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.",

Well, San Franciscans voted on it (ah, the irony!). In 2002, residents approved Proposition A, effectively amending the city’s charter. The RCV system’s actually been used in smaller San Francisco elections since 2004, but never for such a high-stakes contest. It used to be you just voted for one candidate, and if no one received over 50% of the votes, a December runoff election was held, and the winner was then determined by whoever got the most votes. RCV will now be used to elect all of the city’s major elected positions, including members of the Board of Supervisors. But with Election Day just a few weeks away there still seem to be a whole lot of voters out there unfamiliar – or just flat out confused – with how RCV works. So, here’s our best stab at explaining the rules of the game:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First off, a quick preview of what the new ballot looks like. A good mock-up is available at San Francisco’s Department of Election’s site. The basic format is fairly simple: Three side-by-side columns (first-choice, second-choice and third-choice). Each column includes the names of all 16 candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Round 1: An Even Starting Line\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFrom the pool of 16 candidates, you pick your first, second, and third choices. (Note: you don’t have to pick three; if you want, you can just pick your first-choice, or your first two choices, etc. It also doesn’t do you any good to repeatedly pick your first-choice three times – it’ll only be counted once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If any candidate gets more than 50 percent (50% +1) of first-choice votes, that candidate is automatically elected. Game over. But, if no one receives that majority, we go to the second round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So just for kicks (and because puppets are more fun than politicians), let’s pretend we’re observing a heated mayoral race on Sesame Street (Just ignore that streets don’t typically have mayors, or the fact that the candidates are made of felt and fur.). There are four candidates running, and a total of 24 voters casting ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cookie Monster (the clear frontrunner, of course, well loved for his oratorical gifts and promises of free pastries to every supporter) gets 10 first-place votes. Oscar the Grouch gets 8 first place votes (with strong support from the waste management industry and a large contingent of the generally disgruntled). Big Bird gets 4 first-place votes. And poor, impetuous Grover gets only 2 first-place votes. Since no one got more than 12 votes, there’s no clear majority, but we do have our first loser … so we move on to Round 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Round 2: The First Elimination\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nGrover, the candidate with the least amount of first-choice votes, is outta there! But (and here’s the part that seems to trip people up the most), for the two voters who picked Grover as a first-choice, their second-choice votes still count. Here’s how:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the voters who chose Grover picked Oscar as a second choice. So that vote goes to Oscar (who now has a total of 9 votes). The other voter in Grover’s small fan club picked Cookie Monster as a second choice. So, that vote goes to Cookie Monster (who now has 11 votes).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of Round 2, here’s the tally:\u003cbr>\nCookie Monster: 11 votes\u003cbr>\nOscar: 9 votes\u003cbr>\nBig Bird: 4 votes\u003cbr>\nStill no clear winner (because there still are three candidates standing), so onto Round 3 we go!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Round 3: The Deciding Moment\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThree candidates left, and Big Bird’s got the least amount of first-choice votes (only 4), so that oversized avian is done! Now, we look at the second-choice votes of those four voters who picked Big Bird as their first-choice. Remarkably, as it turns out, all four of Big Bird’s second-choice votes were for Oscar! That means that Oscar picks up four more votes, giving him (or it?) a final tally of 13 votes to Cookie Monster’s 11 votes. And thus, that grumpy, trash-dwelling green dude is the new boss in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O.K., so in the San Francisco mayoral election, things might not be quite that simple (and all the candidates are probably going to have noses). But, hopefully this example does illustrate how a candidate can viably receive the most first-choice votes and still lose the election. Because there are 16 candidates in the real race, that same elimination process keeps going until one candidate emerges with the most votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One key to understanding the RCV instant runoff process is remembering that the number of elimination rounds is determined by the number of candidates running. So, in the case of San Francisco’s mayoral race: there are 16 candidates, thus, 15 elimination rounds to determine a winner. In the Sesame Street scenario, there are a total of 4 candidates, requiring three elimination rounds to determine the winner. Just think of it as last man/woman/puppet standing.

