The workers in brooklyn are fighting for the first contract and others have been working without a contract since august. Some of these workers claim the companys attempt to outsource jobs overseas and they say the company is assigning technicians to do outofstate work and it family for months.

Like clinton, polls show she laid in new york but he is still smarting from the fact the colorado awarded all 34 delegates to ted cruz over the weekend. He is not holding a primary or a caucus.

The brooklyn state assemblyman says he is cosponsoring the bill. The assemblyman says an Israeli Company is developing the textile eyes are. He says the scanner will be able to only detect if a driver was texting but not if its able to read the text or gain access to your information. Civil Liberties Union is not convinced. I think that there is much that needs to be done and that can be done , both to address the problem and to respect the privacy rights of the drivers. Under the proposed legislation, if a driver refuses to allow them to scan their phone, they could lose their license. The assemblyman is hoping to build them before the legislature breaks for someone just playing. Time now is 519 and we have a lot more still to come.

But i believe we need to lift our vision and look to the american horizon. Can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. Where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. Where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. Where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. An america where after a lifetime of labor, there is time for rest and grandchildren.
