Target: Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Seattle Association, Washington Retail Association, Washington Hospitality Association, and other area business groups 

workingwa.org

Employers in the region have a key role to play to help us all ride out the Seattle Squeeze. Public agencies and some large companies have encouraged telecommuting, altered work schedules, and other similar steps — but not everyone works in an office.

We call on the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Seattle Association, the retail lobby, and the restaurant lobby to join us in urging employers to do what it takes to offer some relief to the hundreds of thousands of people in our region who work in food service, retail, warehouses, caregiving, delivery, and other fields that require that a worker show up at a particular workplace in order to do their jobs.

What employers can do:

• PROVIDE AT LEAST TWO WEEKS’ NOTICE OF WORK SCHEDULES. Employees will need extra time to plan their lives, accommodate caregiving needs, and adjust their commutes given the level of congestion and increased travel-time expected.
• SET A MINIMUM SHIFT LENGTH OF AT LEAST FOUR HOURS.
  Extended commute times will make short shifts particularly hard for employees, and fewer shift changes means less trips in the region.
• DO NOT RELY ON ON-CALL SHIFTS. Expecting employees to be prepared to come to work without notice and arrive within a short time of being called in will be practically impossible during this period.
• ACCOMMODATE WORKERS WHO NEED TO MODIFY THEIR AVAILABILITY. Employers should go the extra mile to adjust employees’ schedules to accommodate transportation challenges, and plan more shift overlap to account for added unpredictability in travel times.
• ESTABLISH EMPLOYEE-TO-EMPLOYEE SHIFT SWAPPING SYSTEMS. Employees should be allowed to trade shifts with co-workers (including those who work at different locations) so they can provide additional flexibility to each other.
• WAIVE DISCIPLINE FOR EMPLOYEES WHO ARRIVE LATE TO WORK DUE TO TRANSPORTATION. Employees should not be penalized for our region’s transportation squeeze, including through the application of “points” in occurrence-based discipline systems, algorithmic management systems, and similar practices.
• CONTRIBUTE TO EMPLOYEES’ TRANSPORTATION COSTS. Policies which make transit free to employees can greatly increase ridership, reducing traffic impacts for everyone.

• AUDIT FOR COMPLIANCE WITH SEATTLE’S SECURE SCHEDULING ORDINANCE. Large food, coffee, and retail chains doing business within the city limits of Seattle are already obligated by law to provide advance notice, pay for on-call shifts, accommodate transportation-related scheduling needs, and more.

What gig economy companies can do:

• ADJUST PAY ALGORITHMS TO GIVE MORE WEIGHT TO TIME SPENT ON A JOB. Short-distance trips may take far longer to complete than usual, so pay rates should reflect time spent on the job rather than distance traveled.
• PROVIDE WORKERS THE ESTIMATED TIME INVOLVED IN A GIVEN JOB. Workers will need this information before choosing to accept or reject a job so they can avoid longer trips if they have family obligations or otherwise require flexibility.
• DON’T PENALIZE WORKERS FOR DECLINING JOBS THAT DON’T WORK FOR THEM. Nobody should risk their livelihood because they choose not to take jobs requiring long trips during a period of maximum traffic constraint.
• WAIVE APPLICATION OF CUSTOMER STAR RATINGS TO WORKERS’ EVALUATIONS. Some customers will express frustration with extended travel and delivery times through in-app ratings. Workers do not have control over these conditions, so these ratings should not be applied to decisions on discipline, terminate, or other evaluations.
• ENSURE ACCESS TO COMPANY REPRESENTATIVES WHEN ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED. Workers should have a place to go to resolve the situation if there is a transportation-related problem with completing a job.

About 60 million workers are covered by forced arbitration agreements which restrict their access to the courts and instead require labor rights claims to go to arbitration — but few people really know what arbitration looks like…  this eye-opening piece in Bloomberg .

The subject of the case may be a former Wall Street hotshot trying to collect on a $1 million bonus, but the details are nonetheless startling, and undoubtedly worth a closer look (as is the lovely illustration). Most memorable perhaps is the arbitrator who denied that he had fallen asleep but did allow that “it’s a challenge for any arbitrator to have to keep paying close attention” because “sometimes the witness is very repetitive.” But the kicker is the straightforwardness with which a corporate lawyer explains the benefits of this system: there are usually more employees than managers on juries, and “every employee hates their boss,” which affects their outlook on legal claims.

• Monmouth Junction, NJ, Tris Pharma, Inc. is expanding the scope of its November 2018 recall by adding three (3) additional lots of Ibuprofen Oral Suspension Drops, USP, 50 mg per 1.25 mL, to the retail (pharmacy) level. Some units from these batches have been found to have higher levels of Ibuprofen concentration.
  Infants already susceptible to the adverse effects of ibuprofen may be at a slightly higher risk if they receive medication from an impacted bottle. There is a remote probability that infants, who may be more susceptible to a higher potency level of drug, may be more vulnerable to permanent NSAID-associated renal injury. Some units from these six (6) lots have been found to contain Ibuprofen as high as 10% above the specified limit. Studies have shown that safety issues or toxicity is generally accepted to be a concern in infants at doses in excess of 700% of the recommended dose.1 To date, no serious adverse events have been reported related to this recall.
  The product is used as a pain reliever/fever reducer and is packaged in ½ oz. and 1 oz. bottles. This voluntarily recall includes the six (6) lots listed below:

• Spokane Produce Inc. of Spokane, WA initiates a voluntary recall of sandwiches containing green leaf lettuce and foodservice lettuce filets following notice of a produce industry ingredient recall by Adam Bros. Farming Inc. Sandwich products bearing the Northwest Cuisine Creations and Fresh&Local labels. These products are recalled because they may be contaminated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteria (E. Coli O157:H7). E. coli O157:H7 causes a diarrheal illness often with bloody stools.
  Daniel J. Petek  (509)710 -8301
  All sandwiches bear the “best buy” dating 12/14/18-12/21/18. The product was distributed to grocery markets in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Oregon. In addition, Green Leaf Filets (no label) in five(5) and ten(10) pound containers are being recalled from foodservice accounts. The affected products distributed by Spokane Produce include green leaf lettuce that was originated and recalled from Adam Bros. Farming Inc. of Santa Maria, CA. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that sediment from a reservoir near where the Adam Bros. Farm produce was grown tested positive for E.coli O157:H7. Filtered and treated water from the reservoir may have come in contact with the produce after it was harvested. None of the filtered, treated water has tested positive for E. coli, all E. coli tests returning negative.
  “We are taking extreme precautionary measures,” notes Dan Petek, Spokane Produce spokesperson. “To date, there have been no cases of E coli or contamination from any Adam Bros. green leaf lettuce. In complete regard for the public at large and our customers, we believe it is prudent at this point to be proactive and call in all product.”
  Out of an abundance of caution, as a service to the general consuming public at large, product is being recalled in consultation with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). No illnesses have been reported to date.
  Consumers who purchased any of the sandwiches bearing the “best buy 12/14/18-12/21/18” are advised not to eat any product and should destroy or return the product to the place of purchase.
