A lifeline for the ferries? We sure hope so: now that the proposal for our local government to take over the system has been nixed, NY Waterway's competitors have put together a plan to keep our ferries running. posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @8:18 PM	11.12.04
Ferry bad news... ...for, and from, NY Waterway. Will the Port Authority come to the rescue? Somebody, please: save our ferries. We have to maintain some way of getting across the river without going under it. NY Water Taxi? posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @8:04 PM	10.12.04
Equal protection under the law is on the march In Canada. In Israel. In New Zealand. In South Africa. With some encouraging signs in California, and maybe even in New Jersey. And that's just this week. Wondering why marriage equality matters? Here in the United States -- even in Massachusetts -- there are still 1,138 federal protections reserved for heterosexuals only. posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @6:06 PM	9.12.04
Today's sermon... ...is from Cousin Buddy Don. About all I can add is "Amen." (Two days after taking the comments off this blog, I'm still inundated with comment spam. Hope it subsides soon.) posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @5:38 PM	8.12.04
Overtime battle over We lost. This just in from the Working Families E-Activist Network: It was a long and hard fight but on Nov. 18, facing a presidential veto threat, Republican members of Congress removed important overtime pay protections from final 2005 spending bills. You made a big difference with your letters pressuring Congress to pass overtime pay protections. We won votes, but the Bush administration threatened to veto any bill reversing its overtime pay take-away. Facing a government shutdown, members of Congress removed the overtime pay protections from the legislation. Losing this important vote on overtime pay is a disappointing setback. We all worked hard, we won votes in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, but in the end President George W. Bush and congressional Republican leaders got their way. Things look like they may get worse before they get better. The Bush administration and Republicans in Congress weren't content to take overtime pay rights from some 6 million workers. Now, they're reviving the second part of their two-pronged assault on workers' paychecks. This new pay cut would mean that employers would no longer have to pay extra for overtime work. Instead, they would be able to offer time off in lieu of pay--kind of ridiculous, since it lets the boss decide if and when you ever can take any time off. We'll keep you up to date on what is going on and where the fight will continue--including in state legislatures, the courts and in Congress. A number of states have laws better than the Bush administration's overtime rules. Activists in other states will be pushing for reforms to strengthen and restore overtime pay protections. We'll let you know when your action is needed to help enact these protections. For now, the most important thing we can do is to give you, your family, friends and colleagues some tools to protect your rights, including Working America's overtime pay survey. Remember: The best ways to protect your right to overtime pay is in a union contract. How to Know if You're Entitled to Overtime Pay If you are unsure whether you could be "exempt" from receiving overtime pay under new Bush administration overtime rules, find out using Working America's overtime pay survey. Fortunately for Garden State workers, New Jersey's protection of overtime pay remains in place. posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @8:07 PM	7.12.04
No comments... ...for now, anyway. The comment spammers have continued their attack, so I've taken down the Enetation comments and will soon (I hope) have comments available again through Blogger. Thanks for your patience. If you want to reach me in the meantime, just click on my name. posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @10:26 AM	6.12.04
Thank you, United Church of Christ "Jesus didn't turn people away" -- our major television networks found that message so offensive they were even willing to turn away money to keep it off the air. Talking lizards, beer, overpriced medications that cause more problems than they solve -- those are all acceptable messages. posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @9:16 AM	5.12.04
