The Alabama House of Representatives tonight handed a bill to create a national regulation to restrict employers from paying employees in another way based handiest on race or intercourse.
The sponsor, Rep. Adline Clarke, D-Mobile, said it’s critical for states to have legal guidelines prohibiting pay discrimination in addition to federal regulation. Clarke said Alabama and Mississippi are the handiest states that don’t have identical pay legal guidelines.
“This is an issue of equity,” Clarke stated. “Women make up a big a part of our team of workers these days. And our paychecks visit fuel, groceries, toddler care, tuitions and different essentials for our families.”
Clarke stated maximum organizations pay employees fairly. But she said the invoice might clarify what factors employers can use to justify paying employees differently. The invoice says those elements consist of seniority, a benefit system, a machine based on satisfactory or amount of manufacturing, or a differential based totally on factors apart from sex or race.
Employees could have up to three hundred and sixty-five days from the time of the discrimination to document a civil movement. Clarke has said its simpler for personnel to are seeking alleviation from discrimination in nation courts than in the federal courtroom.
Clarke has backed the invoice for numerous years, but it had not previously advanced. Clarke said a final week, when a House committee permitted the bill, that a key alternate this 12 months is that she reached a compromise with the National Federation of Independent Business. That became to exempt companies with fewer than 50 employees from individual file-retaining requirements on pay and activity classifications that the bill requires large employers.
The House passed Clarke’s invoice by way of a vote of ninety eight-0. It movements to the Senate
THE SERVICE THAT COMES WITH THE FOOD
Whenever we go to takeaway restaurants, not only is the food not cooked with love, it’s often not served with respect. Patrons are commonly treated as second-class citizens; mainly because the person serving them has no compatibility. They’ve not been trained to care.
Wherever we go in life, it pays, as much as possible, to place ourselves in situations and circumstances of useful experience. Enriching experience is good for the soul. Putting ourselves in non-enriching experiences, though, leads to a deadening of the soul. The service that comes with the food is just as outstanding as the eating experience is. The service, too, must come with love.

The trouble with fast food is it’s generally not cooked nor served with respect. Often it’s prepared and cooked by people with no stake in its consumption. Eating food is a spiritual activity. If we care enough for ourselves and those we love, we limit our reliance on fast food. We’ll still eat it, perhaps, but less so.
Our dietary habits are critical inputs to our spirituality. When we eat food made with love, we profit. Food made without love cannot benefit us spiritually.
