Hotel Worker Safety Ordinance Information Item Date: August 8, 2019 To: Mayor and City Council From: Anuj Gupta, Deputy City Manager / Director of Policy Subject: Analysis of hotel housekeeper safety protections, overtime compensation and required training for human trafficking, sexual and domestic violence, and public health and safety Introduction Santa Monica has long been at the forefront of both supporting the visitor industry that is a key part of our local economy as well as promoting the wellbeing and rights of the workers in our hotels and restaurants. In October 2017, the advocacy efforts of the #MeToo movement rose to prominence, spurring national conversations around protecting workers from sexual harassment and assault in the workplace. The #MeToo movement has touched almost every industry, bringing increased pressure to policy- making bodies to adopt legislation to protect employees in various sectors from workplace harassment and assault. With over eight million visitors annually, 41 hotels and motels anchor Santa Monica’s robust tourism industry, employing about 2,100 hotel housekeepers. As the national discussion around protecting individuals from sexual assault and harassment in the workplace continues, the City of Santa Monica’s Commission on the Status of Women (COSW) spearheaded efforts to bring a hotel housekeepers’ safety policy on the local level that is in line with policies adopted in other cities such as Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle and Chicago. Last October, the Santa Monica City Council (Council) unanimously directed City staff to prepare a draft ordinance on hotel worker safety for consideration and adoption. Staff 1 anticipates introducing an ordinance for first reading at the August 27, 2019 meeting. In preparation for the meeting, staff has prepared this information item to frame the key issues as well as preview staff perspectives and frame the community dialogue and feedback since Council directed staff to develop the ordinance. This approach of releasing a Council Information Item in advance of Council presentation helped preview staff perspectives and frame the community dialogue and feedback when Council considered a proposal to change “labor peace” language in City leases in 2018. Background On June 13, 2018, representatives of hospitality union UNITE HERE! Local 11 (Local 11) presented to the COSW on the policies and services related to hospitality worker protection, including a set of recommendations and possible action the City of Santa Monica (City) could adopt to support their advocacy efforts. Following the meeting, COSW’s Health and Safety ad hoc committee drafted a letter based on Local 11’s recommendations and submitted the letter to the Council in September 2018 (Attachment A). At the October 23, 2018 City Council meeting, COSW Chair Sylvia Ghazarian presented the Commission’s recommendation to advocate for a policy change designed to protect hotel housekeepers from sexual harassment, abuse and assault and from overly burdensome workloads. Council voted unanimously to direct City staff to draft an ordinance incorporating each of the following four components recommended to the Council: 1. Protection for hotel housekeepers from all forms of sexual violence by providing panic buttons and other measures to enable hotel housekeepers to report misconduct and remove themselves from dangerous situations without fear of retaliation. 2. Provisions to ensure hotel housekeepers are compensated fairly when they are required to perform unreasonable workloads and protections against mandatory overtime. 3. Required training for hotel housekeepers to ensure that these employees have the knowledge and skills to both protect their own rights and safety. 4. Required education and training to identify potential instances of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual violence and public health and safety. 2 The cities of Long Beach, Oakland, Emeryville, and Seattle have adopted similar ordinances through ballot measures approved by voters. The provisions present various challenges and concerns with implementation and enforcement. Since the City would not be the first city to adopt an ordinance related to hotel workers’ safety and workloads, the City has learned from other cities’ efforts to date. Stakeholder Engagement To fully analyze each component of the COSW recommendation and Council direction, City staff engaged with various Santa Monica lodging industry stakeholders including COSW’s ad-hoc committee, Local 11, Santa Monica lodging businesses, Santa Monica Travel and Tourism, Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce and the Hotel Association of Los Angeles. In meetings with City staff, Local 11 emphasized the urgency to adopt local legislation that complements existing state legislation pertaining to