L’advocat penalista Marc Molins, que defensa el menor d’edat agredit per agents de la policia nacional espanyola als afores de l’estadi Martínez Valero d’Elx, ha parlat per primera vegada del cas aquest matí a 'El suplement', de Catalunya Ràdio. Segons Molins, els agents implicats en la requisa de l’estelada i en la posterior intervenció “podrien perdre la feina”. Els fets van tenir lloc el 23 d’agost, abans del partit Elx-Barça. Un jove soci del club, menor d’edat, intentava entrar a l’estadi amb una estelada quan agents del cos de la policia li van confiscar la bandera. Les imatges, enregistrades per aficionats i difoses àmpliament, mostren com el noi és apartat del grup, colpejat amb porres i reduït a terra, on continua rebent cops, inclòs un de colze traïdor a la cara. El menor va passar la nit a comissaria amb múltiples contusions i s’enfronta a un càrrec d’atemptat contra l’autoritat, tot i que encara no ha rebut notificació oficial de la Fiscalia de Menors. El FC Barcelona va condemnar immediatament l’actuació policial, va recordar que l’estelada és un símbol legal i una expressió legítima de llibertat d’expressió, i es va posar a disposició de la família. Dies després, el club va anunciar que assumiria la defensa jurídica del jove, a càrrec de Marc Molins, un dels penalistes de referència a Catalunya. El mateix president, Joan Laporta, va telefonar personalment el menor per oferir-li suport. Amnistia Internacional també va denunciar l’ús excessiu de la força i va considerar que les imatges no són compatibles amb els estàndards internacionals. L’organització va recordar que exhibir una estelada no constitueix incitació a la violència ni a l’odi. El Ministeri de l’Interior va obrir una informació reservada i el ministre Fernando Grande-Marlaska va admetre un possible “ús desproporcionat de la força”. A Catalunya Ràdio, Molins ha insistit que les imatges són clares i que les conseqüències disciplinàries per als agents poden ser greus, fins i tot la pèrdua del lloc de treball.    "Els policies que van prendre l'estelada al jove culer d'Elx podrien perdre la feina."

Every Labor Day, union officials tout themselves as the voice of working people. But what happens when workers talk back? New York public employees have found themselves in union officials’ crosshairs for asking difficult questions, challenging the status quo, or trying to exercise their rights. Ed Seabron’s union defended an official who threatened and harassed him, as Seabron alleges in court. Ashley Kjarbo’s union apparently worked with her boss to discipline her. Ray Michielini sued his union, claiming it cost him thousands in lost wages. Their stories are a window into a world where union officials can run roughshod over workers’ rights—unless someone holds them accountable. Ed Seabron, a longtime NYPD tow operator who helped clear NYC’s streets in the aftermath of 9/11 and other emergencies, resigned his membership with AFSCME, District Council 37 because he was frustrated the union didn’t bargain for overtime or hazard pay that other emergency personnel received. Seabron just wanted better representation. Union officials made it personal. One day, Seabron, who is African-American, found himself staring at a doctored image of himself shaking hands with someone dressed in Ku Klux Klan robes. An AFSCME vice president, also African-American, had posted the photo to an employee Facebook group. To Seabron, the union official’s post, accompanied by a video threatening, “We’re gonna play dirty,” crossed a line. “It’s hard to think of a worse insult one black man can level at another than to falsely depict him as a KKK collaborator,” he says. Seabron filed an unfair labor practice charge alleging the union vice president’s threatening statements had broken the law. But the city’s Board of Collective Bargaining dismissed his case once, joined the union’s side as Seabron’s adversary on appeal, then ruled against him again after a state court ruled for him and sent the case back—a process that Seabron believes violated his due process right to a hearing before an unbiased adjudicator. He is now asking a state appellate court to vacate the city board’s decision and send the case to a truly neutral decision maker. Seabron is represented by the Fairness Center, the nonprofit public interest firm where I serve as president. Meanwhile, the union has downplayed its vice president’s Facebook post as “campaign puffery meant to reinforce the Union’s message.” According to Seabron, “it’s as if union officials approve of [the vice president’s] message that seeking better representation is like working with the KKK.” Union officials can also wield their authority through the workplace chain of command to make life difficult for workers who don’t fall in line. IRS employee Ashley Kjarbo of Brookhaven, for example, tried to leave the National Treasury Employees Union so she wouldn’t have to pay monthly dues amid a season of financial hardship. But union officials gave Kjarbo the runaround when she tried to exercise her right not to be part of the union. A union president reported Kjarbo to her boss, who reprimanded her for “discourteous and unprofessional behavior” and threatened to impose further discipline unless she stopped trying to leave the union, she alleged. After the Fairness Center helped Kjarbo file unfair labor practice charges against the union and the IRS, the agency removed the reprimand from her employee file and sent a notice to Kjarbo’s colleagues promising to not “interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of their rights.” My firm also represented Ray Michielini, a railman for the Long Island Rail Road who similarly found himself targeted when he decided to leave his union. Soon after resigning his membership with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Michielini realized he was no longer receiving previously routine overtime opportunities. A union executive board member confirmed that Michielini would not be getting called for overtime anymore because he was in “non-compliance” with the collective bargaining agreement, which required workers to join the union and “maintain” union membership “as a condition of employment,” his lawsuit alleged. Only after Michielini took the union and his employer to court for violating his rights did the union agree to pay him thousands of dollars in lost wages and promise not to retaliate against him in the future. Labor Day should be a reminder that unions serve workers. Some New York union officials seem to have gotten it the other way around. When they do, workers should know that they can still make their voices heard and vindicate their rights through the courts.

