Board rejects Mayor Breed’s final picks for S.F. commissions

The Board of Supervisors in a 5-4 vote today rejected Mayor London Breed’s nominations to two city commissions. The vote seemed to say: Leave it to the next mayor. “I think it is the obligation of this board to put our foot down and reject these, and let a new mayor nominate whoever he chooses,” said Board president Aaron Peskin. “I would rather give the new mayor a clean slate.” Breed had nominated former California Public Utilities Commission administrative law judge Joanna Gubman to the Board of Appeals, transit planner and Apple transportation product manager Sara Barz to the Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors, and attorney James Byrne to fill the Police Commission seat vacated by Debra Walker — who Breed recently appointed to the Arts Commission.The Board of Supervisors Rules Committee rejected all three nominations last week. Peskin said today […]

Seasonal Renovations: How Timing Can Affect the Cost of Your Garage Makeover

  Renovating your garage is a fantastic investment that transforms a basic storage space into a functional and appealing part of your home. However, the timing can significantly impact the cost and the project’s efficiency. Factors such as demand for services, weather conditions, and material availability all vary seasonally, which makes some seasons better than others for certain types of upgrades. If your renovation plans include adding a new garage coating, for instance, timing is crucial. Coating applications rely on specific temperature ranges and low humidity to cure correctly. Understanding how each season affects different aspects of a makeover can help you make better decisions. Winter Winter is the least common time for makeovers, but it can offer substantial savings. Demand for contractors tends to drop, which lowers labor costs and creates opportunities for discounts on materials. If your garage […]

S.F. wins $1M settlement against gig firm WorkWhile

The San Francisco city attorney’s office announced today that it has reached a settlement agreement with gig staffing company WorkWhile, the second worker classification victory this year from the city’s newly-formed Worker Protection Team. WorkWhile, a San Francisco-based gig company that connects workers with temp work, will pay $1 million to thousands of workers the city claimed were being denied rights and benefits. It will also permanently reclassify all its current and future workers, except delivery workers, as employees rather than independent contractors. The judgment came on Dec. 10 — about 10 months after San Francisco secured the country’s first injunction to require a gig company, in that case Qwick, to permanently reclassify its workers.WorkWhile has grown rapidly since its launch in 2020, with half a million workers now operating across 27 states, according to the city attorney’s office. Its workers are […]

UK high street retailers accused of recruiting young workers without employment rights over Christmas

UKhigh street retailers have been accused of recruiting young workers as store assistants without basic employment rights over the busy Christmas period (Getty Images) UK high street retailers have been accused of recruiting young workers as store assistants without basic employment rights over the busy Christmas period. Major brands – such as Urban Outfitters, Lush, Gymshark, Uniqlo and Emma Sleep – are allegedly drafting in “freelance” shop assistants through gig apps for the festive season, which means the workers would not be covered by most employment protections because they are technically classed as self-employed. Describing the new development as “worrying”, Tim Sharp, senior policy officer for employment rights at the Trades Union Congress (TUC), told The Independent: “It would seem absurd to most people that someone can do a job like working in a shop and not be entitled to […]
