GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
SENATORS. THANK YOU FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MY
APPROACH TO THE WORK. AND
VISION FOR THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE. TO
EXPLAIN MY APPROACH I BEGIN
WITH TECHNOLOGY MY RICH
IMMIGRANT HERITAGE WHICH IS
GROUNDED IN LOVE STRUGGLE AND
HARD WORK. I AM FORTUNATE TO
HAVE MY PARENTS VIçT AMINATA
I'M AWAY WITH ME TODAY. THEY
INSTILLED IN ME A PROFOUND
APPRECIATION AND VALUE FOR HARD
WORK THROUGH THEIR TIRELESS
EXAMPLE I ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE MY
WIFE KELLY AND MY DAUGHTER MAYA
WEDDING COURAGE ME TO ASSUME
THIS ENDEAVOR OF PUBLIC
SERVICE. DALY THEY MAKE A
PRECIOUS SACRIFICE SO THAT I
MAY INVEST COUNTLESS HOURS TO
PERFORM THE JOB CALIFORNIA
DESERVES. I ALSO DRAW STRENGTH
FROM MY SISTERS BROTHERS AND
NEPHEWS WHOSE INSPIRING
EXAMPLES OF THE TERM SHIN AND
ADVOCACY GIVE ME HOPE TO PURSUE
A WORLD THAT IS NOT YET SEEN
THESE PERSONAL. BRIEFLY BUT
INTENTIONALLY BECAUSE AS A
DESCENDANT OF A BUT I SEVERAL
WORKER AND RIGHTEOUS FLAVORS I
AM A BENEFICIARY OF THE SOCIAL
CONTRACT THIS COUNTRY AND STATE
DECLARE. CALIFORNIA COMMITS TO
WORKERS AND LAW ABIDING
EMPLOYERS THAT IF THEY INVEST
THEIR TIME BODY AND MIND IN OUR
ECONOMIES THEY SHALL DO SO
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND IF
THOSE CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET.
CALIFORNIA WILL DEFEND THEIR
BASIC RIGHT. ORIGINS OF THIS
CONTRACT WAS GROUNDED IN ME BY
WITNESS SEE MY FATHER WORKS
THREE JOBS AND MY MOTHER TO
JOBS TO PROVIDE FOR OUR FAMILY.
I UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN CHECKS
BOUNCE WAGES ARE STOLEN
RETALIATION OCCURS OR YOU
EXPERIENCE AN UNINSURED
EMPLOYER PEOPLE ARE TRAUMATIZED
FAMILIES ARE DEVASTATED. THE
LABOR COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE IS
A FIRST RESPONDER TO THESE
TRAGIC REALITY. THESE CASES
FILED WITH MY OFFICE YOU NOT
ONLY REPRESENT LEGAL DISPUTES
BUT A VIOLATION OF CALIFORNIA
SOCIAL CONTRACT THAT IS THE
BACKBONE OF OUR ECONOMY. NOW IS
CALIFORNIANS FACED AN
UNPRECEDENTED PANDEMIC ECONOMIC
DEVASTATION AND A MOVEMENT THAT
HAS FORCED US TO RECKON WITH IN
THIS REGIONAL RACES. THAT
SOCIAL CONTRACT IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN. FOR TWENTY
YEARS THIS AGENCY WAS MY
BIGGEST PARTNER I LED A FIGHT
TO ELIMINATE UNFAIR COMPETITION
IN THE JANITORIAL INDUSTRY I
LEARNED THAT EFFECTIVE
ENFORCEMENT CANNOT BE ACHIEVED
BY WORKERS A LOAN OR A SINGLE
EMPLOYER. ALL STAKEHOLDERS
WORKERS EMPLOYERS INDUSTRY
LEADERS COMMUNITY GROUPS AND
