In Cedar Rapids negotiations the Education Association seeks raising base pay from 11 000 to 13 200 and larger step increases for veterans. A broader view notes that nine month salaries distort comparison with private industry and that entry level raises may outpace budget realities.
The case centers on Whirlpool Marion Indiana workers who refused to step onto a dangerous wire mesh after a prior fatal fall and OSHA citations. The court will decide whether employers can dock or reprimand employees who balk at high hazard duties, balancing accepted job risks with unlawful coercion. The piece also notes broad questions about risk in high hazard occupations and potential legislative needs.
William Safire rails against New York mayor Ed Koch proposing to broadcast the names of men who patronize prostitutes on WNYC. He contrasts it with Iran and warns that public shaming replaces grown policy. He argues prostitution should not be criminalized and remains a private matter between adults.
The piece contrasts Frank Church and John Culver as liberal incumbents under pressure from conservatives. It notes 24 of 34 Senate terms expiring are Democrats, many old‑line liberals, and highlights Church’s shift toward a balanced budget stance versus Culver’s different approach amid GOP challenges.
A column critiques overuse of got and its contraction forms in writing, cites Kenwood Elementary’s Richard Manson on offensive usage, and notes broader linguistic simplification. It then surveys political commentary on SALT II, abortion funding, and liberal concerns voiced by Church Culver figures. It ends with a discussion of prostitution laws, privacy, and public policy.
A city employee writes to Marion City Council and residents arguing that public anger over garbage collection overlooks workers' humanity. He cites non waterproof containers, hazardous waste, and dangers like needle injuries and letter bombs as reasons for stricter ordinances and safer pickup practices.
Readers discuss city sanitation workers facing long hours and physical strain from frequent stops and heavy containers. The letter also defends Pope John Paul II’s traditionalist stance on moral issues and argues the papacy builds Church unity on Biblical truth.
