  1. Woman evicted for celebrating Easter too long

    BOULDER, Colo. (AP) – Carol Burdick was evicted from her apartment because she kept Easter decorations for two weeks after the holiday, she said.

    “An Easter decoration is a religious statement and should be protected – even if it is just bunnies,” said Burdick’s attorney John Pineau.

    Jury selection for Burdick’s case is expected to begin Wednesday in Boulder County Court.

    Burdick, 59, said she is not liable for more than $2,000 in rent and late fees.

    Burdick said her landlords asked her to remove the Easter stickers, plastic grass, and Peeps marshmallow candies from her door a few days after Easter.

    1. that had a clause saying “don’t keep holiday decorations up beyond the holiday season” or some such thing, she doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

    2. There really has to be much more to this story, maybe the local Vail or Eagle County paper will cover it.

      Maybe our own M. Ali Hasan has some insight?  (I ask that because he lives up there and is engaged in the community)

      DENVER-The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says The Vail Corp. will pay $80,000 as part of a settlement of a religious and gender discrimination lawsuit filed by the agency.  Court documents say the corporation agreed to provide training for employees on what constitutes unlawful discrimination based on gender and religion.

      The EEOC’s lawsuit alleged that an emergency services supervisor at Vail’s Keystone Resort ski area was harassed based on her Christian religion and gender. It alleged that Lisa Marie Cornwell was denied religious accommodations, was treated less favorably than her male colleagues and was fired in retaliation for complaining.

      A Keystone spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment early Monday.

        1. I found this Vail story to be a case of religion intersecting with the law.  

          Contrasting this, the Easter bunny story from Boulder was cute.  We all know that the apartment owner (AIMCO aka staunch GOP Considine’s slumlord operation or a viable a legitimate Colorado based employer) was likely technically in the right with the leasee.

          So, the Vail story seemed an opportunity to debate protecting workers rights v religion v at will employment v harassment.

          p.s. Middle, that is what it has to do with Twitty’s 1st post …. and good luck troll cruising for the nonversations you usually participate in so deeply.

        1. would care to opine on this Vail issue.

          The EEOC came to the aid of a worker embroioled in a gender bias case against Vail and Associates.

          Where are the Union Bosses, why aren’t they marching on Vail to demand safe and sustainable workplace environments?

          What are the pertainent facts of this nearly $100k settlement?

          1. As you ask

            What are the pertainent (sic) facts of this nearly $100k settlement?

            Do you know who supported the employee in her case?  

            Do you know who opposed her (other than Vail Resorts)?

            Just wondering.  Because if so, then enlighten us so we might, as liberal brothers and sisters, may opine.  Rather than be like you, that is, and spout off without any knowledge of the particulars.  

            1. A union member would expect her/his union boss to provide a work environment free of these issues, but if that happened then surely the union boss would have failed as the member would have been forced to resolve their dispute with the EEOC.

  2. Continues to be great source for up to the minute reports on Iran situation.  Though crackdown has made large gatherings impossible, a  national strike is being planned.  British foreign ministry is evacuating staff.  Various European embassies discussing plan to take in wounded demonstrators.

    1. But, no, it’s “Oh well, let’s go shopping.”

      Blood of patriots fertilizing the tree of liberty?  More like fertilization by pissing on it.

        1. .

          If the Dictator in Iran would just broadcast better TV shows, and encourage the production of CrystalMeth, maybe his subjects (or are they citizens ?) would mellow out.

          .

            1. That was after months of voting for the queer … I think you’re imagining things. American Idol is propaganda for itself, that’s all.

        1. Gore challenged the vote in Florida, but only in a half-assed way….ditto Kerry in Ohio…

          The problem is that the democratic senators have adopted that kind of attitude right now…
