Whole Foods employees are protesting their working conditions. They staged a mass “sick out” on Tuesday. The group tweeted a list of requests for Amazon – which owns Whole Foods. It included guaranteed paid-leave for workers who self-quarantine, health care coverage for part-time and seasonal workers, and “hazard pay” that’s double what they normally are paid during scheduled hours. Whole Foods has boosted pay by an hour, but workers say that’s not enough. "Hazard pay" is extra compensation when employees are required to work in potentially dangerous conditions. Human resources experts say it's something that wouldn't normally be considered for grocery store or warehouse workers. That's changing because of the pandemic."The risk is elevated and it’s elevated now for way more jobs than we ever planned for,” said Scott Cawood, CEO of World at Work. “Like I said, working at a grocery store, we’re coming into contact with the public. Any of these jobs right now have bumped up the elevation of the dangerous level and would fit into what we think of hazard pay."Some workers at these essential businesses are already receiving “hazard pay.” Big companies like Costco, Target and Walmart are giving employees extra cash. Others are looking at different ways to help."We’ve seen organizations, for example, sending toilet paper to employees, new childcare funds coming open, different types of bonuses being put in place to help,” said Cawood. “We’ve got transportation allowances happening all over. Many benefits that are happening right now are outside the traditional scope because this is such an extreme situation."While many workers welcome the additional pay, some still don't feel comfortable going to work.Congress is working on legislation that would allow employees to refuse hazard pay, but still be able to come back to work after this health crisis. 1887

WELCH, West Virginia – In southern West Virginia, in the heart of the mountains, is God and coal country. “You’re deep in Appalachian Mountains here,” said Jay Chatman, a longtime resident of Welch. “I guess a lot of people feel like the mountains is a protective thing, you know.”The Town of Welch is in McDowell County, which once produced more than any other county in West Virginia. “Coal is the only thing that’s got McDowell County still on the map,” said Tina McNeely, a longtime resident of Welch. “The only reason we’re still here is because of the coal industry.”The Town of Welch was established in the late 1800s, and it was built on coal. “It was like a little New York, it was amazing,” said Chatman, who also is one of the town’s historians. “There 34 restaurants in Welch, three car dealerships, three movie theaters, two magazine shops, and in September 1941, they build the first parking garage in the United States that is still standing today.” All of this was possible through the coal companies that mined in the town for generations. Welch was the American dream, and it is filled with generations of coal miners. “A person doesn’t know what it means until you go underground and can’t get out without that elevator,” said Richard Evans, a resident of McDowell County. “You’re going to learn real quick.”Evans worked in a coal mine one summer when he was younger, and said he found out it wasn’t for him. “You just go in and you ride a buggy down and you go to work,” he recalled. “Then you ride it out, and you hope you can get out. I’ve seen them come and see them go. I’ve lost a lot of friends who worked in the mines.” “My father was a miner,” said Ann Turlet, the owner of the arts center in Welch. “He mined for 35 years. He died young of the black lung. Coal mining is important to this area, and coal mining is what took care of my mother when my father passed.” Everyone in Welch is connected through coal somehow. “My daddy was a coal miner all my life,” McNeely said. “I’m the baby of thirteen kids, and he raised all of us shoveling coal. And I’m talking back in the day when you dug coal with a number four coal shovel and used jackasses to haul your coal up there with buggies.” The rest of the country took billions of dollars out of the mountains over the decades, and at one point, McDowell County produced the most coal out of any other county in West Virginia. At its peak, the county was home to more than 100,000. “At one time, the world beckoned the door of McDowell because of the technology and the coal mining here,” Chatman said. “It’s these men busting their humps every day that’s keeping this county and the town of Welch alive,” McNeely said. “Without the coal this county has nothing.” According to the West Virginia Coal Association, some regulations brought hard times to West Virginia. “Twenty to 30 percent of electricity used in the country is made from coal,” said Jason Bostic, the vice president of the WVCA. “The one regulation restriction that has been a deep cut – almost fatal and has been fatal to certain parts of the state and operations were changes to the clean air act regulations related to mercury control.” From 2008 to 2016, coal production plummeted from 166 million tons to 85 million in West Virginia, according to the WCVA. “For the last 10 to 15 years, coal mines were closing left and right,” Evans said. “There’s about 535 that have closed, but we’re estimating about 600 closing,” Bostic said. The Trump administration announced the repeal of a major Obama-era clean water regulation that had placed limits on polluting chemicals that could be used near streams, wetlands and other bodies of water.The rollback of the 2015 measure, known as the Waters of the United States rule, adds to a lengthy list of environmental rules that the administration has worked to weaken or undo over the past two and a half years. Those efforts have focused heavily on eliminating restrictions on fossil fuel pollution, including coal-fired power plants, automobile tailpipes, and oil and gas leaks, but have also touched on asbestos and pesticides.Coal production has now been on a small rise from 2016, up to 99 million tons in West Virginia as of 2019, according to the WCVA. “If you stay out of West Virginia’s way, we think the coal industry will stabilize,” Bostic said. “It’s not ever going to be nearly what it was, but we think that coal we produce will be of higher value.” Outside of the mountains, those living in McDowell county believe there is a perception of them. “They think we’re ignorant,” McNeeley said. “Honey we’re just as educated as anybody else.” “Most of us realize that coal isn’t going to be our economic driver,” Turlet said. “It can be what it can be, but it will not be the thing that lifts us out of where we are.”With coal now producing better than it was years ago, those living here think now is the time to rebuild the home they love. “That’s where we diversify to history, and tourism,” Chatman said. “There’s always lots of ideas, just picking one and picking another and just building on what we have is the challenge,” Turlet said. 5160

