...commercialization of beach access is hardly unique to Greece - commercial operators are encroaching on beaches all around the Mediterranean. On the Tuscan and Ligurian coasts, for example, sun worshipers can be charged upwards of $25 a day for a chair and patch of sun, sunblock not included. And Mayor Kortzidis is not alone in fighting back: In recent weeks, Italian protesters have been walking directly through concession areas without paying to get to the beach, a 16-foot strip of which, under Italian law, must be open to all. In Greece, similar legislation also calls for 160 feet of open...
...accommodate the needs of mothers in their midst are often even more unforgiving of fathers. It is a powerful taboo that prevents men from acknowledging their commitment to their children at work. A 1989 survey of medium and large private employers found that only 1% of employees had access to paid paternity leave and just 18% could take unpaid leave.

Instead, the government panel approved that status only for workers employed at Rocky Flats from Jan. 1, 1959 to Dec. 31, 1966, saying there simply weren't enough good records available for determining each worker's level of exposure to radiation on the job (earlier, pre-1959 employees were also granted SEC status). The panel said that all cases of employee illness following 1966 will be reviewed individually, a tedious process in which, some...
...Passenger's Bill of Rights remain optimistic about the bill, particularly because it has been attached as a rider to the Senate's version of the FAA reauthorization bill. "Never again, if this bill passes, will someone have to sit on a plane for hours and hours without access to potable water, food and adequate restroom facilities," says Natalie Ravitz, press secretary for Senator Boxer...
