WASHINGTON -- After impounding the ballots for more than a year, federal officials last week tallied the votes in an acrimonious union election at Taylor Farms Pacific, a California vegetable producer that supplies garnishes to major fast-food companies. According to the preliminary count, the Teamsters narrowly lost the election, with workers voting 168 to 154 against the union. But the nearly two-year saga at the company's production facilities in Tracy, California, isn't over yet.

  • Letters: Vague school choice amendment could harm homeschool families like ours
    Denver Post, Friday - 09/20/2024 - 07:04 AM

    School choice measure could harm homeschool families As homeschool parents in Colorado, we oppose the so-called “school-choice” ballot measure, Amendment 80. Although the language of the measure is left intentionally vague, part of it could be read to demand that state government further regulate homeschool families, as well as private and charter schools, in the name of the government’s vision of a “quality education.” As homeschool parents who best know our children and their unique needs and interests, we care passionately about providing a quality education to them.

    Presidential candidate Donald Trump declared his intention to visit Aurora in the coming weeks. If the former president’s own words are any indication, we can expect speeches filled with ugly invective and continued falsehoods about our city and its residents.

    Denver Post, Friday - 09/20/2024 - 06:30 AM

    Dear Eric: My husband thinks husbands and wives shouldn’t travel separately unless absolutely necessary, that solo trips just open the door for all kinds of issues such as infidelity. (He’s speaking from personal experience.) As a travel agent, I’d often enjoyed solo travel before we were married, including while we were dating, and I miss it.

    Ed Sullivan a former gossip columnist suddenly was the premier variety show host on Sunday evenings in the late 1940's. His wooden and stiff persona worked well for the type of program the network was looking for. Sullivan had already promised to not put the young singer on his program, ever.
