Daniela from Bernal Heights told me the other day about a pothole in a crosswalk in her neighborhood that never seems to get fixed and keeps getting worse. She said she is afraid a bicyclist or pedestrian is going to get seriously injured and wondered why The City has not repaired the crosswalk.

Daniela: I am glad you are alarmed. You should be. It is so important to prevent injuries and to keep people safe. Fortunately, you can turn your concern into action. You can take steps to help make San Francisco better for older people, disabled people, people on bicycles, and everyone else. You can report dangerous conditions before people are injured.

employee employment arbitration agreement

JJ writes: “Dear Mr. Dolan: I just started a new job and they made me sign an arbitration agreement. Is that okay- what does it mean?”

Dear J.J: As you have discovered, more and more often employers are requiring employees to sign arbitration agreements as part of an offer of employment. While the arbitration agreement is often mixed in with a stack of other new-hire paperwork, it is much more sinister than most of the other documents employees are asked to sign.
