Perelman Jewish Day School teachers have been unionized for nearly four decades. Suddenly in March the schools board of directors withdrew recognition of the teachers’ union. Neither parents nor teachers had a voice in this decisions. The board met in secret for nearly a year, while refusing to sit down with the teachers’ negotiating team. Conservative Judaism is clear on workers' rights and employee unions. In a 2008 Teshuva, the Rabbinic Assembly ruled that Jewish employers are required to treat employees with respect and dignity, not interfere with union organizing and should hire union employees whenever possible. A school that teaches Jewish values should demonstrate Jewish values as well. The school should immediately reverse course and work with the teachers, rather than attacking them.

I have worked for Pizza Hut/NPC for the last 4 years. When I started, I was making full minimum whether in store or out on deliveries. Last Year in May, there were several of us in my store that were still making full minimum wage. Pizza Hut had their major meeting retreat, and when our manager came back, she informed us that we "grandfathered" drivers were being put on split-pay effective May 29, 2013. I used to be able to pay all my bills on time, but now I am late on everything due to this pay scheme. I get food stamps, but they don't help with the bills.

This petition is to hopefully HELP our unemployed Americans who so desirably need this extension please please HELP

Nea and ACLC staff want you to know there’s very little time left to settle our contract for next year.

Americans' tax dollars have paid to protect our public lands for the public interest, and for future generations. Our watersheds, airsheds, ecosystems and our own health all depend upon these lands remaining unspoiled. Local economies depend upon these lands being protected, as well. Home-grown tourism, hospitality and recreation are clean industries that supply thousands of local jobs and invest profits in the local communities instead of off-shore accounts. Protection of our public lands serves ALL citizens, and especially those who live and work near them. Allowing vigilante bullies and corporate-controlled politicians to stir up movements to wrest away these lands from the citizens who have paid to preserve and protect them from being despoiled for profit is NOT in the interests of the people of Utah nor their posterity. Nor is it in the interests of United States citizens whose taxes support these lands, nor the visitors who enjoy their unspoiled beauty, clear skies, clean water, starry nights, as well as the chance to recreate, hunt, fish, explore, and honor the ancients cultures who inhabited them.

To see how quickly it gets vetted.

ChestFest 2015 is a community fundraiser and day of celebration. Let's keep it going!

Those of us who love the beauty of Taylors Falls, Minnesota, worry about the risk to our businesses, and our more than 300,000 annual visitors, if Superior Silica Sands is allowed to transport hundreds of trucks daily through Taylors Falls to North Branch. We want North Branch to say "no" to Superior Silica Sands, and we urge Superior Silica Sands to NOT route trucks through Taylors Falls.

Many job seekers are without funds and have had to borrow from family or friends to survive. Many cannot pay rent or mortgages, and back debts mount. But, more importantly this is a failure to the thousands of job seeking Americans ( including a high percentage of veterans )who are legally due these funds. The money has been set aside and when released it will immediately flow back into the economy.

Everyone deserves a fair trial and everyone victim deserves justice.

This is a public safety issue. We need to be able to feel safe in our own community and not fear our police officers.

Lets protect Olathe's nature! Every day, as I drive to work, I notice less and less trees left. I see a new development growing up on the same place where there used to be trees. With every natural habitat that disappears, we destroy not only trees, but animals, insects and reptiles. We should stop destroying nature just for the convenience of a new housing development or strip mall. This petition is against destroying Olathe forest.
