Kroger Closing Ralph’s And Food 4 Less In Long Beach Saturday Over Hero Pay Law
LONG BEACH (CBSLA) —Kroger is closing two of its stores, Ralph’s and Food 4 Less, on Saturday after the City of Long Beach mandated that the company pay employees $4 extra an hour in “hero pay” amid the coronavirus pandemic. As customers came by the store on Saturday, there wasn’t much left to buy and the shelves were visibly empty, but people in the neighborhood said they wanted to shop there one more time. “I came to get the last minute deals and say goodbye to the store,” shopper Nick Savala told CBSLA’s Joy Benedict. “It’s almost like you’re losing a part of your family because you get to recognize the faces you see when you come shopping. So, it’s a real bummer.” Santiago Vasquez has been working the Ralph’s part-time for about a year, handling pick up orders and helping out in the meat department. He said all of his coworkers were offered jobs, some of them in nearby stores. But Velasquez said the offer of a transfer didn’t make much sense for him. “I was offered to stay … [Read more...] about Kroger Closing Ralph’s And Food 4 Less In Long Beach Saturday Over Hero Pay Law
Derek Chauvin Trial: Renewed Calls For Justice Ring Throughout Philadelphia Streets Ahead Of Closing Arguments
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Renewed calls for justice are echoing across the United States this Saturday. In Philadelphia, those calls come as a steady, dramatically elevated police presence monitors developments across the city two days ahead of closing arguments in the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, and tensions are already building. Large, peaceful crowds a short time ago filled the intersection of Broad and Callowhill streets. Demonstrators called for justice ahead of the Chauvin verdict. Also on their minds are a number of police-involved shootings, including the recent killing of 20-year-old Daunte Wright. Before heading there, the crowd was farther south along the north side of City Hall in Dilworth Park.

Mattis: China Trying to Intimidate Neighbors in S. China Sea
SINGAPORE - U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Saturday slammed China's militarization of disputed South China Sea islands, insisting that weapons systems recently deployed in the area were meant to intimidate and coerce Beijing's neighbors. The comments came during a speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual Asian defense forum in Singapore. In the speech, Mattis laid out the broader U.S. strategy for a "free and open" Indo-Pacific region. "China's policy in the South China Sea stands in stark contrast to the openness our strategy promotes. It calls into question China's broader goals," Mattis said. Specifically, the Pentagon chief mentioned China's deployment of anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles, electronic jammers, and the landing of a bomber aircraft at the Paracel Islands off the coast of Vietnam. "Despite China's claim to the contrary, the placement of these weapon systems is tied directly to military use for the purposes of intimidation and coercion," Mattis … [Read more...] about Mattis: China Trying to Intimidate Neighbors in S.
