“Baltimore officer, suspect wounded in street shooting”
April 15, 2008 - 7:49pm
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “BALTIMORE (AP) - A Baltimore police officer and a suspect are in critical condition after a shooting in west Baltimore.
Police spokesman Sterling Clifford says that after two plainclothes officers from a gang unit pulled over a car about 2:15 p.m. today, a suspect got out, struggled with Officer Mark Spila (SPEE-lah), 25, and ran off. While he was being chased on foot, the suspect turned and fired at Spila, striking him in the upper part of one of his legs. Spila returned fire, and the suspect was shot several times.
Other police officers engaged a second suspect in a gun battle. Police are looking for that second suspect.”
Datt wouldn't wash her hands. She just wouldn't -- she said she couldn't. So her employment was terminated. The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ordered that McDonald's pay her not only $23,000 for "lost income", but an additional $25,000 for her "dignity and self-respect". You see, in B.C. a food preparation worker's self-respect trumps a company's commitment to cleanliness. They violated her "human rights". The $50,000+ penalty -- plus several years of legal fees and medical and rehab experts -- isn't the worst of it. Inventing a "human right" for a worker to go to the bathroom and then to handle meat without washing her hands in between, as an excuse for that $50,000 shakedown isn't the worst of it either.
The worst of it is that the BCHRT has ordered that McDonald's, in paragraph 298 of the decision, to "cease the discriminatory conduct or any similar conduct and refrain from committing the same or similar contravention."