That left Jean Quan in a distant second with only 24% of first-choice votes. But Quan – who anticipated this outcome and allied herself with other underdog candidates and their supporters – received far more second-choice votes than did Perata. And after all the elimination rounds, with second and third-choice votes factored in, Quan received 51% of the vote to Perata’s 49%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Critics\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSo is RCV a good thing? The jury’s still out. It really depends on who you ask. (Oakland’s Mayor Quan, I’m guessing would say yes; Don Perata … not so much. Oscar the Grouch though, is definitely a big fan.)\u003cbr>\nLike pretty much everything in politics, the system’s got its strong supporters and staunch enemies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the big arguments from supporters of RCV:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>It could save taxpayers millions by eliminating the need for local primaries and separate runoff elections.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It boosts electoral competition because candidates only have to raise money for one election per cycle, not two or three.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It gives underdog candidates a better chance and produces a winner that’s supported by a clear majority.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It discourages mudslinging and negative campaigning; candidates are now more likely to ally with each.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Opponents say:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>It’s too confusing for voters and unnecessarily adds to the complexity of an already complicated ballot.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>There is lots of room for technical error as election computers tally results through the use of a complicated algorithm.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It encourages less popular candidates to game the system by teaming up against the frontrunner. Is this is a fair or appropriate strategy? Depends who you ask.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It’s discriminatory to less educated or knowledgeable segments of the voting public who haven’t received sufficient instruction on how the system works.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Need a Visual Aid?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nKQED TV’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/thisweek/\">This Week\u003c/a> got a rundown straight from the San Francisco Department of Elections.

That left Jean Quan in a distant second with only 24% of first-choice votes. But Quan – who anticipated this outcome and allied herself with other underdog candidates and their supporters – received far more second-choice votes than did Perata. And after all the elimination rounds, with second and third-choice votes factored in, Quan received 51% of the vote to Perata’s 49%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Critics\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSo is RCV a good thing? The jury’s still out. It really depends on who you ask. (Oakland’s Mayor Quan, I’m guessing would say yes; Don Perata … not so much. Oscar the Grouch though, is definitely a big fan.)\u003cbr>\nLike pretty much everything in politics, the system’s got its strong supporters and staunch enemies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the big arguments from supporters of RCV:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>It could save taxpayers millions by eliminating the need for local primaries and separate runoff elections.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It boosts electoral competition because candidates only have to raise money for one election per cycle, not two or three.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It gives underdog candidates a better chance and produces a winner that’s supported by a clear majority.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It discourages mudslinging and negative campaigning; candidates are now more likely to ally with each.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Opponents say:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>It’s too confusing for voters and unnecessarily adds to the complexity of an already complicated ballot.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>There is lots of room for technical error as election computers tally results through the use of a complicated algorithm.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It encourages less popular candidates to game the system by teaming up against the frontrunner. Is this is a fair or appropriate strategy? Depends who you ask.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It’s discriminatory to less educated or knowledgeable segments of the voting public who haven’t received sufficient instruction on how the system works.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When I grew up, on one hand it was BB King and Miles Davis and John Lee Hooker. On the other hand it was Dolores Huerta, Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Gandhi, so I just thought both of those dimensions were one. To learn music to heal yourself, your family, and this planet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because this planet is sick with fear. We invest so much time and energy and money into the Pentagon, which is the place for fear. We made a difference with Vietnam, we were part of the Black Panthers, we were part of the hippie movement, questioning authority if it’s not enlightened by God. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And we’re still here, the people from Woodstock. We’re still here to ignite the youngest to say don’t be complacent and don’t be ho hum. Without brutality or being vulgar, make a difference. Go out and stop the war. War is not the answer.

My alma mater was the Fillmore. Hanging around with Bill Graham and all the other musicians. What I did learn from here was the principle of caring. Teachers had a lot of passion and were really present with the students. They looked you in the eye and everything else stopped, you mattered. That’s what I take from Mission High School, those teachers who taught me to be 150%, not 50 or 100. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You’ve given guitars to school, have been very generous. What did you hope to change here? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fear, brutality, genocide, suicide. Music is harmony and unity. When a person’s not in harmony with themselves, then they do harmful things. If we can change Mission High School, then we can work on Richmond and Oakland and the other schools. If we can integrate spiritual values, without using the word religion, then you would not see so much violence from police to brown people here in San Francisco. Because I’m very aware of the brutality that happens between the police and the people. Trigger happy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more you educate people, the more they have a sense of self worth, of value, the more they value other people’s rights, and the more they embrace and feel oneness with their heart and with their light. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do these kids remind you of yourself?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Absolutely. They’re the architects of tomorrow. It’ll change America to be what it’s supposed to be. America is a social experiment. Right now, we have a spiritual deprivation. We’re pretty good at arrogance. We’re number one at nothing. I don’t say it when I’m in another country but when I come home I can say it because it’s my house. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We need in schools not necessarily Buddha, Krishna, but we need spiritual values.