GOVERNMENT NEED TO BE ENGAGED
TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE
COMPLIANCE. SUCCESSFUL
ENFORCEMENT HAS THREE
COMPONENTS PROACTIVE EDUCATION
TIMELY ENGAGEMENT AND
CONSISTENT APPLICATION OF LAW.
COMPONENTS MUST BE BUILT IN OUR
REGULAR OPERATIONS SO THAT
EVERY ENFORCEMENT UP HOLD
CALIFORNIA SOCIAL CONTRACT FOR
BOTH WORKERS AND LAW ABIDING
EMPLOYERS WHO ARE THE
FOUNDATION OF OUR ECONOMY. AS
LABOR COMMISSIONER EACH DAY I'M
WORK TO UPHOLD THE SOCIAL
CONTRACT FOR CALIFORNIA'S WORK
AND IT'S EMPLOYERS THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION I'M
AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I THINK WE WILL SEE IF MS BATES
WOULD LIKE TO START SENATOR ARE
YOU THERE. I AM WELCOME GOOD TO
SEE YOU. AGAIN TO BE HERE AT
LEAST A ON THE OF THIS GREAT
ANYWAY I WISH I COULD BE THERE
IN PERSON BUT- BOB LET ME START
WITH THE CONGRATULATIONS TO
YOU. GARCIA FOR THIS VERY VERY
IMPORTANT APPOINTMENTS AND OUR-
IDEA FIRST AND FOREMOST ON
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT
TO PUBLIC. REPRESENTATION VERY
COMPREHENSIVE AND SHE TOLD YOUR
PASSION FOR THE NEW JOB YOU'RE
YOU'RE TAKING ON A ACTUALLY
BEEN OUT AND ABOUT A YEAR I'M
LOOKING OUT THOUGH THE RIGHT
NUMBERS HERE. I HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CONFRONT SOME OF
THE ISSUES THAT ARE VERY
SIGNIFICANT IN MY DISTRICT SO
LET ME ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS
ON THOSE IT HAS TO DO NUMBER
ONE WITH THE INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTOR LOW. IN THE RIGHT.
YEAH ON WELL ACTION AFTER AND
STARTING WITH THE FIVE A QUICK
QUESTION THERE HAS BEEN COULD.
OVER THE BILL TO BUSINESS OUR-
AND WHETHER THOSE ARE. ARE
CERTAINLY AFFECTED BY EIGHTY
FIVE AND I THINK THAT CHAMBER
IT HAPPENED. THEY ALSO BOTH OF
THE GOVERNOR AND THE
LEGISLATORS LEGISLATURE TO TAKE
A LOOK AT GOALS ARE TO SEE IF
WE CAN GET SOME CLARITY SO. HOW
IS YOUR OFFICE CURRENTLY
VIEWING THE BUSINESS TO
BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS. ARE
ESPECIALLY IF IT'S BETWEEN TWO
SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP
PROPRIETORSHIPS. THANK YOU
SENATOR. AB FIVE IS A VERY-
IMPORTANT PIECE OF LEGISLATION
AND AS A NEW PIECE OF
LEGISLATION WE ARE EVALUATING
IT CAREFULLY- WE ARE OUR JOB IS
TO ENFORCE THE LAW. AND WE ARE
APPLYING THAT STATUTE AS WE
UNDERSTAND IT. OUR OFFICE IT
CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST
YOU- ANTI ADMINISTRATION TO
EVALUATE PROVIDE YOU WITH
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IN FOR ME
AND ASK ABOUT YOU EIGHT.
