1,200 arbitration cases.
$2000 per filing for the employer flat filing fee.
$750 per filing for employer for admin.
$1000 per diem plus expenses low end to the employer.
Net average forum fee for employment ADR in the U.S. is over $10,000 per filing. This is forum fee only paid by the employer and does not include any award or other compensation.
It’s $12 million in forum fees alone. Setting aside that most of the plaintiffs have claims for wrongfully withheld severance while others have discrimination claims. 5,200 employees were cut from a pre-Elmo total of 7,500. This is but one hustling attorney moving fast to Hoover up the 1,200 she signed. Thousands more are in the pipeline as well.

Faulty brakes sidelining trains on Toronto’s UP Express service. They use a vehicle built by Nippon Sharyo called a Diesel Multiple Unit, built to FRA specs at the time. Only one other system in North America uses this model, Sonoma Marin Area Rapid Transit. Stadler builds a better vehicle now, meets newer FRA regulations, and in SMART’s case, wouldn’t require special track to accommodate freight trains(being low floor, no high platforms)
https://www.cp24.com/news/all-up-express-trains-taken-out-of-service-after-cracks-found-in-brake-discs-1.6269974
For Airport transit, no need for a special premium service (higher fares) like UP Express, when it’s not just travelers using it. An airport, especially Pearson, is a big concentrated employment center. Sea-Tac has one of its shift changes around 2-4AM when most Sound Transit and Metro services are done for the night. The Night Owl, especially the old system, was very infrequent, and centered around Seattle except for two routes, 184 and 280. The latter was a clockwise loop connecting the East Lake WA Cities, but the former was the overnight 2-trip continuation of the 174, Tge old airport bus.
My favorite airport service has to be Minneapolis’s light rail line, two stations at MSP and when full route service is down for the night. service between those two stations continues, because it doubles as the people mover between the Lindbergh and Humphrey terminals.
Not sure if UP Express was a Public Private Partnership, which is becoming the norm in Canada for major infrastructure no matter who is in charge. The Valley Line in Edmonton has got to be one of tge more interesting. ETS split it into two sections, two separate consortiums, which the contract called for the contractors to make the rolling stock purchase. They chose two separate manufacturers, but they at least chose Standard gauge and same voltage.

@ 50
I think the shooting of Ashli Babbitt helped diffuse the situation at the Capitol. It certainly did in that hallway. We also heard how quickly the news of her shooting spread.
Personally, I’m glad she was shot and killed. Sacrificed, if you will, as a warning to others. I’m similarly glad about the thugs getting several years behind bars, partly as a warning to others.
However, I doubt Byrd was thinking that he was warning others by killing Babbitt. He could have used non-lethal force before resorting to lethal force. When a LEO kills someone who was unarmed, we spend so much time and effort and do so much hair-splitting in the investigation of what alternatives existed. That didn’t happen in Byrd’s case.
If Ashli Babbitt was a black woman and was shot while storming the Third Precinct in The Durkan Kill Zone, y’all would be calling for the head of the cop who pulled the trigger.
A little something to keep in mind when y’all refuse to give the next cop the slightest benefit of the doubt.
There were many more cops who had greater fear for themselves and for their fellow officers that day than did Byrd. None of them pulled the trigger. Certainly none of them did it from a comfortable perch 10 feet away.

No back-pedaling. The fact that she got what she deserved doesn’t mean that Byrd was within his rights to do it. Hell, George Floyd got what he deserved. It just so happened that the manner in which he met his maker was criminal.
Dozens of police on January 6 at the Capitol managed to keep their firearms holstered. But not the guy who was not engaged in hand-to-hand combat while hearing shouts of “Kill him with his own gun!”
The treatment Byrd received after killing Babbitt was the review board’s version of “Our consideration is limited to the present circumstances…”

awww… kreepshit doesn’t believe a LE officer when the officer claims he used his words. From the story linked above:
The Babbitt family’s attorney has described the incident as an “ambush,” alleging that the officer gave no warning before he pulled the trigger. Babbitt’s family has signaled its intention to file a civil lawsuit against the Capitol Police; it had previously filed court papers seeking the name of the officer who shot her.
The attorney, Terry Roberts, didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Byrd said he felt pain in his throat for days afterward from yelling at the protesters to stop and step back as they pounded on the glass doors.
Sorry kreepshit, your back pedaling and babbling holds no water.

Lt Michael Byrd spews:
@52,
Since you asked, and once again for the second time now, what I was thinking is in the record of the investigation. And that is that a very violent, irrational, out of control terrorist wearing a backpack stuffed with high explosives and roofing nails soaked in rat poison was trying to break into the House chamber and set it off.
She would not stop. She continued to advance and force her way through the opening that had been made. I pleaded with all of them to stop, showed them my service weapon and told them I would shoot them if they forced their way in.
She forced her way in through the opening. I shot her just like I said I would and just as I was trained to do to stop a terrorist attack.
That’s what I was thinking.
The only warnings I deliver to terrorists are the ones they hear right before I place a 124 grain slug in their brain pan.

