Verizon unions spar over revised contract offer
Verizon Communications and its unions clash over a “revised comprehensive offer” as a strike by about 87,000 workers continues since August 6. Union leaders say the proposal fails on overtime rules, workload shifts, and job transfer limits, while Verizon calls the terms interlocking and necessary. Additionally, 4,800 Puerto Rican telephony workers support the strike with informational actions, broadening the impact across multiple states and regions.

In Lancaster a tiny lame kitten Speedy born without a pelvis gains mobility via a wheeled cart strapped to his hind end. Dr. Edwin Jeszenka, known as Dr. Jay, devised the device after a volunteer brought Speedy to Lincoln Highway Veterinary Clinic.