REFORMS THAT YOU MAY BE
CONSIDERED. THANK YOU FOR THAT
BUT I THINK GOING FORWARD I'M
GOING TO ASK IF YOU WANT TO A
GOT A LITTLE MORE TIME AND I'LL
CLEAR IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT
HERE SOLD OUT. THERE'S
CONSISTENCY IN THE APPLICATION
OF AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE
THERE'S SOME CONFUSION AND
UNCERTAINTY CERTAINLY SO. JUST
ASK ANY AND YOU'RE GOING
FORWARD ON YOUR TO DO LIST IF
YOU'LL TAKE ANOTHER LITTLE
LONGER HARDER LOOK AT BECAUSE
WE CAN SHOW YOU TO GET A
RESPONSE FROM OUR IN REMEMBER
SANTA. YEAH IT WILL MAKE TO AN
ATTORNEY HARM KIND OF IN TAKE
ON IT SO I THINK SOMETHING
THAT'S MORE ABSOLUTE IN HOW YOU
APPROACH IT AS VERY STRONG
GUIDANCE LET'S SAY WOULD BE
EXTREMELY HELPFUL ON THE- THE
CARGO LAWSUITS CERTAINLY DURING
THE COLD BEARD WE KNOW THAT OUR
BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN REALLY
REALLY CHALLENGED IN BEATING.
ALL LABOR LAWS. ESPECIALLY WHEN
YOU- ISSUES COME FORWARD IN
OPERATE AS AN ESSENTIAL OR NON
ESSENTIAL BUSINESS. SO I'M WILL
BE NATURAL WE'RE THINKING IN
THE LABOR DEPARTMENT ABOUT SOME
REFORMS THAT MIGHT BE AYE
NISHIDA. AT LEAST ON DURING
THIS PANDEMIC AND CERTAINLY
GOING FORWARD. THAT WE HAVE ON
YOU GIVING EMPLOYER SOME
OPPORTUNITY TO CURE. VIOLATIONS
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ESPECIALLY
DURING COLD BEEN UNINTENTIONAL
ARE WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT ON
THAT. THANK YOU SENATOR AND
BEFORE I GO TO THE POP THE
QUESTION LET ME ADD I
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU THAT
IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE
THAT WE ARE CONSISTENT IN OUR
APPLICATION OF LAW. AND WE HAVE
WORKED IN COORDINATION WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION TO ENSURE THAT
EMPLOYERS GET ONE ANSWER FROM
THE VARIOUS DIFFERENT
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES SO I WOULD
REFER YOUR CONSTITUENTS TO OUR
AB FIVE PORTAL. AND MY TEAM CAN
BE MADE AVAILABLE TO HELP THEM
BEST UNDERSTAND THEIR
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THAT TATUTE
AND WE'LL HAVE BEEN PART OF THE
OUTRAGE THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING
WITH COLIN WE HAVE AN YEAR.
JEAN EVERY CALIFORNIAN OUTREACH
CAMPAIGN AND ONE OF THE PRIMARY
GOALS OF THAT OUTREACH CAMPAIGN
IS TO BUILD A BUSINESS. EACH
BROWN. WE HAVE TO A MUCH JOB OF
THE- EMPLOYERS NOT ONLY IN
RESPECTS THE DEFENSE OF
ALLEGATIONS BEING MADE AGAINST
THEM BUT TO HELP THEM UNDER.
THAT WE- FOR RESPONSE BUSINESS
IT IS OUR STATUTORY OBLIGATION
TO ELIMINATE UNFAIR COMPETITION