Babbitt is no tragic figure. She’s a figure of contempt. Just another disappointing white person offered a hundred “second chances” in life who failed to make use of even the ones that would have saved her life.
Graham gives us an uncomplicated if imprecise four factor test.
“The test for reasonableness under the Fourth Amendment is not capable of precise definition or mechanical application”.
However, there’s no real doubt that Ashli Babbitt passed three out of four with flying colors – Stars and Stripes if I’m being precise.
The severity of the suspected criminal offense – Yeah. There’s a really well established legal expectation that LE can, and should, forcibly seize a person they have a reasonable, articulable suspicion of being a suicide bomber.
Immediacy of the threat – No greater or more immediate threat exists. A determined intruder, backed by a violent mob, wearing what appears to a reasonable officer to potentially be an explosive pack, is desperately forcing herself through a broken window to gain access to dozens of lawmakers trapped on the House balcony. Fuck. A nightmare.
Actively resisting lawful efforts to arrest the threat – Dozens of witness accounts, video and audio recordings, etc. Bitch blew her way through a dozen police lines before she got to The Speaker’s Lobby doors and ignored at least a dozen orders from police manning the final barricade.
Attempting to evade efforts to arrest by flight – She was not. She was continuing to aggressively advance toward her target. But what makes this important is to establish that under Graham’s analysis, Byrd would have been legally justified to shoot her in the back fleeing.
We don’t let the human bomb get away to try again at a different point of attack.
I think she knew all this, at least subconsciously. She was a miserably sad, and desperately lonely failure in life. Like so many other conservative white people, she’d thrown every facet of who she was and how she saw herself behind the one idea of Trump defeating all the institutions and forces she blamed for her failures and her loneliness. With Trump’s defeat she saw this attack on Congress as her final, last chance at redemption from that life of failure and loneliness. Buoyed and energized by the mob’s false sense of community and belonging, and recognizing that without Trump and without that violent mob she would be left with nothing, she made a decision to “go for it” – probably without consciously acknowledging that in this case the glorious “it” she was going for was her own self annihilation.

@68. That was reasonable and logical. Why do you bother? The greedy racist incel has ignored the last 1,000 times anyone posted anything reasonable and logical.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) believes Social Security and Medicare are “wasteful spending” and seniors must give up their income and health care “to help ensure the government can ‘figure out how to start living within our means'” while not cutting military spending or requiring billionaires to pay taxes.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/12/politics/mike-rounds-medicare-social-security-cnntv/index.html
If seniors had listened to Ken Paxton (R-TX), and given up their lives to keep businesses open during the pandemic, we wouldn’t need to have this discussion.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@68 Thanks for that wordy explanation, but I think “suicide by cop” handles it.

@69 Oh, he feels it, alright. Like a trouper, the GRI puts on a stoic pose; but believe it, every smack hurts.

Secret tip: I wasn’t really describing Babbitt.
At least Puddy was able to recognize that the troll persona he created was becoming under Trump so irreconcilable with any concept of humanity or decency that he knew he had to give it up to avoid self annihilation.
Some of them are not as self aware.

Watch both sides freak out over the USS Carl Vinson air crew wearing their gear in the photo during the anthem. The colors are for communication during flight ops. Red shirts very important if Navy pilots were involved in the balloon shoot down. Without the red shirts, the Hornets aren’t shooting anything. They arm them.

Was just looking at KC Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s Wikipedia bio, and copied this before it gets deleted.
“Hired as the head coach of the Chiefs in 2013, Reid helped revitalize the struggling franchise. He helped end the eight-game playoff losing streak that began in 1993. In 10 seasons with Kansas City, he has led them to successful seasons with nine postseason appearances, seven division titles, five consecutive AFC Championship Games, three Super Bowl appearances, and a Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LIV – the franchise’s first in 50 years and Reid’s first as a head coach. He followed it up with a second win in Super Bowl LVII. In 2023, on February 30th, he was shot for being old and fat.”
It’s already gone. Was up for, oh, maybe 60 seconds. Looks like Wikipedia has better spotters than the Air Force.

Ron DeSantis spews:
Not gonna lie.
I was pretty shook when I woke up in that hotel room with a dead hooker. But Jesus stuck with me and supported me every step. He even helped me get rid of the body.
RedReformed spews:
The problem with that scheme is once you have taken Jesus into your heart and repented, you actually have to act like Jesus commanded.
At no point in time do most of these so called Christians do things like Feed the poor, help The stranger, be tolerant of others. Kick the Pharisees out of the Temple. Care.
RedReformed spews:
I’ve seen the Christian ads show up in my Facebook feed, but strangely enough, they’re always locked. I can’t ask them why they won’t feed the poor and help the stranger and the immigrant? Why don’t they act like Jesus told them to?
