Professor John Logan Interviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle and KQED on San Francisco Labor Relations and the Farmworker Movement
John Logan, Professor and Program Director of Labor and Employment Studies at San Francisco State University, recently shared his expertise in the San Francisco Chronicle and KQED on two significant issues shaping San Francisco.
In the San Francisco Chronicle, Logan commented on Mayor Daniel Lurie's increasingly tense relationship with San Francisco's labor movement. Lurie's administration announced plans to eliminate at least 500 city positions to help close a nearly $900 million budget deficit. Logan noted that Lurie's limited background in labor relations sets him apart from previous mayors, warning that his administration will need to learn how to engage with unions as a partner rather than an obstacle.
In KQED, Logan addressed the growing controversy surrounding Cesar Chavez Street following disturbing abuse allegations against the late labor leader. Logan emphasized the importance of honoring the legacy of the farmworker and Chicano civil rights movements without Chavez as its figurehead.