SO WE WANT TO BE A RESOURCE FOR
THEM AS THEY STRUGGLE WITH
THESE REALITIES I DO NOT
BELIEVE THAT IT IS SUFFICIENT
FOR US TO SAY HERE'S THE LONG
NOW FOLLOW WITH. I STRUGGLED
WITH EMPLOYERS JANITORIAL
INDUSTRY FOR TWENTY YEARS IT
TAKES SOME TIME IT TAKES SME
UNDERSTANDING SOME ADJUSTMENTS
TRY DIFFERENT WAYS TO SEE GIVEN
THE ROLE OF THE COMPANY WHAT
THEY'RE ABLE TO DO AND PART OF
OUR- BUSINESS ENGAGE. THIS SO
WITH LOVE TO FOLLOW WITH OUR
OFFICE SINCE IF WE COULD DO A
WEBER ARE FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS
THE BETTER HELP THEM UNDERSTAND
WHAT THEIR OBLIGATIONS ARE
UNDER EIGHTY FIVE. WELL WHAT.
ABOUT THAT'S WONDERFUL THE
HEARING NANO GOING OUT AND YOU
NEED INTERACTION THAT
APPRECIATE THAT- CERTAINLY
ABSOLUTELY. AND I APOLOGIZE
SENATOR WOULD YOU REMIND ME
YOUR QUESTION ON WHICH RESPECTS
TO POPULAR. IT IS WHETHER OF
THEIRS REFORMS THAT MIGHT BE IN
THE RIGHT NOW FOR THOSE WHO
HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED THOSE
BUSINESS THOSE CHALLENGED WITH
YOU KNOW THE ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN
ON AGAIN NOW CENTRAL OR
NONESSENTIAL. OUR RESPONSE IN
THESE- WITH A POTENTIAL FOR-
YOU KNOW UNINTENTIONAL. ARE
VIOLATING OR BEING ON THE WRONG
SIDE OF THE LABOR LAUNDRY
CHALLENGE. THERE CAN BE ABA THE
VIEWS THAT THE WOULD TO BE ABLE
TO. WRAPPED WITHOUT HAVING SOME
SORT OF FINE OR ACTION TAKEN
AGAINST THEM I GUESS THE WOULD
BE SAYING. A WHICH HOW. THANK
YOU ARE WOULD BE THERE SO THAT
THEY WOULDN'T BE HELD
RESPONSIBLE DURING THIS
PARTICULAR TIME IF THEY WERE TO
REMEDIATE IMMEDIATELY WHATEVER
THE VIOLATION OB. ACTUALLY
OCCUR. THANK YOU SENATOR FOR
RESTATING THAT QUESTION- WE
ABSOLUTELY NEED TO DO MORE WHEN
IT COMES TO PAGA AND IN HOW WE
ENGAGE EMPLOYERS I HAD MET THE
ADMINISTRATION- LATE LAST YEAR
AND EVALUATED THE NEEDS TO HAVE
INFORMATION ON ALL SPECIFICALLY
FOR EMPLOYER HIGHLIGHTING SOME
OF THE BEST PRACTICE IT IS AN
ABSOLUTELY HIGH. YOUR POINT THE
OPTION. WORK THAT AVAILABLE
THEM- SO WE THAT WE HAVE BEEN
DELAYED IN EXECUTING THAT PLAN
BUT THAT IS- REFORM THAT I PLAN
TO IMPLEMENT AND I'M OPEN TO
HEAR FROM YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND
FROM YOUR OFFICE OF ALL OTHER
REFORMS THAT WE SHOULD. WHEN IT
COMES TO THE LETTER OF THE LAW
WE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT
THAT LETTER- AS A LOT AS REGION
SO BUT AGAIN OUR TEAM IS
AVAILABLE WE DO HAVE A- UNIT OF
THE TROOPS WHO HAVE SPECIALIZED
EXPERIENCE- IN. EVALUATING THE
POPPY CASES- AND THEY CAN BE
MADE AVAILABLE TO BE A PARTNER
AS YOU EVALUATE ANY REFORM.