hotel housekeepers’ safety and overtime compensation. Meanwhile, the lodging businesses and associations expressed concerns about duplicating state regulations and the industry’s ability to equitably implement a “humane workload” provision, in particular, a square footage maximum. City staff have also kept the COSW ad-hoc committee abreast of the policy development on this issue and intends to present its analysis to the full COSW at its August 14, 2019 meeting in advance of presenting the proposed ordinance to the Council. City staff has consulted with multiple cities with similar ordinances during the research process including Long Beach, Seattle, Emeryville and Oakland to learn about their experiences in implementation and enforcement of their respective ordinances. Discussion To better understand what Santa Monica lodging businesses are already providing in terms of worker safety and training requirements, workload policies and human trafficking, City staff conducted outreach to the businesses and learned the following. 3 The total number of guest rooms per hotel or motel in Santa Monica ranges from as few as 14 and up to 340 guest rooms. The square footage of guest rooms in the City ranges from 150 to 1,350 square feet, depending on whether the accommodation is a single, double or suite. Both points speak to the potential challenge of implementing a “one- size fits all” policy regarding safety and workload requirements for all lodging businesses. To define the composition of the lodging businesses, the chart below outlines the characteristics of hotel properties and the percentage representation of rooms per type of property within the City: Type of Property # of Properties % of Rooms Very Small (under 50 rooms) 17 41% Small (under 100 rooms) 8 20% Medium (101-300 rooms) 13 32% Large (over 300 rooms) 3 7% Total 41 100% Ordinance Components In response to the COSW’s recommendation and Council direction, staff will be presenting recommendations for a local ordinance to the Council on August 27, 2019 to address the following four areas: 1. Hotel housekeeper safety protections 2. Hotel housekeeper workloads and overtime compensation 3. Hotel housekeeper training on personal rights and safety 4. Hotel housekeeper education and training to identify and prevent instances of human trafficking; domestic violence; sexual violence; and public health and safety COSW ordinance component #1: Recommendation to protect hotel workers from all forms of sexual violence via panic buttons and other measures. 4 From 2008-2018, the City has identified at least 29 incidents of hotel employees who reported being the victim of sexual battery, other sex offense, aggravated assault, or other assault. According to Local 11, many housekeepers are women who generally work by themselves in guest rooms and vulnerable to crimes and other threatening behavior, including sexual assault. Requiring hoteliers to provide panic buttons enables hotel housekeepers to protect their safety as well as report or alter threatening conduct or other emergencies. Local 11 is proposing to require all Santa Monica hoteliers to provide an operational panic button to each hotel worker and employ or contract with at least one on-site security guard or other personnel who will be responsible for providing immediate on-scene assistance when a device is activated. A hotel worker may cease work, leave the immediate area and may not be disciplined for their actions under these circumstances. Based on tests with different types of personal safety devices such as noisemakers or safety whistles, Local 11 believes panic buttons are the most effective type of safety device, and that other personal safety devices are not sufficient as they have limited noise projection, prolonging emergency response times. Santa Monica hoteliers have voiced that hotel staff and guest safety is a top priority and according to the hoteliers, worker safety protocol is generally unique to each hotel based on the property configuration, staffing composition and other factors. Based on information collected by City staff, 100 percent of those lodging businesses who responded will have panic buttons installed and sexual harassment training in place by 2020. In September 2018, the American Hotel & Lodging Association announced the 5- Star Promise – “a pledge to provide hotel employees across the U.S. with employee safety devices and commit to enhanced policies, trainings and resources that together are aimed at enhancing hotel safety, including preventing and responding to sexual harassment and assault” – with major hotels brands. By brand affiliation, 25 percent of Santa Monica hotels are part of the 5-Star Promise. Hoteliers utilize Hospitality Technology Next Generation’s Staff Alert Device Buyer’s Guide

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • 1933–1941, a New Deal for Forest Service Research in California
