Every year being the hottest year on record has been the norm for awhile now…

Why is this advertising considered news?

Curiously, the interview fails to address making money for employees.

But even with those historic gains, they don't bring workers back to where they were before 2007, when wages and benefits were slashed amid tough economic times.

Headline makes the strikers sound greedy, but this context puts things into perspective.

The Florida Department of Education says the new standards don’t teach that slavery was beneficial.
