Good Horse...
Authorities say a man accused of riding a horse on a freeway in Southern California was arrested for driving under the influence. The California Highway Patrol says Luis Perez of Placentia had a blood-alcohol level of more than double the legal limit when they allege he took his horse on the 91 Freeway.
Officers say the 29-year-old hoofed it into Bellflower where they arrested him.
Perez, according to police, failed a field sobriety test and was booked into jail.
The horse was unharmed, but the rider is something else....
Janus...
the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
The issue known as fair-share fees, in which workers who are covered by union-negotiated contracts have to pay a portion of the union dues, even if they are not members. These funds used to cover the costs of negotiating and enforcing a union contract. Unions say that such fees help prevent the “free rider” issue, where workers reap benefits of a unionized workplace without paying for it.
In 2015, Mark Janus, who worked at the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, sued his local union, arguing that paying fair-share fees curtailed his freedom of speech. “The union voice is not my voice, the union's fight is not my fight. But a piece of my paycheck every week still goes to the union.”
As of last year, 28 states have passed legislation known as right-to-work laws, under which workers cannot be required to pay such fees. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Janus, as it is expected to, an estimated 5 million workers in the other 22 states would be able to opt out of paying fair-share dues. That’s revenue that labor unions cannot afford to lose.
This has nothing to do with the voice or the vote, you get paid due to someone's else money spent and cost. Someone has to pay for these benefits. Shameful attempt.
