rail vehicle — the train is put on automatic control. In the case of the refurbished Twin Peaks Tunnel, the train is cleared to travel to the next station, Forest Hill, at a speed of 50 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said that immediately after the tunnel reopened last month, the automatic train control system was not executing the “handshake” at West Portal. The system’s response is to slow the trains to a crawl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said that the problem, which he described as intermittent but disruptive, involved improperly reinstalled components for the train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could mean the components were relocated in the wrong place, they were buried under track or ballast that was put back down, that kind of thing,” Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that SFMTA employees have found that by reducing the automatically set speeds for a 1,000-foot section of eastbound track at West Portal, trains are able to proceed through the area without stopping. Once past the affected section of track, trains are able to resume their normal speed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said the second issue was more serious and grew out of previously scheduled construction last Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shimmick crews brought heavy equipment into the tunnel through the West Portal entrance, he said, and in the process damaged the train control system’s trackside components.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They had all sorts of heavy equipment vehicles going in, and they damaged the equipment alongside the trackway,” Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the components damaged was the system that counts vehicle axles. Haley said the result is that the system “stops the train and says, ‘Wait a minute, you’re not going any further until we figure out who you are.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damage was extensive enough that it has prevented Muni from issuing remote commands to clear the problem from its operations control center. Instead, two Muni workers have been stationed at West Portal, Haley said, and are trying to manually correct problems with the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley added that the damage has caused a ripple effect throughout the Muni Metro system, as it forces downtown-bound trains to slow to 25 mph for the entire length of the Twin Peaks Tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Muni crews have replaced much of the damaged equipment at trackside and are working with the train control system’s manufacturer on a fix that could be in place later Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said the SFMTA has discussed the problems with Shimmick Construction, but declined to characterize the conversations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a representative for Shimmick said the company is not to blame for the train control problems and denied its equipment caused any damage last weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have reached out to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to offer our continued post-construction support,” Chapin Fay, a Shimmick spokesperson, said in an emailed statement. “The automatic train control system work on the project was not under our purview and we are not aware of any damage that was done this weekend by our equipment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supervisor that represents the area of the West Portal station expressed outrage on Thursday after learning about the subway problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These delays are unacceptable,” said Supervisor Norman Yee in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I urge the SFMTA to work with the contractors to resolve these issues as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new West Portal problems come just weeks after Mayor London Breed put SFMTA chief Ed Reiskin on notice she expects quick action to resolve the transit agency’s service issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked how much the West Portal issues might cost, Haley said, “Well, I can tell you the biggest concern I have for the cost is the public inconvenience and the impact on service. … I’m less concerned about the dollar value than the loss of confidence that our riders have.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>In the last two years, Candida Kevorkian says she has gone to the emergency room three times from the stress of her job at San Francisco's Westin St. Francis Hotel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she is run ragged doing the work of two people. And she says she's not paid enough to stay in her South San Francisco home without help from her son and his family, who moved in to share her ever-rising rent payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevorkian is the p.m. housekeeping supervisor at the St. Francis, a luxury hotel owned by Marriott, and one of 7,800 unionized hospitality workers voting this week on whether to authorize a strike against the big hotel chain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With their contracts expired and negotiations ongoing, the Unite Here union workers will hold authorization votes in San Francisco, Boston, Honolulu and Maui.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No matter what, “We will fight until we get a fair contract signed,” says Kevorkian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Echoing the union's slogan for its Marriott campaign, she adds: “One job should be enough to pay the bills, to put food on the table, to pay the rent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, the nearly 2,300 housekeepers, dishwashers, servers, bartenders, cooks and bellmen at seven Marriott-owned hotels -- the St. Francis, the W, the Marriott Union Square, the Palace, the Marriott Marquis, the Courtyard San Francisco Downtown and the St. Regis -- will take part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a union versus industry issue,” says Anand Singh, president of San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.unitehere2.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unite Here Local 2\u003c/a>. “It’s about the workers who make up the fabric of this city standing up and fighting for what they deserve. What they’re asking for is their fair share.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s 25 million annual visitors contribute well over \u003ca href=\"https://sftravel.ent.box.com/s/3oq7bqy1vj6j32catxluhl4ltagydnmx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$9 billion\u003c/a> to the economy, the San Francisco Travel Association says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Unite Here, Local 2 workers are working at Marriott-operated hotels representing 15 percent of San Francisco’s 33,000 hotel rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The company hasn’t taken us seriously enough yet,” says Singh. ”It’s unconscionable that the workers that make the industry tick would struggle to make ends meet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median income of a Local 2 housekeeper is $44,000, says Unite Here. That's low in a region where the federal government recently said a family of four earning as much as $117,400 could be \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/elist/2018-apr_10.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">classified\u003c/a> as \"low-income.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marriott International said in a statement last week that it has conducted good faith negotiations with the union and that it is still \"hopeful that we will reach an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement without any strike activity.\" The company said the hotels will continue to operate even in the event of a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last major hotel strike in San Francisco took place in September 2004. Back then, Unite Here leaders called for a two-week strike at four hotels. In response, management at those hotels and 10 other unionized hotels locked workers out in a standoff that lasted two months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two sides eventually agreed on a contract in 2006. It granted workers higher wages, better pensions and full health care benefits, according to Unite Here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevorkian says a major issue is her team's workload. She manages as many as seven housekeepers, who together clean more than 100 rooms a night.

What they’re asking for is their fair share.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s 25 million annual visitors contribute well over \u003ca href=\"https://sftravel.ent.box.com/s/3oq7bqy1vj6j32catxluhl4ltagydnmx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$9 billion\u003c/a> to the economy, the San Francisco Travel Association says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Unite Here, Local 2 workers are working at Marriott-operated hotels representing 15 percent of San Francisco’s 33,000 hotel rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The company hasn’t taken us seriously enough yet,” says Singh. ”It’s unconscionable that the workers that make the industry tick would struggle to make ends meet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median income of a Local 2 housekeeper is $44,000, says Unite Here. That's low in a region where the federal government recently said a family of four earning as much as $117,400 could be \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/elist/2018-apr_10.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">classified\u003c/a> as \"low-income.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marriott International said in a statement last week that it has conducted good faith negotiations with the union and that it is still \"hopeful that we will reach an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement without any strike activity.\" The company said the hotels will continue to operate even in the event of a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last major hotel strike in San Francisco took place in September 2004. Back then, Unite Here leaders called for a two-week strike at four hotels. In response, management at those hotels and 10 other unionized hotels locked workers out in a standoff that lasted two months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two sides eventually agreed on a contract in 2006. It granted workers higher wages, better pensions and full health care benefits, according to Unite Here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevorkian says a major issue is her team's workload. She manages as many as seven housekeepers, who together clean more than 100 rooms a night. That's too many rooms for too few workers in too short a time, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like they’re testing how far they can go,” says Kevorkian. “I’ve worked as a manager for 11 years, and I’ve never seen that craziness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help cope with the stress, Kevorkian says, she takes an anxiety medication her doctors prescribed to get through her workday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My doctor told me to quit my job, but it’s not so easy,” she said. “I’m the backbone of my house.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