From the Chronicle today:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>San Francisco police appear to have called off an early morning raid of the Occupy SF encampment at Justin Herman Plaza. Police called in reserve units and gathered with batons and helmets near the plaza this morning only to disappear a few hours later. Protesters who have been camping on the plaza for the last few weeks say police gave them a written notice saying they were calling off the raid.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Today, as \u003ca href=\"http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/san_francisco&id=8407679\">KGO reports\u003c/a>, police said the gathering of police was merely a training excercise. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This morning, a police spokesman said this was a training exercise to practice crowd control and that there wasn’t a plan to clear out Justin Herman Plaza. While training, they were also ready to help out in Oakland if needed. Mayor Ed Lee’s spokesperson says he is still assessing the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mayor has asked his department heads to go through. It’s a balanced approach. He doesn’t want to overreact. He wants to make sure that city and staff are going through and making sure that anyone who is there, who needs certain services, or shelter, gets it,” said Mayor Ed Lee’s spokesperson Christine Falvey.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here’s what \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2011/10/27/city-supervisors-state-sen-lee-address-occupy-sf-protesters/\">law enforcement sources told Phil Matier\u003c/a> yesterday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Law enforcement sources at the highest level told CBS 5/KCBS/Chronicle insider Phil Mater that the San Francisco Police Department never intended to raid or clear out the encampment. Rather, the sources said police were put on standby because they wanted to be ready in case the recently-evicted Occupy Oakland protestors joined the crowd with Occupy SF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it was determined there would not be a large scale joining of protests at Justin Herman Plaza, all the mobilized SFPD officers were released. A source told CBS 5 that SFPD Chief Greg Suhr received a text message directly from Mayor Ed Lee telling him that police could “stand down.”\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The city basically confirmed this today. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The head of the SF Neighbor Alliance, Enrique Pearce, said the same thing. As did John Arntz, the head of the San Francisco Elections Department, referring to the situation as reported to date. But he also told the Chron, \"on its face, it doesn’t look good,” and said he had referred the case to San Francisco D.A. George Gascon for review. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Lee himself called what the volunteers were doing on his behalf \"moronic,\" and said it \"has nothing to do with my campaign...I'm almost suspicious some of the other candidates have put them up to it.\" (\u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/video/6378146-ed-lee-sf-mayoral-campaign-responds-to-voter-fraud-accusations/\">Watch that KCBS video here\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\nThe incident comes on top of other questionable efforts on behalf of Lee. Two weeks ago, Gascon announced his office had launched a criminal investigation into Lee campaign contributions by employees of Lorrie’s Airport Shuttle. As \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/10/07/BAIK1LEKM9.DTL\">reported in the Chron\u003c/a>, 17 employees had contributed $8,500... \n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>...about two weeks after the airport announced it was reversing a decision on van placement that the company had complained about, city records show. Airport Director John Martin and Lee's staff both maintain the mayor in no way intervened on behalf of the van operator, Go Lorrie's Airport Shuttle. \"It was strictly my decision,\" Martin said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Lee campaign returned the donations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's \"\u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/cityinsider/2011/10/11/all-about-that-strange-new-biography-of-mayor-ed-lee/\">The Ed Lee Story: An Unexpected Mayor\u003c/a>,\" a 132-page biography that you won't find on Amazon but may have seen on city streets, in front of people's homes, or in a recycling bin near you. The hagiographic work was written by the SF Neighbor Alliance's very own Enrique Pearce and cost $88,748.66 to publish, according to campaign finance reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether this latest contretemps will put a dent in \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Poll-Mayor-Ed-Lee-Dominates-Field-131983428.html\">Lee's formidable lead in the polls\u003c/a> or whether the only people taking note are journalists, bloggers, and the other candidates remains to be seen. The other mayoral hopefuls are certainly making a stink. Jeff Adachi, John Avalos, Michela Alioto-Pier, David Chiu, Dennis Herrera, Joanna Rees, and Leland Yee signed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/documents/candidates-letter-requesting-election/\">letter\u003c/a> sent to the U.S. Dept of Justice and the California Secretary of State requesting that federal and state election monitors be sent to observe the election, alleging the reported Chinatown operation \"target(s) Cantonese-speaking voters in San Francisco, and may potentially impinge on their federally protected voting rights, and also violate provisions of the California Elections Code and other laws.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we may potentially need election monitors to ensure that nothing illegal is happening,\" candidate David Chiu told KQED's Peter Jon Shuler today. \"I certainly agree with Mayor Lee and his campaign that these activities need to stop. I also agree with the director of the San Francisco Department of Elections, who believes that city and criminal authorities need to investigate this as thoroughly as possible. We need to ensure a fair and clean election, we need to protect the integrity of the ballot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analyst Cory Cooke said there is still time for a scandal to impact the race. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We found in our survey, and others have as well, that a good segment of the population remains undecided about their first choice and certainly about their remaining choices using ranked-choice balloting. While most indications are that Lee's the front runner in the race, a lot of people are just now tuning into the election. About half of voters vote on election day and many haven't begun looking at their absentee ballots yet. And there is more or less a steady drumbeat of allegations now, though to be fair most of these are targeting the independent committee and not Lee's actual campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook sees a larger story here, too:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To me this system we've created of independent committees that speak for candidates but not on behalf of candidates is beyond bizarre.