(The Center Square) – A majority of American voters agree that a student’s chosen major or field of study should be considered before approving federal student loans, according to a new poll. The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll found that 54% of respondents agree that a student’s chosen major or field of study should be among the factors, while 31% disagree. The view intersects political affiliations, with 61% of Republicans and 43% of Democrats agreeing with the proposal. Support also extends across income groups. Among respondents earning $50,000 to $100,000 annually and those earning more than $100,000, 56% agreed that federal loan approval should consider a student’s major. Although most voters support considering a student’s major when approving federal loans, many students begin college without a declared major. Between 20% and 50% of students start college undecided, and about 75% change their major at least once before graduating, according to Best Colleges, an online planning tool to help prospective college students. Student loan debt remains significant nationwide, with the federal student loan portfolio reaching approximately $1.8 trillion. Pollster Mike Noble, founder and CEO of Noble Predictive Insights, told The Center Square that the cost and value of a college degree can depend heavily on a student’s chosen major. He noted that the growing number of highly specialized majors can leave graduates with relatively few job opportunities or low-paying positions, particularly in some nonprofit fields. Some graduates are entering the workforce with significant student debt and multiple degrees but little practical experience, Noble added. Noble said the student debt situation is partly the result of a generational push toward higher education. “You had all these groups where they didn't go. It's like 'No, you got to go to college' because they wanted what they didn't have for their kids. So they all did it, and so you had this huge influx,” Noble said. “Now there are so many options … Anyone can start college today and sign off for those loans … But is that person serious? Are they going to go through the program?" Economists have raised questions about whether federal lending should be tied to the economic value of particular degree programs. Wayne Winegarden, a senior fellow in business and economics at the Pasadena, Calif.-based Pacific Research Institute, said taxpayers remain financially responsible for federally backed loans, including those used to finance degrees whose economic returns may not justify their costs. Winegarden also cautioned against having the federal government make judgments about the value or viability of academic programs. “I see it is not actually trying to be helpful as much as they're being punitive against things that they don't like, and that's not actually a helpful solution,” Winegarden told The Center Square. “It's not an outsider's perspective to judge the success or the viability of a program based on kind of that type of criteria. Perhaps the three journalism majors have a broader benefit to the university.” “It's no place for the federal government to come in and start, kind of getting involved in those decisions,” Winegarden added. Similar efforts have already been initiated by the Trump administration. Under the Student Tuition and Transparency System and Earnings Accountability rule announced June 29, undergraduate programs will be required to demonstrate that their graduates earn more than the typical high school diploma holder. “If a program cannot show that it leaves its graduates financially better off than if they had never enrolled, it should not be underwritten by federal taxpayers,” Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent said in a statement. The Center Square Voters' Voice Poll was conducted by Noble Predictive Insights from Aug. 12-16, surveying 2,533 registered U.S. voters. The sample included 930 Republicans, 930 Democrats, and 673 Independents. Among independent voters, 330 respondents were classified as True Independents, or those who do not lean toward either major party when given the choice. The margin of error is +/- 2.0%.
