April 30, 2019 April 30, 2019 – DIR OSHA and ILWU 2019 May Day At Port Of Oakland
WorkWeek looks at the ongoing corruption scandal at California Division Of Industrial Relations DIR. Former Christine Baker the director was involved in placing her daugher in a no work job and paying her $129,000. Baker was in charge of Cal-OSHA and Department of Workers Compensation and there is a serious systemic crisis for workers at both agencies. The California Attorney General Xavier Becerra is still defending Baker and refuses to investigate and prosecute her, her daughter and other state officials for corruption and fraud.
Next, WorkWeek hears about the issues on May Day for ILWU Local 10 and other Port of Oakland maritime workers who face an effort by billionaire and GAP owner John Fisher who wants to build a new A's stadium on Howard Terminal in the Port of Oakland. This according to maritime workers would destroy jobs and threaten gentrification of the community.

At a press conference at San Francisco Treasure Island on March 14, 2019, Tetra Tech health and safety experts and Health Physicist and a Treasure Island Safety Officer talked about the systemic violation of health and safety standards and protection for the workers, residents and the public.
They reported that Tetra Tech management was involved in criminal violations of testing including massive falsfication and that this was covered up by the US and California government. They also said that they had contacted Cal-OSHA but they had not responded to blatant violations of health and safety conditions and illegal retaliations against whistleblowers.
Speakers included Tetra Tech workers Bert Bowers, Archie Jackson and Guy Taibi who is a health physicist and Treasure Island Safety Officer. Taibi also worked for the State Of California and reported that there was fllagrant violation of carrrying out their responsiblity to protect the people of California and that this was the policy of top state officials. He reported that the Federal government provides millions of dollars to the state of California to carry out oversight and investigations but these officials refuse to use these funds to carry out this work. He also reported that there is significant nuclear material still on Treasure Island owned by the Navy that means that there was an improper transfer of the property to San Francisco for development.
He said that the continued development of Treasure Island is a threat to the health and safety of the public.