The head of the SF Neighbor Alliance, Enrique Pearce, said the same thing. As did John Arntz, the head of the San Francisco Elections Department, referring to the situation as reported to date. But he also told the Chron, \"on its face, it doesn’t look good,” and said he had referred the case to San Francisco D.A. George Gascon for review. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Lee himself called what the volunteers were doing on his behalf \"moronic,\" and said it \"has nothing to do with my campaign...I'm almost suspicious some of the other candidates have put them up to it.\" (\u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/video/6378146-ed-lee-sf-mayoral-campaign-responds-to-voter-fraud-accusations/\">Watch that KCBS video here\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\nThe incident comes on top of other questionable efforts on behalf of Lee. Two weeks ago, Gascon announced his office had launched a criminal investigation into Lee campaign contributions by employees of Lorrie’s Airport Shuttle. As \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/10/07/BAIK1LEKM9.DTL\">reported in the Chron\u003c/a>, 17 employees had contributed $8,500... \n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>...about two weeks after the airport announced it was reversing a decision on van placement that the company had complained about, city records show. Airport Director John Martin and Lee's staff both maintain the mayor in no way intervened on behalf of the van operator, Go Lorrie's Airport Shuttle. \"It was strictly my decision,\" Martin said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Lee campaign returned the donations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's \"\u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/cityinsider/2011/10/11/all-about-that-strange-new-biography-of-mayor-ed-lee/\">The Ed Lee Story: An Unexpected Mayor\u003c/a>,\" a 132-page biography that you won't find on Amazon but may have seen on city streets, in front of people's homes, or in a recycling bin near you. The hagiographic work was written by the SF Neighbor Alliance's very own Enrique Pearce and cost $88,748.66 to publish, according to campaign finance reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether this latest contretemps will put a dent in \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Poll-Mayor-Ed-Lee-Dominates-Field-131983428.html\">Lee's formidable lead in the polls\u003c/a> or whether the only people taking note are journalists, bloggers, and the other candidates remains to be seen. The other mayoral hopefuls are certainly making a stink. Jeff Adachi, John Avalos, Michela Alioto-Pier, David Chiu, Dennis Herrera, Joanna Rees, and Leland Yee signed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/documents/candidates-letter-requesting-election/\">letter\u003c/a> sent to the U.S. Dept of Justice and the California Secretary of State requesting that federal and state election monitors be sent to observe the election, alleging the reported Chinatown operation \"target(s) Cantonese-speaking voters in San Francisco, and may potentially impinge on their federally protected voting rights, and also violate provisions of the California Elections Code and other laws.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we may potentially need election monitors to ensure that nothing illegal is happening,\" candidate David Chiu told KQED's Peter Jon Shuler today. \"I certainly agree with Mayor Lee and his campaign that these activities need to stop. I also agree with the director of the San Francisco Department of Elections, who believes that city and criminal authorities need to investigate this as thoroughly as possible. We need to ensure a fair and clean election, we need to protect the integrity of the ballot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analyst Cory Cooke said there is still time for a scandal to impact the race. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We found in our survey, and others have as well, that a good segment of the population remains undecided about their first choice and certainly about their remaining choices using ranked-choice balloting. While most indications are that Lee's the front runner in the race, a lot of people are just now tuning into the election. About half of voters vote on election day and many haven't begun looking at their absentee ballots yet. And there is more or less a steady drumbeat of allegations now, though to be fair most of these are targeting the independent committee and not Lee's actual campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook sees a larger story here, too:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It might seem like every month is Restaurant Appreciation Month around here, but last year, the Board of Supervisors chose October in particular as an occasion to commend food establishments that have contributed to their communities in significant ways. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s honorees are scheduled to be announced at the Supes’ regular meeting on Tuesday, Oct 25. But we got a preview last Friday when Supervisor David Campos stopped by \u003ca href=\"http://missionpie.com/\">Mission Pie\u003c/a>, on Mission at 25th Street, with a commendation for exemplary labor practices. