    Ma urges California to be more business friendly (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In another place and time, Fiona Ma might have been a Republican. The former San Francisco supervisor and current state treasurer has held five different elected offices, all as a Democrat. But to hear her talk as a candidate for lieutenant governor about her priorities and how she’d handle the office, you’d be forgiven for thinking she was a Main Street conservative. Ma says she wants the state to be more business-friendly, and she wants to go on a listening tour to find out why businesses

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If campaign funding is any indication, the state’s billionaires are really opposed to paying a tax on their wealth. Thanks to a flood of money from the ultrarich in recent weeks, the fight over the billionaire tax being proposed via Proposition 40 is on track to be the second-most expensive ballot battle in state history.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s official: Uber and Lyft drivers have formed a union. Now comes what might be the harder part: negotiating a first contract with the San Francisco-based ride-hailing companies. On Wednesday, the state Public Employment Relations Board certified the California Gig Workers Union — which is backed by the powerful Service Employees International Union — as drivers’ official bargaining organization. As such, the union will be able to negotiate on their behalf on a sectoral basis, meaning

    Labor movement gaining ground in tech (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Lucas said he’s been in the Bay Area working in the tech industry for 10 years — primarily at startups, but also at one of the big tech companies. He’s worked as a software engineer and managed small teams. Currently, he works for a 500-person company that makes software for biologists. But Lucas’ present ambition is a bit different from many of his tech-industry peers, past and present. He isn’t aiming to found his own unicorn or invent some new, mega-popular product or service.