What does our future hold in terms of how our information is collected? How can we know our information is safe?It's a question people at SRI International are trying to answer. SRI is a research non-profit located in Silicon Valley that's helping to develop technology that become staples of everyday life, like the computer mouse and the technology behind Siri.“I really enjoy being part of the future, trying to imagine what the future is and live in that future as much as possible," says SRI's Patrick Lincoln.Lincoln is the Director of the Computer Science Laboratory at SRI. He and his team work to understand security and privacy aspects of the "internet of things.""The internet of things is growing world where everything is a computer,” Lincoln explains. “Where your refrigerator and your car [are] a computer.”Lincoln says with that growing world he believes there is more recognition that computer security matters and private information should stay private. "There are, unfortunately, threats to that based on the vulnerabilities out there in the world and your devices and as well as the internet,” he says.He says giving the guarantee of security in today's world is hard, but he's optimistic progress can be made towards that goal. “The good news is there’s brilliant people engaged in this topic, trying to understand the concerns and identify ways to move forward and provide security and privacy for people’s data out there in the internet,” Lincoln says. “There is a great deal of progress being reported in academic conferences in how we encrypt data and yet protect the privacy of the data that’s used.” 1639

Victor, Colorado is a historic town known for the Gold Rush where the town thrived in the late 1800s. However, the town is starting to move into a new golden era dedicated to preserving the city’s history. “Victor has a tendency to enchant people as soon as they enter the town,” said Becky Frank, who works for the city. “You can tell it has this feeling of ‘what is this place?’” Victor appears to be a place frozen in time, but those who live there like it that way. “Victor is kind of stuck,” said Karen Morrison, who owns the Victor Trading Post with her husband. “But it tends to captivate your imagination of what was here, and makes you wonder what could be here.”The small town is full of authentic history. Ghosts of the town are still here –-the headframes of gold mines hang above Victor reminding it of its roots. “It’s the site of the largest gold strike in Colorado, and it’s still mining to this day,” said Adam Zimmerli, the owner of the Monarch Hotel. “Victor was the historic mining community,” Frank said. “The gold camp was here, where all the miners lived at the turn of the century when gold was discovered here.The town at its peak during the gold rush had more than 18,000 people living in Victor. When mining stopped, people left. But when it resumed in 1990, things weren’t as vibrant as back in the day. “Our current population in Victor is about 400-year-round residents,” Frank said. While thousands of people left, all the buildings stayed. “We’re kind of stuck in the 1900s,” Morrison said. “That’s when our building was built after the fire.”Morrison owns Victor Trading Post where her and her husband are most famous for handmaking brooms. “We’ve lived here for 29 years,” Morrison said. “The shakers came up with this broom making in the 1790s. We can make brooms the same way because they were good.” Tradition, like Morrison’s, can be found on every corner in Victor. “We have lived here for 19 years,” said Gertrude Wuellner, the owner of Gold Camp Bakery. “My husband is German as well, and we came up to Victor on a visit and decided if we ever got those visas, we would move up here. It was the mining history and the area that made us move up here.” Victor is trying to progress its town by keeping things the same. The historic buildings are now occupied with current businesses to help keep things more authentic in the community. The 125-year-old town has put in million in improvements in the town and preservation of historic buildings. “A building that is occupied is maintained better,” Frank said. “It’s got a life to it that the empty building don’t have. And we have played some creative strategies to make that happen.” Zimmerli is one example of that creative strategy. “The building I owned was originally a saloon, brothel and casino when it was built in 1899,” Zimmerli said. “It was advertised as the finest gentlemen’s club west of the Mississippi. Now, it’s a hotel I owned, and we are continuing to expand into the building for more rooms.” Victor is now trying to stay on this path of preservation. For those who live here, it’s not about new development but preservation to remain stuck in time. “There was never enough money to modernize it in the sixties and seventies,” Morrison said. Now, people appreciate the history and the heritage, and the old buildings. We get a lot of people coming up here because of the history, and that Victor hasn’t changed a whole lot.” 3458
