Cal State student workers get OK to move forward with union vote

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:45:11 GMT

By Helena San Roque | CalMattersCalifornia State University student workers are one step closer to unionizing after announcing Wednesday, Oct. 4 that the California Public Employment Relations Board has deemed there is enough student support to trigger a union vote.After vetting thousands of union cards submitted by student assistants, the board notified the CSU Employees Union on Sept. 27 that they met the threshold following a wave of organizing this past year. Over 19,300 student assistants will soon vote on forming one of the largest student worker unions in U.S. history. Their ranks would more than double the size of the employees’ union, which already represents 16,000 support staff across the 23 campuses.Student assistants work at front desks and in back offices in many capacities throughout the campuses, such as information technology, financial aid, and facilities management. Both undergraduate and graduate students can hold these positions.Student assistants say unionizing...

What to do if you and your pet cross paths with a coyote

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:45:11 GMT

You’re walking your dog early in the morning, as usual. But as you amble up the sidewalk, you spot a furry brown shape up ahead. You tighten the leash, worried about an aggressive stray dog. Then you get a closer look.It’s a coyote.If you spend any time on social media, whether it’s your neighborhood’s Facebook page or NextDoor.com, it seems like coyote sightings have increased exponentially in the last few years. Not only that, but the canids, many claim, are multiplying by the day, and some areas are being overrun, threatening public safety.But is that really the case?“No,” says Seth Riley, chief wildlife ecologist for the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, which is part of the National Park Service. “I’ve been hearing that exact same thing over 23 years.”Riley’s NPS colleague, Jeffrey Brown, who also is a wildlife ecologist and has been studying coyotes recently, says the uptick in sightings is likely related to the fact that so many people have doorbell cameras now...

Opinion: ‘Theft tax’ is costing California families more than $500 per year

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:45:11 GMT

Unless you have hundreds of dollars a year to waste, and it doesn’t bother you to see lives wasted through treatable addiction, it is time to demand action from Sacramento politicians whose failed policies have accelerated California’s costly plague of retail thefts and functionally abandoned those suffering from drug addictions.The Department of Homeland Security estimates that organized retail theft costs the average family more than $500 a year to make up for the cost of massive theft, which in California totals $7.83 billion per year in direct losses and another $568 million in lost tax revenue in 2022 alone — and 2023 is looking to be worse.For some small businesses, the cost is far higher — with many businesses now being forced to close, citing the cost of retail thefts. National grocery and pharmacy stores are closing in high-crime areas, meaning many neighborhoods face the loss of vital services, and local communities must make up for the lost tax base with highe...

Walters: Gov. Newsom’s rocky relationship with labor unions

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:45:11 GMT

Gov. Gavin Newsom describes himself as a “progressive” and has said his vision for California includes a highly unionized workforce.However, his relationship with the state’s public and private employee unions has been a rocky one. Sometimes he and union leaders sing from the same hymnal, but they occasionally are at odds, particularly when labor is feuding with corporate interests that Newsom is also cultivating.That syndrome was displayed last weekend when he vetoed two of union leaders’ high priority measures, including one that would have given unemployment benefits to striking workers, but then chose a former union leader, Laphonza Butler, to fill a U.S. Senate seat that became vacant when Dianne Feinstein died.The juxtaposition drew a sharp retort from Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, who resigned from the Legislature last year to become head of the California Labor Federation.“Don’t get distracted,” Gonzalez Fletcher posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Gov. Newsom has vetoed th...

Relentless Max Verstappen can clinch his 3rd F1 title as early as the sprint at the Qatar Grand Prix

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:45:11 GMT

Max Verstappen can win his third straight Formula One title at the Qatar Grand Prix. And he can do it on Saturday.Verstappen will secure the title if he finishes sixth or higher in the sprint race Saturday, which could leave Sunday’s main Grand Prix race as something of an afterthought. Winning the title in a sprint — a 19-lap contest that F1 refuses to call a “race” — could be a little awkward for the series and for Verstappen. He has previously argued the format should be scrapped.“It’s not proper racing, it’s more like gambling,” he said after the season’s first sprint in Azerbaijan in April. “I think I will have more success in Vegas if I go to the casino. I like racing, I’m a pure racer and I think this is more for the show.”It’s been a relentlessly dominant season from the Dutch driver, who has had the fastest car with Red Bull but has also left his teammate Sergio Perez far behind in the standings. Perez is the last driver with a mathematical cha...