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People come to San Francisco to enjoy the amazing food,” said Campos. “The gastronomic experience is an important part of the appeal of this city. There are places like Mission Pie that are successful in providing delicious food, and at the same time treating their employees really well. There are some restaurants, in the minority, that don’t do right by their employees, but I think it’s important for us as we combat those practices to recognize those restaurants that are doing things right, not only complying with the law but going beyond it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bakery-café also gets high marks in a pamphlet called “\u003ca href=\"http://www.youngworkersunited.org/section.php?id=76\">Dining With Justice\u003c/a>,” from Young Workers United, whose members interviewed restaurant workers from 35 eateries in San Francisco. Their criteria included fair wage and hour treatment, opportunities for promotion, job satisfaction, concern for worker health and safety, and job security. Eleven other restaurants also made the grade, ranging from El Castillio Taqueria in the Mission to Poesia in the Castro. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mission Pie, in addition to their regular staff, runs an internship program in cooperation with community-based nonprofits that serve at-risk teens. Co-owner Krystin Rubin has been working in kitchens since she was 13, and wanted to help a new generation of aspiring cooks, bakers, and servers start out on the right track. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most young people’s first job is a food job, and that job is usually not so great, even degrading,” Rubin said, “and it’s dangerous for all of these young people to have their primary work experience be negative. Your bosses don’t trust you, you’re taken advantage of, very little achievement is expected of you, but you’re expected to fail and cheat and be dishonest.” Rubin says four of their current staff started out as interns, and that the bakery has significantly lower turnover than the industry average, which saves money on training. She hopes more Bay Area food businesses will start paying the same amount of attention to the well-being of their workforce as they do to the sourcing of their ingredients. \u003c/p>\n\n",

It might seem like every month is Restaurant Appreciation Month around here, but last year, the Board of Supervisors chose October in particular as an occasion to commend food establishments that have contributed to their communities in significant ways. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s honorees are scheduled to be announced at the Supes’ regular meeting on Tuesday, Oct 25. But we got a preview last Friday when Supervisor David Campos stopped by \u003ca href=\"http://missionpie.com/\">Mission Pie\u003c/a>, on Mission at 25th Street, with a commendation for exemplary labor practices. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People come to San Francisco to enjoy the amazing food,” said Campos. “The gastronomic experience is an important part of the appeal of this city. There are places like Mission Pie that are successful in providing delicious food, and at the same time treating their employees really well. There are some restaurants, in the minority, that don’t do right by their employees, but I think it’s important for us as we combat those practices to recognize those restaurants that are doing things right, not only complying with the law but going beyond it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bakery-café also gets high marks in a pamphlet called “\u003ca href=\"http://www.youngworkersunited.org/section.php?id=76\">Dining With Justice\u003c/a>,” from Young Workers United, whose members interviewed restaurant workers from 35 eateries in San Francisco. Their criteria included fair wage and hour treatment, opportunities for promotion, job satisfaction, concern for worker health and safety, and job security. Eleven other restaurants also made the grade, ranging from El Castillio Taqueria in the Mission to Poesia in the Castro. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mission Pie, in addition to their regular staff, runs an internship program in cooperation with community-based nonprofits that serve at-risk teens. Co-owner Krystin Rubin has been working in kitchens since she was 13, and wanted to help a new generation of aspiring cooks, bakers, and servers start out on the right track. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Your bosses don’t trust you, you’re taken advantage of, very little achievement is expected of you, but you’re expected to fail and cheat and be dishonest.” Rubin says four of their current staff started out as interns, and that the bakery has significantly lower turnover than the industry average, which saves money on training. She hopes more Bay Area food businesses will start paying the same amount of attention to the well-being of their workforce as they do to the sourcing of their ingredients. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
