FILE: March 27, 2013: Teachers union are power in Chicago. A recent
strike led to a better contract. Here they protest in front of
city hall a plan to close schools 54 public schools.REUTERSMaryland lawmakers
agreed this week to require public school teachers to pay union fees
a move that bolsters the states connection to organized labor as
others move toward a right-to-work status.The bill passed Thursday in the
General Assembly and is headed to the desk of Democratic Gov. Martin
OMalley for signing after Monday, the final day of Marylands 2013 legislative
session.The bill is also part of a larger progressive agenda put forth
this year by leaders of the Democrat-controlled Assembly that includes the
approval of tax increases and one of the toughest gun-control proposals
in the country.State Sen. David Brinkley calls the fees a forced tax
and disagrees with union claims that representation will benefit every teacher.If
the representation is so exceptional, then everybody would join, he said.
I just dont buy it. Its a political payback that has nothing
substantial to do with the merits of education.The bill will require tens
of thousands of public school teachers to pay close to 1 percent
of their paychecks in so-called fair share fees to cover the cost
of contract negotiations and grievance representation.Union leaders say
the legislation attempts to create uniformity across Maryland and that non-union
workers should share the cost.We
lso were killed in that attack.Col.
Thomas Collins, a spokesman for U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan, provided
new details about the adviser's death Sunday, saying he was killed during
the fighting in Kunar province.The two-day operation was launched Friday
after a tip that dozens of Taliban were concentrated in an area
in the Shigal district, Wasify said.Afghanistan's Interior Ministry said
six Taliban militants were killed in the operation in Sano Dara Sheltan
village, including two senior commanders identified as Ali Khan and Gul
Raof, the main planner and organizer of attacks in the area.Wasify initially
put the casualty toll at 11 Taliban militants killed, and four Afghan
security forces, six civilians and 10 Taliban militants wounded. But he
later lowered the toll to seven Taliban militants killed.The different figures
could not be immediately reconciled, but the governor has sent a fact-finding
delegation to the area to get more details.U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry mourned the death of the foreign service officer killed in the
bombing -- the first death of an American diplomat on the job
since last year's Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic installation in
Benghazi, Libya.Kerry called the death of Anne Smedinghoff, a 25-year-old
native of Illinois, a "grim reminder" of the danger facing American foreign
service workers serving overseas.

would ultimately allow up to 200,000 workers a year into the U.S.
to fill jobs in construction, hospitality, nursing homes and other areas
where employers now say they have a difficult time hiring Americans or
legally bringing in foreign workers. Even after the deal was struck, some
industries, such as construction, continued to voice complaints about the
terms.Without offering details, Graham said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that
negotiators were revisiting the low-skilled worker deal. But he issued a
statement a short time later saying he was confident the agreement would
hold.Graham sounded optimistic overall, predicting the bill would pass the
100-member Senate with 70 votes in favor. Senators believe an overwhelming
bipartisan vote is needed in the Democratic-led Senate to ensure a chance
of success in the Republican-controlled House. Floor action could start
in the Senate in May, Schumer said.Meanwhile two lawmakers involved in writing
a bipartisan immigration bill in the House, Reps. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill.,
and Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., sounded optimistic that they, too, would
have a deal soon that could be reconciled with the Senate agreement."I
am very, very optimistic that the House of Representatives is going to
have a plan that is going to be able to go to
a conference with the Senate in which we're going to be able
to resolve this," Gutierrez said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union".
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. The Tampa Bay Rays apologized for what the
team described as a lapse in judgment by a club mascot photographed
holding an "inappropriate sign" making reference to Steve Irwin, a popular
television personality and wildlife expert who died in 2006 after being
attacked by a stingray.The furry mascot known as Raymond was handed a
"Rays To Do List" by a fan during Wednesday night's game against
Baltimore. The sign had "1. Steve Irwin" crossed off" and listed the
World Series second.The team issued an apology after a photo of the
mascot holding the sign wound up on the internet. A statement said
fans are welcome to carry signs that are not offensive into the
ballpark but that the club regretted "this particular sign" was displayed.