    The Search for Forest Facts: A History of the Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, 1926–2000 Chapter 4: 1933–1941, A New Deal for Forest Service Research in California By the time President Franklin Delano Roosevelt won his landslide election in 1932, forest research in the United States had grown considerably from the early work of botanical explorers such as Andre Michaux and his classic Flora Boreali- Americana (Michaux 1803), which first revealed the Nation’s wealth and diversity of forest resources in 1803. Exploitation and rapid destruction of forest resources had led to the establishment of a federal Division of Forestry in 1876, and as the number of scientists professionally trained to manage and administer forest land grew in America, it became apparent that our knowledge of forestry was not entirely adequate. So, within 3 years after the reorganization of the Bureau of Forestry into the Forest Service in 1905, a series of experiment stations was estab- lished throughout the country. In 1915, a need for a continuing policy in forest research was recognized by the formation of the Branch of Research (BR) in the Forest Service—an action that paved the way for unified, nationwide attacks on the obvious and the obscure problems of American forestry. This idea developed into A National Program of Forest Research (Clapp 1926) that finally culminated in the McSweeney-McNary Forest Research Act (McSweeney-McNary Act) of 1928, which authorized a series of regional forest experiment stations and the undertaking of research in each of the major fields of forestry. Then on March 4, 1933, President Roosevelt was inaugurated, and during the “first hundred days” of Roosevelt’s administration, Congress passed his New Deal plan, putting the country on a better economic footing during a desperate time in the Nation’s history.

    Special Sermons for Special Days Paul W. Powell A NNUITY B OARD OF THE S OUTHERN B APTIST C ONVENTION 2401 Cedar Springs • P.O. Box 2190 • Dallas, Texas 75221-2190 1-800-262-0511 75 Years Of Keeping Your Confidence iii Copyright 1993 Annuity Board of the Southern Baptist Convention All Rights Reserved iv Introduction Regardless of one’s method of sermon planning and sermon preparation, there are certain days and events that almost dictate a theme. From New Year to Christmas there are a number of these “special days” that recur each year. Other special days, such as closure of one’s pastorate or the ordination of a minister, or starting a building finance campaign, come less frequently. In thirty-four years as a pastor I tried to make special days meaningful for both my people and me. Sometimes the ideas came easily. Other times the sermon developed after agonizing hours or days of study and prayer. This little book is given in the hope you will find a key thought or a complete sermon that will be useful in your call as a minister. My prayer is that all your days will be special in the assurance “This is the day which the Lord hath made” (Psalm 118:24). Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Paul W.

  • Ellemosynary: Love Isn’T Easy,Dial M for Murder Provides
    Ellemosynary: Love Isn’t Easy Ellemosynary, now playing downstage at 2nd Story Theatre, is a one-act play about the relationships between the Westbrook women. Echo (Valerie Westgate) is a champion speller who adores her grandmother Dorothea (Isabel O’Donnell). Artemis (Sharon Carpentier) is Echo’s mother and Dorothea’s daughter. Ellemosynary, which means charitable, is about women who try to be loving toward each other but sometimes come up short. The story is told in flashbacks, as Echo relates how she grew up under Dorothea’s influence. Dorothea was a “notable eccentric” who was interested in communicating with the dead and astral projection. When Echo was 12, she wanted to be “the greatest speller in history.” Meanwhile, Artemis tells of how she chafed under Dorothea’s control, which was so unbearable she fled the country after suffering a tragedy. Artemis is neurotic but highly intelligent. She loves Echo but doesn’t know how to be a real mother to her. The interactions between the women are alternately sad and humorous. Playwright Lee Blessing knows how to write sharp, witty dialogue as well as how to create deeply textured characters. Echo experiences a lot of confusion and pain after being abandoned by Artemis. This is expressed in an overwhelming desire to win the National Spelling Bee. Echo berates a fellow contestant and spells out a series of words in a fury. The performances are uniformly excellent. Westgate, who previously starred as Joan of Arc in Saint Joan, brings the right amount of charm and vulnerability to Echo. Carpentier makes the audience understand Artemis’ character flaws and gains our sympathy.
