Start. Right now we are on the bay area. It is light. It may not stay that way in many areas. Lets move along to the bay bridge toll plaza. About an eight minute dry from this point to the San Francisco side of the bridge with no major issues. If you are driving in oakland, the traffic on 880 and 580 is doing well. Its 4 30, lets go back to the desk. Topping our news and happening now thousands of commuters have to find another way to work. That is because boat captains are holding a oneday strike. Ktvu Tara Moriarty is joining us now from the larkspur ferry terminal. Reporter about 9,000 commuters that live in the north bay will have to either bike, bus, or drive into work this morning. We caught up with passengers coming off the final ferry last night. People were warned by both the captain and a note left on their seats that there would be no service today. The reason the Golden Gate Bridge district is offering 9 raises over three years. Captains want 12 because they will have to pa

The states that so is situate it says any group that doesnt get the benefit, a group that is nonpregnant, then pregnant people are any group at all . If you have a policy, im not sure what one would look like that singled out pregnant employees plus one other employee, my guess is what category of employs . A policy that is at issue here distinguishes on the job versus off the job injuries. Thats a distinction that is echoed in state and federal law. Thats a far cry from the policy that singles out pregnant women. Singling out is in the first or targeting or otherwise primarily disadvantaging. That distinction tracks what workers comp requires, which is payment for employees were injured on the job, and many employers, including the u. S. Postal service have found it advantageous to provide lightduty accommodations to their employees can be at work while they are rehabilitating and provide some Productive Work for the company.

The International Community is determined to give priority to the emergence of a method that allows for closer support of negotiations by concerned International Parties complementing and in support of the major role played by washington, the arab league, the eu, and the permanent members of this council.

You should go find him the first day their back on generate fifth and find out what they will do. The former governor of florida was kind of a mentor to rubio, came up to the state center there and a fantastic campaign that one in 2010. If rubio would announce an two weeks, i think it would be impressive. He respects jeb bush, he likes jeb bush, but he is not yielding to the older guy. It shows a kind of populist on rubios part. This may be typical of republican primaries to think that is impressive, rubio things he could do the job and jeb bush has more donors but rubios supporters have gone off to jeb bush. More of an uphill climb, but most president s become president have had uphill climbs, like clinton in 1992, president obama in 1998. If
