The ADL Has Lost Its Way. Elon Musk Is Right to Stand Up to Its Censorship | Opinion

As a young law student back in in 1987, I read an article about "human rights violations" being perpetrated by Israel in the National Law Review. Never a shrinking violet, I dashed off a letter to the editor in protest. A couple of days after it was printed, two letters arrived in my law school mailbox, both of them antisemitic and threatening. I was a bit spooked, so I called the Chicago office of the Anti-Defamation League.

Conservatives Can End Coercive Vaccine Mandates For Good. Here’s How

I can hear the libertarian rejoinder. Banning vaccine mandates is coercion. But the law is full of restraints and protections. Employers cannot make hiring decisions based on race, sex, sexual preferences, disability status, and an ever-growing list of protected classes. And there is no serious call in the conservative movement to end employment discrimination laws.

California Minimum Wage Hikes: A Noble Cause With Disastrous Consequences

That's why experts are skeptical of the new law. John-Paul Deol, Partner and Head of Employment Law at Dhillon Law Group Inc., is one of them. He thinks California workers already have plenty of protections under existing state and federal wage-and-hours laws. Thus, it's hard to see what the new law does to improve the situation.

"It is very unclear what benefit this new law adds to existing law, except to increase costs and bureaucracy," he told International Business Times in an email.

Instead, he sees the new law hurting the Golden State's businesses, especially the fast-food restaurant industry, where he thinks the $22/hour wage will force companies to leave the state or hike prices. "If businesses do not leave the state, you can bet that they will pass the high labor costs onto consumers, worsening the harm already done by inflation."

Ex-United Pilots Say Union ‘Colluded’ On Vax Mandate

In a statement to Law360 on Thursday, the pilots' counsel John-Paul S. Deol said the union "shirked its fundamental responsibility" to represent its members.

"In the face of an unfair labor practice, the union did nothing, allowing our 10 pilots to lose their jobs and livelihoods simply because of their beliefs," Deol said. "We believe the court will ultimately agree with us that the union breached its duty in failing to protect these longtime, dedicated members.

"Representatives for the union and United did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