HUNDRED OUTSTANDING. PUBLIC
SERVANTS WHO OSE TO THE
CHALLENGE AND WE ACTUALLY THIS
OPPORTUNITY AND STRENGTH AND
IMPROVES THE PUBLIC SERVICE
THAT WE WERE PROVIDING WE PUT
MORE. OPERATORS ON THE LINE WE
ENGAGE IN. OUTREACH WE ARE
INDUCTED BIRD. CALL THIS THE
FIG OUT OF REACH EFFORTS OVER
THESE THREE MONTHS WHICH I
PARTICIPATED IN MORE THAN HALF
OF THOSE AND WE HAVE
PARTICULARLY BEEN FOCUSED IN

EXISTING PATHWAY TO BELIEVE
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE SO WE'RE

MAKE SURE THEY HAVE. THIS IS
THE- WITH RESPECTS TO INFORM.
WE AS I MAY TO THE SENATOR TO

IN OUR PROTOCOLS CONSIDERING
THAT THE EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND

THE WE ARE INCORPORATING A
PROACTIVE STEP BEFORE WE ENGAGE
IN ENFORCEMENT ACTION WE ARE
REACHING OUT TO LAWYERS TO
ENSURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND
THEIR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE NEW
RULES AND- KNOW THAT WE- RAIL.
ALL DIGEST THOSE AND ABOUT A
WEEK THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS

THAT THEY MAY HAVE. FOR THOSE
BUSINESSES WHERE WE HAVE BEEN
UNABLE TO RESOLVE OUR TEAM HAS
BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY IN
THESE THREE MONTHS WE'VE
ACTUALLY HUNDRED TWENTY.
EDUCATION THAT INCLUDE MORE
THAN FOUR HUNDRED VIOLATIONS
MAJORITY OF THEM BEING MINIMUM
WAGE AND OVERTIME OVER A BROAD
RANGE OF INDUSTRIES TOTALING
ABOUT SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS

RELATED TO H. TO A GUEST
WORKERS. OVER TWENTY THOUSAND

THE RIGHTS OF THAT VERY
SUSCEPTIBLE GUEST WORKER
POPULATION SUSCEPTIBLE I MEAN
IN THE SENSE. THEY'RE BROUGHT
NEXT TO GO FOR THE MOST PART
HOUSED IN EMPLOYER HOUSING
OFTEN WITHOUT A LOT OF
COMMUNICATION WITH THE OUTSIDE
WORLD IS THERE ANYTHING THE
DIVISION DOES TO PROTECT THE
RIGHTS THE WAGE. PULLS IT
CENTRO OVERTIME PAY PER GUEST
WORKERS. THANK YOU SENATOR AND
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP

STRATEGIC ENFORCEMENT PROJECT

EXPLOITATION BUT ALSO- FAIR
COMPETITION WE'RE LOOKING TO
GET OUT THOSE LARGE PIECES THAT
HAVE SYSTEMIC VIOLATIONS SO WE
CONTINUE TO BE FOCUSED IN THAT
AREA WITH RESPECT SPECIFICALLY

VERY- CHALLENGING STRUCTURE AND
SO WHAT WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE IS
WE'VE INITIATED AN EFFORT WITH

A- STRUCTURE ROLE- WITH THESE
JOB OFFERS AND THESE- WORKERS
THAT ARE BROUGHT IT AND WE ARE
EVALUATING WITH THEM HOW IT IS
WE CAN SO WE CAN MAX. OUR
EFFORTS TOGETHER AND THAT WE
CAN GET BETTER ACCESS TO BILLS
WORKERS- AND THOSE EMPLOYERS
AND THE THIRD PIECE OF IT IS
THEY HAVE A MIGRANTS- MONITOR
PROGRAM. WHICH WERE LOOKING TO
REALLY ATTACH OURSELVES TO- AND
ENSURE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING
WORKERS WITH RELEVANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR WORK.
AND HOW TO GET ACCESS TO US IN
ONE OF THE BRIDGES AS YOU WELL
KNOW IN THESE ROLE COMMUNITIES
IS. FINDING WHERE OUR OFFICES

PARTNERING WITH THEM WE WILL BE
ABLE TO GO OUT WITH THEIR
MIGRANT MONITORS- AT. SHOW UP
AT THEIR OFFICE AND WHATEVER IS
CONDUCIVE TO THE WORKERS BRING
UP NATION. THE LAST PIECE WANT

ALLEN ALL STATE PRISON THAT HAD
QUITE A FEW UP. ALMOST ALMOST A
THOUSAND. AS IF CASES AS OF
TODAY THERE'S FORTY CASES.

