    Eliza Fletcher: Tennessee police confirm body found is that of abducted teacher.
    The Guardian (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 84% • 4 min read

    On Tuesday investigators identified the body of 34-year-old Eliza Fletcher, a schoolteacher and a prominent Memphis businessman’s granddaughter whose disappearance horrified the country. She had been kidnapped about 4am on Friday, when a man approached her and forced her into a sport utility vehicle after a brief struggle, police said.
    ...
    Federal marshals jailed Cleotha Abston, 38, on Saturday after police detected his DNA on a pair of sandals found near where [Fletcher] had last been seen. Memphis police said that Abston will now also face charges of first-degree murder while carrying out a kidnapping, which under Tennessee law can carry life imprisonment or even execution.
    ...
    Abston kidnapped a prominent attorney [Kemper Durand] in 2000, when Abston was just 16 years old. Abston forced Durand to drive to a gasoline station to withdraw money from an ATM. He received a 24-year sentence. In the two years since his release, there were no further documented charges against Abston in the Memphis area prior to his arrest on Saturday.

Should your state establish a higher minimum wage for fast food workers?

440 votes, 58 comments

Context: California establishes labor council to set standards for fast food industry.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

“ No - Artificially increasing entry-level wages makes it harder for unskilled workers to find their first job and encourages producers to reduce staffing and increase automation.”


“ Yes - In my state, the current minimum hourly rate is $1.25 lower than the living wage. People earning minimum wage cannot keep up with the rising cost of living, much less be able to "s...”



“ Unsure - The problem with establishing a higher minimum wage for fast food workers is that it results in a negative feeling and fighting amongst other workers. Specificall...”
