Curbing City's Overtime Expenditures
Supervisor Campos introduced legislation, co-sponsored by Supervisor Farrell, to reign in overtime expenditures by City Departments after a recent hearing revealed that City departments are projected to overspend their budgeted overtime amounts by nearly $40 million.  The proposed legislation would require the City's top ten overtime departments, which are responsible for 97% of the City's overtime spending, to seek approval from the Board of Supervisors if they want to spend more than their budgeted overtime amounts.

Remembering the Historic ARC/AIDS Vigil

On June 21, the Board of Supervisors unanimously passed Supervisor Campos'  resolution recognizing the historic significance of the ARC/AIDS Vigil and encouraging the City and County of San Francisco to place a plaque on or near the site of the ARC/AIDS Vigil.  Supervisors Wiener, Mirkarimi and Chiu co-sponsored the legislation. The ARC/AIDS Vigil is San Francisco's longest continuous AIDS protest.  People living with HIV and AIDS and their allies camped out at the United Nations Plaza from 1985 to 1995 to demand federal government recognition and research funding for the deadly disease.

Introducing the Wage Theft Prevention Ordinance

A recent hearing called for by Supervisors Campos and Mar exposed wage theft as a growing problem in San Francisco.  Wage theft involves unscrupulous employers paying workers below the legal minimum and denying workers overtime and sick pay. The hearing also raised awareness about the lack of resources and enforcement powers available to the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement. In response to these findings, Supervisors Campos and Mar introduced legislation that would allow investigators greater access to workplaces, require investigations to be completed within a year's time, increase penalties for employer retaliation and impose penalties for failing to uphold minimum wage rates.  To read more about the Wage Theft Prevention legislation: SF Bay Guardian article