DISTANCING. AT WAR. MY PARTNER
OUR HELP. THE CALIFORNIA PRESS
ONE HEALTH KERR. BUT. OR YARDS
AT AT TIME. WE HAVE HAND
SANITIZER WE WHEN I THINK CAL
P. I. A FOR PROVIDING BILLS A
MASK FOR US AND OURS ARE THE
INMATE POPULATION SO. THAT'S
HOW WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN IT'S
BEEN VERY POSITIVE THE WORD WE
HAD COAL BUT IT DOES TO PRISONS
AND S. ON DOWN STICKLEY. WHAT'S
THE PROCESS SEES CHANGED LOT
I'VE GOT LANCASTER STATE PRISON
IN MY DISTRICT. AND I HAD THE
OFFICERS REACH OUT TO ME
BECAUSE THEY WERE CONCERNED
THAT THEY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE
THERE IS ADEQUATE POTA. PLACE
IN. THE TO THE BURDEN NOTIONS
KINDA RE BY OFTEN I'M NOT SURE
WHAT THE CURRENT STATUS IS
THERE BUT THEY DID LIKE A LOT
OF PLACES THEY THEY DID EXPLODE
SO. HAS BEEN CHANGE IS. AT THE
DEPARTMENT ON ON A DRESS CODE
IN SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE-
THINGS THAT THEY WERE BEING
DONE TO PROTECT A- THE OFFICERS
AS WELL AS THE INMATES. YEAH
IT'S KIND OF LIKE I TELL
EVERYBODY GIVES NEW. IT IS
CROSSED ACROSS THE WORLD WAS
NEW TO ALL OF US SO
EVERYTHING'S VERY VERY FLUENT
BUT ONE BACK I CAN SAY THAT YOU
HAVE A VERY GOOD WHARTON
WORKING JOHNSON DOWN HIGHER AND
THAT HE HAD A HUNDRED AND
TWENTY EIGHT CASES. AND AS A I
THINK. WE SET HE HAS. A CASE OF
HOW GRAY HERE. HIM AND HIS SEE
DOWN IT EXCELLENT JOB IN HOW
THEY MANAGE THAT ENDEMIC ON
THERE. OKAY GREAT AGAIN THANKS
FOR ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT I GET
A LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING
YOUR CONFIRMATION. THANK YOU
SENATOR WELLS THANK YOU SENATE
ON AND- THANK YOU A- MAN PRO
TEM IN- I JUST WANT ALSO OFFER
MY- GRADUATIONS TO YOU. MISTER
CHAIRMAN IN AND THANKS FOR A
DEDICATED CAREER OF SERVICE- WE
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AT
THE CALIFORNIA TRAINING
FACILITY IN SOLID AT A FEW
YEARS AGO AND I. HE IS TO
REMEMBERING THAT IN. IN THE
TOUR THAT I WAS PROVIDED WHEN I
VISITED THERE. I ALSO WANT TO
FOLLOW UP WE HAD A GOOD
CONVERSATION YESTERDAY AND SOME
OF THE CONTRABAND ISSUES RAISED
BY SENATOR BATES COVERT
NINETEEN. YOU DID GO THROUGH A
VERY SPECIFIC AND DETAILED
REPORTING BY INSTITUTION DURING
OUR CONVERSATION. I DIDN'T HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE HEARING THIS MORNING OF
OUR PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE.
BUT I HAVE READ SOME REPORTS OF
SOME IN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT
GUARDS NOT WEARING MASKS EVEN
THOUGH THAT IS THE PROTOCOL IN
