Compton is getting a new mayor, but with no candidate receiving a majority threshold in last month’s primary, residents will have to wait until a June 1 runoff to find out which of the two top vote getters—Cristian Reynaga or Emma Sherif— will precede Aja Brown as mayor of L.A. County’s “Hub city.”

The report, Reconstruction in America, documents more than 2,000 black victims of racial terror lynchings killed between the end of the civil war in 1865 and the collapse of federal efforts to protect the lives and voting rights of black Americans in 1876.
In that brief 12-year period, known as Reconstruction, a reign of terror was unleashed by Confederate veterans and former slave owners in a brazen effort to keep black people enslaved in all but name.
The report is a prequel to EJI’s groundbreaking 2015 research that identified and recorded more than 4,400 black victims of racial terror lynchings from the post-Reconstruction period, 1877 to 1950.
The new report allows that grim tally to be further expanded with the addition of the 2,000 documented victims from the Reconstruction era itself – bringing the total number of documented cases of black people who were supposedly free yet were lynched in the most sadistic fashion to a staggering 6,500 men, women and children.
Bryan Stevenson, EJI’s executive director, told the Guardian that the new report highlights the capitulation and complicity of American institutions – from local sheriffs right up to the US supreme court in Washington – in the face of white supremacist violence.

Short time work is imposed as a temporary measure for a temporary period where there is only limited amount of work for an employee to do for their employer.
Unless short time work is provided for in an employee’s contract of employment or a collective bargaining agreement in that industry, short time work cannot be unilaterally imposed on employees by the employer.
To avoid claims by the employees for a change to their terms and conditions of employment, the employee and employer need to agree to the implementation of short time work.
In the same manner that consultations must take place with employees if the employer is considering retrenchment, employers must consult employees regarding introducing short time work.
Before the employers resort to retrenchment due to the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, they have to consult their employees and the trade unions to persuade the employees to take unpaid leave as an alternative to retrenchment.
