Kids are vaccinated they're not at risk is that correct pretty much but there in my own kids that can't get vaccinations because they have an allergy. To what's in the valley Yeah well in some of these things they're only like 607080 percent effective or they were off after a few Yeah that's what I've heard so even if you do have your kids vaccinated they could still be susceptible but if you have a herd mentality where 95 percent of the population's vaccinated the chances are very very very low rather we don't have that no County declared a state of emergency for the region which is reported $150.00 cases of measles since October of last year the ban follows last month's decision by a federal judge to deny requests from parents to allow $44.00 unvaccinated children into Rockland County Schools I'm with the county I'm with the county to get your thoughts or don't go to school speaking of shots you want to shot of the 1000 bucks I do all right well you don't have a shot but our listeners do have a 90 k.

And it's not very expensive that's the other thing it's like if you get in a cab sometimes it cost an arm and a leg to go somewhere and maybe they're reliable maybe they're not with lift I've found that they've been very reliable over the years and it's much cheaper than calling the Yellow Cab people like it also if your ways did you get out you just you don't have to tell them an address you just you know they know your home address or if you're heading out to you just punch in the name of the place and it comes up you know have to worry about a lot of people at the end of a night if they are in a bar when you call a cab and you're like what's the number what's the address here that you got to pick me up out that life is made so much easier with no cash exchanged there's so many benefits to Hoover when I was in New York last year in November I remember getting a cab because it's hard to use in New York but cabs are everywhere so you go from using Goober left here to cabs in New York and I get in the cab and you sit in the back seat he says we're where you go and and then I'd say I don't know spark steakhouse there is that of course. Is that well I don't know you live here I don't when you tell me well tell me where to go Yeah 56 straight 56 Street and what. Everyone knows sparks that was a horrible example because everybody don't know that one would be surprised I would say. 75 percent of the time I get the cab and tell them where I was going they have no clue where they are as guess and I would have to get on my fault I would sit there in the cab and look it up and tell them you're not one to take the trains there are no i don't like the subways hitting me yeah me too I mean I literally I have an anxiety attack just looking at the map of all the different trains on the routes that gives me such anxiety if I live there I would imagine I've learned Oh of course you would you'd have a town a lot of people who live there my friend who lived he was born and raised here in Tarzana went to school here he's was a producer on Goodale a then he graduated up we now he's an h.d.t.v. And he's practically running it and he had a house in Sherman Oaks and once he got the gig in New York he moved but he kept his house his car and everything here and I said How are you going to just to that lifestyle he said I just will and now he's the vice president up there he's got this incredible house that overlooks the Statue of Liberty and are not the Empire State Building and he said to me I have not driven a car in my 10 years of being here I will never drive a car I know the system so well that to have a car is such a waste of time in New York because you can't get around fast enough you know in the time it takes me in a cab in New York or even a noob or you could be where you need to be in the system in the in the subway system well while you and I prefer I love it doesn't mean without its problems and it looks like there could be a battle between the drivers and the company where there is about this battle could spill over into our apps and affecting our abilities to take these cars because drivers recently had a rally outside the right hailing companies Redondo Beach offices in response to a recent wage cut announced earlier this month hundreds of drivers for both live joined a 25 hour strike organized by the right chair drivers United which is a coalition of Southern Calif. Or Nya right hailing driver's ed form last year the action followed a recent wage restructuring for l.a. Area drivers that reduced per mile rates by 25 percent while raising per mile rate 16 percent those changes reversed to September decision by the company to increase per mile charges Joining us to talk about this is a driver who works for both Ober and left Good morning Keith good morning Keith thanks for joining us certainly Good morning John joiner and we are good you know we've been following it over and live since the inception and we've been very much promoters of of Hoover we had on who was it was an assemblyman Honda Reds who wanted to keep him out of l.a. He wanted to keep Hoover out of l.a. And especially at the airports and we were fighting with them and it's because they wanted to regulate but that was outside of Hooper Now you guys have your own issues within the company tell us more about that and what we can do to help because