Did you know that for years farmworkers have not been entitled to overtime pay unless they’ve been working at least ten hours? That’s set to change for many farm laborers in California as of this month, when state law that requires farmers with more than 26 employees to pay overtime after eight hours goes into effect, The Fresno Bee reports.

The law has been phased in since its 2016 passage, finally going into full effect on Jan. 1.

Students have an absolutely enormous amount on their plates no matter how they’re attending school during a global pandemic. Whether it’s virtual, in-person, a hybrid option, public or private, we know that young people are facing pandemic-related stress, uncertainty, and confusion, just like the rest of us.

Turner had entered the St. Clare Health Center in Fenton, Missouri, for a left-side craniotomy bypass. However, that’s not what happened. Through what hospital officials later admitted was a breakdown in their procedures, Dr. Armond Levy performed surgery on the wrong side of Turner’s head.
