The four Roman Catholic diocesan bishops in Massachusetts have come out against the so-called ROE Act abortion-expansion bills, calling them "deeply troubling."
"The result would become abortion on demand for the full term of pregnancy," the bishops said in a written statement Friday, through their lobbying arm, the Massachusetts Catholic Conference. "… We urge all people of good will, regardless of what faith they practice, to vigorously oppose these extreme measures."
A Chinese restaurant chain may have to pay back wages to all of the hundreds of employees it may have sent home involuntarily without paying them the equivalent of three hours' minimum wage, according to a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling.
The outcome of the case isn't decided yet, as the high court remanded it to a trial court, but it could eventually have far-reaching effects in situations where employers can't prove they complied with state wage laws, even for relatively small amounts for individual employees.
