Epsom Food Pantry

 

Good Day everyone.  Well I am full of good news and also orders from the Boss, Ken Brown.  First many thanks to Tim Stickney and his company for a very generous donation to our Pantry and also to Evergreen Lodge #53 over on Short Falls for their wonderful donation.

 

Now down to business. Ken will be going Saturday, the 21st, early to pick up the turkeys. By the time  he and Armand get them loaded and drive back to Epsom, it will be around 10:45, so we will be opening at 11:00 AM to start the pick up.

 

If you  have signed up for a turkey, you must make arrangements to pick up your basket. If you cannot pick up, you need to let me know and I will find someone to deliver it to you.

 

Now you folks who usually come on Saturday, we will be asking you to come Sunday, the 22nd (next day) between 10-12.

 

When you drive up to the Pantry and after you pick up, you MUST drive up the hill into the Library yard and then down the hill to egress.  This is a must from the Chief of Police for safety reasons.  Last year I explained this and a few folks drove right out on to Route 4 from Pantry yard and nearly had an accident. 

 

The baskets look just delicious and we do hope this will brighten  your Thanksgiving.

 

Ken said we could use some gravy mixes, canned yams or sweet potatoes, and pie crust mix.

 

Until next time,

Priscilla

Letter To The Editor

 

While Cheryl Dean is technically correct (SVS 11-04-15) “women already have legal recourse if they find their employer is breaking The Equal Pay LAW”, compliance and enforcement are far from guaranteed. In the Lilly Ledbetter v Goodyear case, Ms Ledbetter was near retirement when a co-worker in payroll anonymously informed her she was being paid about 25% less than male counterparts for doing the same (and often more productive) work than the men.

 

Over decades, such pay disparity adds up, not to mention benefits lost in reduced social security and retirement funds. Ledbetter sued Goodyear and a jury of her peers awarded her over 3 million dollars which the Judge reduced to $360,000.00. She appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court where she lost in 5-4 decision. The Court interpreted the 180 day statute of limitations to file, only included the paycheck after which she discovered the unequal pay. The “dirty little secret” to this form of pay discrimination is that if a Goodyear employee told another employee how much they were paid, that person was subject to being fired.

 

In my personal experience, an airline I worked for was taken over by a corporate raider who immediately cut wages and benefits to flight attendants (only) by 44%; in the 1980s, that was basically “the women”. He did it because he knew he could get away with it. Neither labor law nor any kind of discrimination law was being “enforced”.

 

Pay discrimination does not just affect women. It affects husbands and children. It affects communities.