THE MORNING IF YOU COULD MAYBE
JUST COMMENT ON. IS THERE ANY
CONSEQUENCE OF GUARDS WERE
STAFF DON'T WEAR MASKS WHAT
WHAT ARE THE RULES AND
REGULATIONS AND HOW IS
SOMETHING LIKE THAT BROUGHT TO
YOUR ATTENTION THIS IN IN. HAVE
A WAY TO BRING THAT TO THE
ATTENTION OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
DOUBLE L. INCIDENT AS- WE HAVE
WE HAVE TODAY THIS MORNING I
THINK THAT WAS A FOURTH MEMO
THAT WAS ISSUED RELATIVE TO THE
MANDATORY WEARING OF MASS. WE
HAVE OUR CAPTAINS OUT DOING A
WEEKLY TOUR- UNDER OUR
DIRECTORS LEADER IF WE PUT
TOGETHER CAPTAIN'S CHECK LISTEN
TO OUR- AND THEY GO. AND THE
WARDENS ARE OUT WEEKLY WALK
AROUND IT'S FACT ENTIRE
MANAGING TEAMS OUT AND PACIFIC
WE WILL LOOK AT IT MAKE SURE
THAT PEOPLE ARE FOLLOWING.
THOSE COLD AT NINETEEN
PROTECTIONS AND THE MAIN THING
IS ASS IF SOMEONE IS NOT
WEARING A MASK AND IS JUST A
SLIP OF SOMETHING THAT'S ONE
THING BUT IF SOMEONE IS
RECALCITRANT AND SAYS THAT
THERE ARE OR WHERE MASTER. IT'S
JUST TOO HOT. PERSON WILL BE
HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY YOU KNOW
THE HIRING PARTY WHICH IS A
WOOD WORKING AT YOUR PRESENT.
AND IF SOMEONE WAS IS IF AN
INMATE OR A FAMILY MEMBER WAS A
SENSE SOMETHING OR ANY BY WAS
AND THAT TO ME. EMAIL WHICH I
GET A LOT OF EMAILS FROM FAMILY
MEMBERS DIFFERENT THINGS AND OF
COURSE I WOULD REFER THAT BACK
TO THE ARE WITH THE REWARDS.
AND HAVE THAT PERSON LOOK INTO
THAT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY
LEGITIMACY. LEGITIMACY TO
WHAT'S BEING SAID. WE
APPRECIATE THAT WE DID TALK
SOME ABOUT WITH THE SUSPENSION.
OF FAMILY VISIT SIR GUEST
VISITS TO INMATES AS PART OF
THE CODE. NINETEEN PROTOCOL YOU
SHARED SOME OF THE EXPANDED.
TELEPHONIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR
INMATES TO CONNECT WITH FAMILY
MEMBERS- SO THE BIGGEST.%
SUSCEPTIBILITY I WOULD GUESS IS
STAFF COMING IN AND OUT WHO
WERE. NOT CONTAINED IN THAT
INSTITUTION THEY'RE GOING HOME
TO FAMILIES AND- OUT IN THE
COMMUNITY SO. APPS THE GREATEST
RISK IN THESE INSTITUTIONS FOR.
VIRUS BEING BROUGHT IN IS
EITHER IN MAKE TRANSFER OR
STAFF IN GUARD SO JUST A LITTLE
BIT MORE ON THE- CONSEQUENCE
SINCE IT IS REQUIRED FOR GUARDS
AND STAFF TO WEAR MASKS. IN A
FULL WAS BROUGHT HERE
ATTENTION- WARDEN'S ATTENTION
FORGET FOR A BUT MORE ACTIVE
FINANCE. WOULD THERE BE A
DISCIPLINARY ACTION ASSOCIATED
WITH WITH PERSISTENT
RECALCITRANCE ON THE MASK
REQUIREMENTS. YES THERE WOULD
BE WITHIN OUR EMPLOYED THIS
PRINTER PROCESS A PERSONAL THE
FIRST OFFENSE TO BE WRITTEN ON
