The mayor of Portland, Oregon, announced that all city employees will receive 40 hours of bereavement leave to “grieve and reflect” over 400 years of black people being oppressed.
Mayor Ted Wheeler sent an email to all city employees on Monday informing them that they will receive the uncontested paid time off to mourn racial disparity in response to the death of George Floyd, according to the Portland Tribune.
“As a nation and as a City we continue to grieve the recent loss of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, and others in the country and in our community,” Wheeler’s email said. “We acknowledge that Black employees are experiencing a collective grief and trauma coming from a culmination of oppression that is over 400 years old.”
The email continued: “We hear and understand that many of our employees, especially our BiPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) employees, are deeply impacted by these recent events and are hurting. I want to give our employees space to grieve and reflect: 40 hours of bereavement leave as allowed under HRAR (Human Resources Administrative Rules) 6.03.”

It’s not his money. Why stop at 40 hours?
Oh good God.
Shit like this is why I am contemplating moving to Poland.
I’m sure the taxpayers are in favor of this.
Isn’t the word “all” racist? As in “all” lives matter.
Someone tell teddy that if black americans were a country they’d be the 15th wealthiest
And they were worried about the COVID shutdown straining city budgets. LOL
Oregon ping
and the Taxpayers get Screwed Again
Probably they need to mourn the African tribal chiefs that kept them as slaves, and thought it was better to sell them. Slavvery is as old as the hills, and of every tribe, and tongue and color. Aztec in Mexico had SLAVES.. and offered them on their pyramids as offerings, then took the bodies home, boiled them and ate them.
These people..ugh.And yet Biden still got votes in the primaries. There was a time and I’m that old but before I could vote I was still in the politics there was a time when any party thst representated or defended this kind of lunacy would be obliterated at the voting booth. How though it’s gonna still be damn close election night and with voter fraud machine? I just pray.
So much for the 14th Amendment!
In my more socialist state to the north, this would be considered gifting of public funds and be illegal.
Silly laws. Who needs them?
The Muslims occupied Spain and enslaved its people for 500+ years... how many paid days off do we get to contemplate that?
Mayor to taxpayers: F. U. Portland!
10 years of black oppression is worth 1 hour.
You get the government you deserve. Good going taxpayers. If I was a homeowner who just lost my job, and scrapped together money to pay taxes, I’d be LIVID. WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY?
This must be a joke? Right?
Portlandia?
Can white employees who identify as black get a paid week off to grieve at the beach, too? Huh Dad?
I guarantee this is paid for by US taxpayers.
What slime the Dems are.
