"Uber and Lyft and DoorDash are probably three of the best known gig economy companies out there. And shares of all three of them had a really rough ride yesterday after the Biden administration announced a new proposed rule that might wind up with millions of Americans think rideshare and delivery drivers, of course, among them, but many others. Being classified as workers and not independent contractors. There is lots of bureaucracy to go before anything actually happens, but it's the first real federal move into this kind of regulation that until now has mostly been done by the states. Marketplace is a little jamali, has more on that one. Washington should be involved in setting standards for how gig workers are classified says Cornell's Patricia campos Medina because up until now, they have failed to keep up with the regulations that are needed to meet the changes in their economy. She says the rules for gig companies have been largely set by cities and states. Take California. It's resorted to a patchwork of legislation, court rulings, even a referendum to regulate how the industry classifies workers. Campos Medina says having the federal government take initiative matters. It raises the standards for everybody for every worker. In a way that many labor activists say is long overdue. On other issues too, like raising the federal minimum wage, which Congress hasn't done in more than a decade. Kristen Sharpe is the CEO of flex, a rideshare and delivery company trade group currently reviewing the government's approach to redefining the status of workers. We're cautiously optimistic that the proposed rule, if enacted as is, which may or may not be the case, wouldn't result in significant impact to our member companies operations. Companies like Uber and Lyft have said reclassifying drivers as workers would require them to change their business models because of rising labor costs from new worker benefits and protections. Any change wouldn't just affect workers at gig companies, according to UC Hastings, veena dubal, but also in low wage sectors that are primarily occupied by immigrants and racial minorities like construction, farm, domestic and janitorial work. She says the Biden administration's proposal is a start, but doesn't go far enough. I'm lily jamali

"Well, the energy department keeps running statistics on all kinds of fuel going back to the 1990s. The Associated Press crunched the numbers and figures the diesel and heating oil supply in New England is now more than 60% below the 5 year average. And of course, people in the northeast use this oil to heat their homes in the winter. Well, that is a lot. What is causing this shortage? Well, part of it is the disruption to energy markets from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And stockpiling is really hard right now because prices are high. They are expected to drop, though. So I'm in New York, you're in D.C.. What are we supposed to do this winter? Well, a state and federal government officials say they are working on the problem, the energy secretary Jennifer Granholm is said to meet with the governors of New England states and their energy directors after Labor Day, and she's asking them to do whatever they can now to shore up heating supplies and plan for the winter. The energy department also has a million barrel heating oil reserve that can be tapped in an emergency former president Barack Obama authorized releases from the reserve after hurricane sandy, and there is the federal low income heating assistance program, which helps the neediest households pay for heating oil.

Delays cancellations, welcome to air travel, summer 2022 edition. Cowan helene Becker says shortages of pilots flight attendants and mechanics have wreaked havoc as demand for leisure travel, surges. I've covered the airline industry for 40 years and I've never seen it like this. And it's frightening to me because I think it's going to be like this for at least another year. Becker says a lack of air traffic controllers at airports has made things even worse and the FAA is playing catch up trying to get more trained. But the airlines have taken most of the blame for this summer's travel nightmare. Mike Boyd, head of aviation consulting firm boy group international says the way airlines have responded to stranded passengers has ticked a lot of them off.

"I'm Lily Jamali. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health has sent a memo to its standards Board asking it to delay a vote on proposed changes to pandemic related workplace guidelines. The board is meeting later this morning and had been scheduled to review its latest proposal, which included easing rules on wearing masks indoors and physical distancing. But in the letter, the deputy chief of Cal OSHA says that with the recent change and guidance from the CDC regarding mask wearing for people who are fully vaccinated And California's response, the agency would prefer to wait to give it time to present new proposed changes to workplace rules at a future meeting. The ultimate goal is to align with the state scheduled reopening date of June 15th. More than 67% of Californians, who were 18 and older have received at least one dose of the covert 19 vaccine. That's according to the latest data from the CDC. That puts California near the top when it comes to best performing states. Vaccination efforts continue to be led by the Bay Area and Southern California, as most counties in both of those regions have administered at least one dose to well over half of their residents. But other parts of the state like rural areas in Northern California are lagging well behind in some counties, far less than 50% of residents or even partially vaccinated. Despite many successes when it comes to vaccinating the public in L. A county, there are still concerns about outreach. Less than half of eligible people There are fully vaccinated. KPCC is Jackie 48 reports. Fewer people are getting infected with covert 19 in California, and highly potent free vaccines are widely available, but demand for those shots has dropped. Mass vaccination sites in Ventura, Orange and Los Angeles counties are in the process of closing as fewer people show up. Andrew Norma is an epidemiologist at UC Irvine. He says the vaccinations are a race against time. This lenient period were in right now is a function of the fact that we're coming off of the winter waves and the fact that covet is already becoming a seasonal phenomenon. It's not the end of the pandemic. No, I'm are expects more covert 19 cases in colder months when respiratory viruses usually tick up and you expect to see more cases in the fall and in the winter, So let's get vaccinated now and make that in a way, the smallest possible health officials hope to see a bump in fully vaccinated residents in the next couple of weeks. Many people weren't eligible until mid April. Those people are now just getting a second dose, and Pfizer's vaccine is now available for kids, 12 and up.

I'm Jackie 48 in Los Angeles. In Washington President Joe Biden recently signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to stop contracting with private prisons. So what impact could that have on detention facilities here in California? Kay VCR's Benjamin Perper has more on that. Biden's executive order directs the Department of Justice not to renew its contracts with privately operated prisons. But that doesn't cover private immigration detention facilities like Adelanto. In fact, the company that operates the facility Geo Group entered into a contract with the federal government in my 2019 that could keep out Alonso Open until 2034. Even be Tron is with the A C l U Southern California. She says she hopes the Biden administration will treat private immigration detention centers the same way it now treats private prisons. We just really hope that the Biden administration sees that the same equities that lead them to understand why Private prisons are harmful in the criminal context apply with equal force in the immigration context. And indeed that incarceration in general right, not just private incarceration is always for somebody's profit. A C L U.

A new poll shows just over half of Californians approve of the job. Governor Gavin Newsom is doing KQED is Katie Orr reports. These findings are better for Newsom than another recent poll. The Public Policy Institute of California finds 54% of Californians approve of how Newsome is doing his job. That's higher than a recent Berkeley I GS poll that placed his approval at 46%. P P I. C President Mark Baldassare e says he was surprised to see Newsome's approval so high in his poll. I've heard so much negative commentary about gather news from over the last several weeks that it was hard to imagine that his approval ratings would be above a majority. Sorry, says he thinks it's too soon to ask about a possible recall of Newsome. Before it's even qualified for the ballot for the California report. I'm Katie or in Sacramento, and we have a correction on a related story that we reported on our show yesterday. We incorrectly reported the proportion of voters surveyed in a recent Berkeley IGs pole, who said that they would support removing Governor Newsome from office in the event of a recall. 36% of voters support removing him 45% support retaining him. We flip those numbers yesterday and we regret the error..