A EMPLOYEE COUNTING BROWN ALL
PERSON DID IT AGAIN WE WRITE
THEM A LETTER OF INSTRUCTION
AND A SOMEBODY WAS REALLY JUST
OBSTINATE RECALCITRANT AND THAT
WILL BE REFERRED FOR ADVERSE
ACTION. AN OLD WHERE SOMEONE
COULD. CERTAIN CHANNELS HE'S
PUT UPON THEM MONETARILY THAT.
WOULD AFFECT THEM. ONE THING
THAT WE DO WITH OUR STAFF IS WE
DOA LOT OF EDUCATION WAS STAFF
AND THE OFFENDER POPULATION. ON
THE SERIOUSNESS OF WHY THE NEED
TO WEAR THE MASK. WE PROVIDE
PEOPLE MASS WE ALLOW STAFF TO
WEAR MASKS THAT ARE YOU KNOW
APPROPRIATE FOR THE WORKPLACE
THAT THEY'RE COMFORTABLE WITH.
AND SO I LEAST I'M NOT AND MY
TO PRESERVE MY MISSION- THE
WARDENS AND IMAGINE TEAMS ABOUT
OUT I'VE TOURED THE PRISONERS
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE IN MASS.
AVENUE COMPLAINTS IS FROM MY
NEW PRISONS OF THAT BUT YES
THERE WILL PEOPLE WILL BE.
IMAGINE IF IN A IT'S BEEN FOR
MEMEL BUT OUT ON THE
SERIOUSNESS. AND THE MANDATE
THAT STAFF AND THAT- YA
EXTENDERS WERE MASS TO. HELP
PREVENT IT PANDEMIC ONE THING I
DID MENTION I AM NOT SURE WE
TALK ABOUT A COUPLE DAYS AGO IS
THAT WE CHECK EVERY PERSON THAT
COMES ON GROUNDS EVERY DAY NO
MATTER CONTRACTOR DELIVERING
FOOD WHATEVER IT IS WE ASK THEM
THE QUESTIONS FOR STREET. AND
WE ALSO CHECK THAT PERSON'S
TEMPERATURE IF SOMEONE SAYS YES
TO ONE OF THE SCREENING RIGHT
REPORTER TEMPERATURES ABOVE A
HUNDRED POINTS FOR. AN EFFORT
TO TURN AROUND AND THEY'RE NOT
ABOUT THE INSTITUTION. THANK
YOU AND I DO APPRECIATE THE
COMMENTS OF NATURE OF HOUSE DO
YOU NOT OR HAVE ANY. THIS ORDER.
GEN FOR STAFF OT A MASS I
BELIEVE ONE OF OUR MISSIONS
I'VE WHEN I FEAR IS OTHERS I
THINK BEEN A LETTER OF
INSTRUCTION ISSUED AND I THINK
I'M PRESENT THERE MAY BE-
SOMEONE PENDING ADVERSE ACTION
AND I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE I
THINK WE FACE THE PROBLEM.
GENERAL PUBLIC OF COURSE BUT IN
WORK PLACES I AM PARTICULARLY
IN AN INSTITUTION HOLDING. THE
PEOPLE CAPTIVE TO PAY FOR THEIR
CRIMES- THERE'S NOT A LOT OF
WIGGLE ROOM IN IN SOCIAL
DISTANCING IS EVEN MORE
CHALLENGING I THINK IF WORD IS
OUT THAT THERE IS A CONSEQUENCE
FOR NOT WEARING A MASK- THAT'S
PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE BEST
MECHANISM TO ENFORCE. SOME IT'S
CLOSE 2100% COMPLIANCE AS WE
CAN GET BUT AGAIN I THANK YOU
FOR YOUR CANDOR IN YOUR ANSWERS
AND AGAIN APPRECIATE YOUR-
YEARS OF SERVICE AND- LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN
SOME DAY SOON THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. WE'LL BE BACK RUNNING
HERE MISSION TO THANK YOU.