we love it. Certainly well as you said we have a 25 percent cut in the mileage rate which had the effect of causing drivers have to spend more time on the road in order to make the same amount of money list of people away from their families longer they would have liked to. Road later than they would like to be when the other problems were suffering is suspensions and. Terminations loss of access to the platform because of complaints by passengers and what we're finding is because uber gives automatic refunds to some of the passengers who make some more severe complaints finding that passengers have a tendency to make a false complaint just so they can get the automatic refund. Some women think about John and I are on this rider is in are over right like I've always been trying to scam the snow I have never made a terrible light there are a couple sides I could have on a money yeah but you know I try to just handle my problems by mysel me to meet him but yeah there are scammers out there go ahead to be sorry we also have a problem with goobers been charging passengers more but telling us about the same or we could cut less that used to be that. The passenger side of the driver earns the fare and passengers drive a parent. Who would take 25 percent commission lifted to 25 percent commission and now it's going on as we were left to tell the driver Ok We're going to pay you at this rate for actual work done but then they turn to the passenger and say all right if you want to get from point a to point b. Here's your price but what they're able to do is to add that price a little bit and in some cases that could be as much as. You were maybe taking as much as 30405060 percent from the passenger leaving us with the rest so we're doing the same work the passengers paying more and we're not enjoying that. The increase in essence is paying so where do you see this going. Well right now we've been continuing to use the actions we've had to build membership and. Gain. Credibility with labor organizations and politicians policy makers as well as other drivers and so we're able to. For example get meetings with policy makers. Labor organizations are returning our phone calls and we're having a we're able to have a voice now in legislation that's being crafted that will affect who is a employee and who is a good kind of the worker and that's something we hadn't had drivers which is one of the concerns Ok Are you an employee of labor and left or you an independent contractor been need talk to him if they were independent contractors. By definition of the dynamics Court ruling last year by the California Supreme Court. Were actually employees whoever that picked that decision is being appealed and the legislation is being crafted right now to further define who is and who is and what do you do like if you were an employee you would get you know benefits and things like that so what do you think you fall under the what category. Personally I'd like to have enough I'd like to be making enough money to support myself and my health insurance stuff up for my family be able to fund my Ira account have healthy seems to have helped brokerage account the prospect of being an employee. Wheezed me wondering what that's going to be like drivers enjoy the freedom of setting our own hours working for whatever they company they want to in a moments notice the independence there that I would employ of k b c And they tell me I'm on the air every morning from 6 to 10 o'clock and they make the schedule I don't but so I can't just show up to work and say well I want to do noon the 3 day you tried that once and that was funny and if I wanted to go across the street and work for a competitor and do afternoons over there I couldn't do that either because my employer dictates the terms of my employment right but in within that you have certain comforts so you know you know you what salary you're going to get whereas you have freedom but you know where they were you don't know but there's a tradeoff there if I get on a plane work whenever I want to work there's a trade off then then that a lot to be certain freedom that I wouldn't otherwise get I was a regular right if I'm a regular employee I can go ahead moonlight elsewhere and make my own hours. Yeah whatever. Limit he benefits an employer has the right to organize and engage in collective bargaining so if we can get a contract that maintains the freedoms that we enjoy that's a path we want to follow but. It's all compare and there that are unknown as you how this is going to play out but we are in sense and having a voice in what happens All right Keith who is an employee for both and left thank you so much for stop by this yes we appreciate it Keith. So much pleasure all right not pleasure we don't get that you know we eat junk we'll take it but what pleasure thank you Bill Thomas how pleasurable this morning as I am very very pleasurable at all it's been a disaster all morning long as you know traffic of day sponsored by stable sadly just before 5 this morning one person killed in a crash for a 5 North Harbor Boulevard the cleanup continues here the investigation's about to wrap up but for now carpool and the 3 left lanes are taken away the immediate backup starts at the old for a while with a 4 or 5 splits off from Interstate 5 so stick with the 5 northbound coming up from the y.
