opportunity. >> it is a brand-new fitness craze inspired by military training. >> you can rock on a dog walk, you can rock in between your kids baseball games. >> so, what exactly is it? vern puts on the backpack and gave it a try. >> this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich. thank you for joining us at 7:00. if you are at the local post office or they come to your home to deliver your mail, postal workers are part of our neighborhoods, you may know them by name. recently they have become targets of for thieves. some cases attacked on the job. right now the postal service is trying to fill 600 positions, it held a job fair today. amanda caught up with jada an applicant who is holding out for a new career

despite the occupational hazards. >> reporter: managers with the united states postal service say they are looking to hire as many people as possible. they say they are understaffed. meaning many people have to work overtime, leaving them tired and possibly more at risk. >> we are hiring. >> help us out. >> it is a good job that you have had for a long time >> stopping by the postoffice to send out a pack when she stumbled on the career fair. she took her chances >> i was told there are a lot of opportunities for career advancement. i have a good relationship with the carriers in my community. i figured it would be a good wait to get some work experience and like be connected to the community. >> reporter: she is looking for a job that has the potential to become a career. that working for usps fits the bill. right

now, post office operation manager says they don't have enough staff to work efficiently and working to fill hundreds of positions for essential employees >> we have a lot going on. mail handler, clerks, custodians and carriers. we are hiring right now. [ screaming ] . >> reporter: there is surveillance video from an alleged robbery that took place in oakland last month. usps says the suspect did not take any mail just the postal keys. those keys can be used to open potentially thousands of mail boxes. they try to give their employees training to hopefully avoid becoming victims of mail theft >> when we hire people that is the first thing we do. we make sure they know about safety, they have training, we make it a point to be with the new carriers every day for the first two weeks and then after that, every week until probation. >> reporter: usps says mail theft is a federal and state

crime. they offer a $150,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of a suspect in these types of cases. but, she says she will not let these incidents stop her from pursuing a career with usps. >> i hope that my life is not like, you know, be effected by it. but i think, it is something that like you have to assess risk with anything that you do. i think it would have to be a fluke sort of thing. >> reporter: applicants can still apply on usps website. they are hopeful if they can get more people hired soon so the people they already have are not overworked. >> amanda, thank you. in response to the thefts and the attacks the postal service rolled out a number of changes including higher security mail boxes and electric locks to prevent the need for those keys that thieves are often after. >> all right, happening right now the oakland city council is

meeting right now. one pressing order of business, approving a contract for oakland's new police chief. so, when all is said and done floyd mitchell could make $350,000. he was introduced to the oaklanders at the end of last month. no word a month later when he will be sworn in. meanwhile, the county supervisors just voted to approve the final signature count on the recall campaign against da price. now the supervisors have to vote on when this recall will be held. they are set to meet again on may 14th to decide to hold a special election or put the recall on the ballot. we heard from both sides ahead of today's meeting. >> this is where the supervisors are meeting today. it is also where both sides, supporters and opponents of the recall rallied and protested ahead of the meeting. both

sides demanding different things. [ crowd chanting ] . >> reporter: it was a war of words in the plaza outside of the administration building. supporters of district attorney pamela price, attempting to drowned out a rally boy those wanting to remove her from office >> you guy his your chance. this is our press conference. this is for the victims. the victims are here. please stand for the victims. [ crowd chanting ] . >> that shows you right there. and so are we. we are the people as well. >> reporter: current district attorney pamela price called on the board of supervisors to block a recall election that could possibly take her out was office. >> we are calling upon the board to reject this illegal effort, thisil funded effort,

this misguided effort. >> reporter: current da price questioned the recall campaign from fundraising to signature gathering and even how the county registrar managed the process. >> the registrar is trying to conduct an illegal election. i don't know what his motivation is. >> reporter: as far as the motive for the recall, she says it is because she is the first black woman to hold the office >> this is not about public safety. it does not appear to have a basis other than racism. >> i am african american, my name is first on the recall petition. line number one, my name. >> dprks risham is a member of the recall effort. today they were calling onsetting a special election to let voters decide if price should stay in office. >> we are not going to wait eight months for a recall opportunity. we are not going to do it.

>> reporter: a special election in august would cost $15-$20 million. the other option is to put it on the november ballot during the general election. >> i don't care about the money i care about the justice. i care about other people behind me getting their justice, too. >> obviously tensions running high on both sides today. now, if the supervisors allow the recall effort to go forward and if the da is recalled, supervisors will be the ones to appoint a new da until the next general election. now, price's office requested a formal investigation into the funding of the recall campaign. california's fair political practices commission says they will investigate as the agency does wherever a request of this sort is made. all right, let's go to new york. the police have been given permission to enter columbia university to put an end to the ongoing protest on campus. students were alerted by the university to shelter in place and avoid the campus until further notice. arrests have been already made as

demonstrators locked themselves into a campus building, renaming it heinz hall in honor of a 6-year-old palestinian girl who died in gaza three months ago. they smashed the buildings, the windows there, boarded furniture against its doors. the university says students occupying the building will face expulsion. it is no longer a debate about students reasons or cause but their actions. all right, so, let's take you now to new york where you can see just outside where the new york pd moved in on the columbia university. you can see, let's see if i am looking at live pictures right now. umbrellas there, actually. what we were looking at earlier was the officer seen driving an emergency service unit to reach a window of the hall. right now it looks calm in this live picture but we have seen dozens of officers some in riot gear entering the building through a window. students were seen brought out in handcuffs,

unclear, though, right now, how many arrests have been made at this time. again, nypd moving in. from these live pictures, obviously, people with umbrellas in hand. we are going to continue to follow this and have cameras on the scene throughout the evening as well should there be more developments on this. all right, here in california, san diego is the latest college to join the nationwide protest. students walked out of class into a rally this afternoon. demands that the university cut financial ties with israel and acknowledge the war in gaza as genocide. meanwhile, across the bay. protests on college campuses are still going strong and have been relatively peaceful so far. some of the universities have said they will respect student's rights to peacefully protest and work to keep them and the rest of their campus safe. >> those bead bandits, stealing a col-- those bee bandits that

. welcome back. the biden administration plans to ease restrictions on marijuana. they could reclassify the drug as a lower risk substance. they could recognize the medical uses of cannabis. it would not legalize marijuana outright for recreational use. it would move

marijuana from the current classcasion as classification to a category 1. it is not clear what you it would mean for the state where pot is already legal for recreational use >> there is some speculation that the dea or some other federal agency might come out with guidance for states about how their state legal markets would be treated under these new federal laws. but really we don't know and will not know for awhile. so, the dea proposal would be the biggest policy change in more than 50 years. coming up at 8:00 on pix plus. we talked to a local dispensary about how the policy could be a big boost for businesses on the ground. >> all right, there are so many
