Hookers and Hummus
Did anyone see on the news about the Hookers that robbed the Supermarket and all they stole was pita chips and Hummus?/ Of all things to steal...Pita chips? I understand that hummus is freakin awesome but why Pita chips.... at least go for the smokes or some booze ... even money.
Did anyone else hear about this story? Kinda odd?
Aisle be back: Serial shoplifter heads out on stealing spree... hours after he appears in court accused of theft:'I lived on hummus and radishes! ... action against prostitute in bid to unravel
A real news story ..!
Workers who were fired by a Brooklyn kosher food producer after demanding overtime pay have been protesting outside the owner’s house and a supermarket this summer, and preparing for a return to the National Labor Relations Board this fall.
Flaum Appetizing, Inc., a producer of kosher salads, pickles, and smoked fish, has been embroiled in the dispute since it fired17 immigrant workers in May 2008. The terminated workers had complained about working conditions and demanded to be paid overtime after working 60 to 80 hours a week. The NLRB ruled that Flaum had violated the workers’ rights, and ordered their reinstatement with back pay. Flaum has not complied, and a NLRB hearing is set for September 21.
“Our belief is that if you work, if you sweat and deliver a service, you’re entitled to have your legal rights protected, and that includes payment for your work,” said Daniel Gross, executive director of Brandworkers International, a not-for-profit organization that advocates workers’ rights and has taken up the cause along with the Industrial Workers of the World union.
“The [fired] workers are currently very active on the streets, and we seek dialogue, but we are also not afraid to fight,” Gross said.
Flaum Herring Flaum representatives had no comment when contacted by the Forward.
According to the NLRB, after the IWW first contacted the workers in August 2007, Flaum offered them paid holidays and office perks, like a water cooler and refrigerator. Flaum also threatened the workers with “immigration problems” if they unionized. Additionally, in an effort to prevent the employees from suing for back pay of overtime wages, Flaum administrators called the workers into their offices, one by one, and asked for signatures on a release form that would offer $375 for settling the issue without a lawsuit.
