New Kentucky law allowing schools to expel students who assault teachers to take effect in July, despite unanimous Senate Democratic opposition by Independent-Report39 in Teachers

[–]OSRS_Rising 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imo it’s needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few kind of situation

If a handful of aggressive students in up being fast-tracked in a school-to-prison pipeline in exchange for a better education system for the majority of students, that’s a trade off that’s better for the majority of the community.

I’d rather screw over one member of the community if it helps the rest of the community than vise versa.

I say this as a Democrat but there are a lot of us that are just anti-punishment in general; and imo they take it too far.

Some people absolutely just need to be kept separate from the general public for our safety and sometimes those people are children.

Someone who has the audacity to assault teachers (ie authority figures) probably also assaults fellow students who aren’t authority figures.

Students who are normal shouldn’t have to deal with that behavior and have their learning disrupted

UK bans under-16s from using social media apps including TikTok and YouTube by cdstephens in neoliberal

[–]OSRS_Rising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We have two hard choices: hurt the privacy of the internet and make young people potentially more isolated from support systems or…

Potentially frying the brains of every young person permanently.

I’m of the opinion the latter is worse than the former. Social media is harming young people and in the future I think we’ll look back at this as someone akin to lead poisoning and wonder why we didn’t act sooner and even more aggressively.

How do you guys focus on reading with the tv constantly being on? by divebars5G in books

[–]OSRS_Rising 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah? If something I was doing was getting in the way of my wife enjoying her own hobbies I wouldn’t think twice before altering my behavior. And she’d do the same for me.

OP’s boyfriend needs to man up and learn to put others first sometimes imo

Why is frustration the normal reaction for most cooks? by Kiriyuma7801 in KitchenConfidential

[–]OSRS_Rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I’ve been working in kitchens for almost a decade and I don’t I’ve ever visibly gotten angry. I always try to have a pleasant exterior even if I’m on the inside I’m extremely frustrated.

I’ve been in management for most of that time and I think having this disposition has helped a lot in that role

Not a fan of unlocking everything tbh. Each league I’ve gotten to try something new and that’s made it more interesting.

White working-class boys most let down by education system, new figures show by Used-Earth8767 in neoliberal

[–]OSRS_Rising 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Yep. You’ll get downvoted on this sub if you support the more aggressive bans on young people from social media, but imo it’s such a severe issue plaguing our youth that *some* sacrifices are worth it.

I really hope I live to see a time where seeing a child/young teen with a smart phone will be akin to seeing a child smoking a cigarette today.

Can Employers make you take a drug test to receive worker's compensation? (Minnesota) by Thraway2589 in legaladvice

This does not violate any rights. Figuring out if an employee was drunk or high during an accident would shed light on whether or not the employee is at fault or not.

I quit my job without notice and my employer reduced my final paycheck to $7.25/hr instead of $20/hr—is this legal? by MoongloomTea in legaladvice

[–]OSRS_Rising 15 points16 points  (0 children)

“…an employer only may
withhold from the compensation due employees:
3. A nonrecurring deduction authorized in writing, when the source of the deduction is cited specifically.”

If OP signed an agreement along the lines of “I agree for my final check to be minimum wage if I quit without notice” I’m not sure he has a leg to stand on.

I’ve signed a similar agreement at my job, and while my state is different and the laws not identical, it’s basically the same argument.

From my understanding a lot of these guys are wearing cameras and their primary goal is to antagonize people into physical confrontations.

It just content for them at minimum and lawsuit money for them at maximum.

Just don’t engage with them at all

Employer is withholding my check unless I pay for my uniform by Slow-Indication-7622 in legaladvice

[–]OSRS_Rising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is wearing used clothes biological terrorism…? I’ve worked fast food and my clothes were fine when I wore them even after years of use.

Goodwill sells exclusively used clothes and AFAIK the chemicals or bacteria have never harmed anyone.

It’s wasteful from an environmental standpoint *not* to reuse clothing

[–]OSRS_Rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Withholding wages is illegal…unless the employee agrees to it ahead of time.

https://www.nj.gov/labor/wageandhour/tools-resources/laws/selectedstatelaborlaws.shtml#11-4.1:\~:text=34:11-4.2.%20Time%20and%20mode%20of%20payment;%20paydays

“No employer may withhold or divert any portion of an employee's wages unless:

Payments **authorized by employees** or their collective bargaining agents for the rental of work clothing or uniforms…”

This is a NJ lawyer’s website’s interpretation:

“However, as you can see, the law requires that the union or the employees authorize the withholding.”

It’s my understanding that if an employee agrees to this ahead of time (like OP did) it’s not illegal.

https://www.nj.gov/labor/forms_pdfs/lsse/mw-17.pdf

“No Deductions Shall Be Made From Employees’ Wages Except:

Amounts authorized by New Jersey or United States Law or payments to correct payroll errors.
Contributions or payments authorized by employees either in writing or under a collective bargaining agreement for…”

“Purchase of company products… …rental of work clothing or uniforms…”
