Ohio plans workplace classes after racist acts at GM plant
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Ohio officials are spending two days leading civil rights training at a General Motors plant where there have been repeated incidents of racial harassment.
All 1,700 workers at GM’s transmission plant in Toledo will be required to attend one of the sessions this week.
Some workers are suing the company, saying it hasn’t done enough to stop harassment that includes nooses, racist taunts and graffiti. Workers say it has gone on several years.
The state's Attorney General’s Office says it offered in January to help the automaker and that GM quickly accepted.
GM has said it has no tolerance for racist behavior and that it’s taking steps to drive it out of the workplace.
Supreme Court won’t intervene in synagogue dispute
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court is declining to intervene in a fight over the control of a historic Rhode Island synagogue and its religious bells worth millions.
The justices’ decision Monday not to take up the case means that a lower court’s ruling that a New York synagogue owns Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, stays in place.
Congregation Jeshuat Israel has worshipped at Touro Synagogue since the late 1800s. It wanted control of the synagogue and the ability to sell one of its two sets of Colonial-era Torah bells, called rimonim. It wanted to sell the set to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston for $7.4 million.
An appeals court found that Manhattan’s Congregation Shearith Israel, which objected to the sale, owns the Touro property including the rimonim.
Deputies: Man faked robbery to get out of work
DUNDEE, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Florida man didn’t want to show up for his shift at a Hardee’s restaurant, so he called 911 and reported he’d just been robbed.
WFTS-TV reports that 32-year-old Brian Anderson of Dundee told dispatchers Tuesday that two gun-carrying men took his necklace, money and his phone before jumping into a car and driving away.
Polk County sheriff’s deputies went to the scene and quickly realized that a robbery never happened.
In a Facebook post, the agency said Anderson confessed, adding that “on the bright side, Brian didn’t have to go to his 11 a.m. shift at the restaurant.”
Anderson is charged with misusing the 911 system and knowingly giving false information to law enforcement.
