• Unions win in politics, while they lose members

  02-09-2019 23:59
  
  One of the more curious anomalies about California is that while labor unions’ political power has increased to virtual hegemony, especially in the last decade, union membership has declined just as sharply.
  On Labor Day 2019, one can only wonder whether both trends will continue and if so, what the eventual outcome will be.
  Labor’s ever-increasing political influence, from the smallest school district to the Legislature and statewide offices, including the governorship, is an uncont

• Angels’ Shohei Ohtani still trying to get the ball up and over the fence

  OAKLAND — Shohei Ohtani’s second season in the majors is heading into the homestretch with the same question that’s been dogging him for months.
  Where are the home runs?
  Ohtani built a reputation as an exceptional power hitter on his way to winning the Rookie of the Year last year. The Angels’ two-way star belted 22 homers in 326 at-bats, in addition to an assortment of epic, scoreboard-reaching blasts in batting practice.
  This year? Not so much.

  Either incompetence or tragedy precedes the call for a backup quarterback. In the case of Kedon Slovis, it was the latter. A season-ending ACL tear took USC starting quarterback JT Daniels off the field Saturday against Fresno State, leaving the true freshman Slovis to pick up the pieces.
  Only, Slovis didn’t get started right away. Because of the timing of the injury, he had to wait until after halftime before he could step onto the field and play his first collegiate snap. In the locker r

  Entry-level teachers in the Los Angeles-Orange counties area will spend 85.1% of their salary to afford a median-priced apartment or home rental this school year, according to a new Zillow analysis.
  That’s well beyond the 30% the industry has long recommend should go toward housing.

• Unions versus opportunity cost

  Labor Day has become a government-sponsored PSA that unions use to take credit for every worker gain and offer unionization as the answer to every worker complaint. Near the top of their annual cornucopia of claims is always that union efforts to raise their workers’ wages raise everyone’s wages. Unfortunately, that claim violates one of the most central aspects of economics—the principle of opportunity cost.
