A black police officer and the white former mayor of America's largest city are making headlines this week on the heels of Thursday's massacre at a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas after both openly questioned the premises of the popular protest movement.
A heartfelt Facebook post by Brooklyn native and Florida police officer Jay Stalien, questioning whether the BLM movement cares about the lives of black police officers, went viral this week after it was picked up and posted by several conservative web-sites. In his lengthy post, Stalien, who did a stint on Baltimore police force before joining the force in Riviera Beach, Fla., explains that why he chose a career in law enforcement:
BOSTON — A bill that aims to close the so-called wage gap by increasing transparency and establishing guidelines for courts adjudicating claims of wage discrimination could become law this summer.
The bill (HB 1733), currently being reviewed by the Massachusetts House Committee on Ways and Means, would outlaw employer policies that ban employees from sharing compensation information. The Massachusetts Senate unanimously passed a similar measure in January (SB 2107).
