5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF Officer charged Supreme Court deals big with homicide in setback to labor unions shooting of black teen Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled today that government workers can’t be forced to contribute to labor unions that represent them in collective bargaining, dealing a serious financial blow to organized labor. The court’s conservative majority scrapped a 41-year-old decision that had allowed states to require that public employees pay some fees to unions that represent them, even if the work- ers choose not to join. The 5-4 decision fulfills a longtime wish of conservatives to get rid of the so-called fair share fees that non-members pay to unions in roughly two dozen states. Organized labor is a key Democratic constituency. The court ruled that the laws violate the First Amendment by compelling workers to support unions they may disagree with. “States and public-sector unions may no longer extract agency fees from nonconsent- ing employees,” Justice Samuel Alito said in his majority opinion in the latest case in which Justice Neil Gorsuch, an appointee of Presi- dent Donald Trump, provided a key fifth vote for a conservative outcome. In dissent, Justice Elena Kagan wrote of the big impact of the decision. “There is no sugar- coating today’s opinion. The majority over- throws a decision entrenched in this Nation’s law — and its economic life — for over 40 years. As a result, it prevents the American people, acting through their state and local officials, from making important choices about workplace governance. And it does so by weaponizing the First Amendment, in a way that unleashes judges, now and in the future, to intervene in economic and regulatory policy.” The court’s three other liberal justices joined the dissent. EAST PITTSBURGH, Pa. — A white police officer was charged today with homicide in the shooting of an unarmed black teenager who fled a traffic stop last week, and investi- gators said the officer gave inconsistent state- ments about whether he saw a gun in the teen’s hand. East Pittsburgh officer Michael Rosfeld first told investigators that the teen turned his hand toward him when he ran from the car and he “saw something dark he perceived as a gun,” according to the criminal complaint. During a second recap of the shooting, Ros- feld told investigators he did not see a gun and he was not sure if the teen’s arm was pointed at him when he fired at 17-year-old Antwon Rose Jr. The 30-year-old officer had been sworn in just hours before the June 19 shooting after working at the police department for a couple weeks. He turned himself in, was arraigned and released on $250,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court July 6. Authorities have said Rose and another teen, who was arrested this week , fled after being pulled over on suspicion they were involved in a drive-by shooting. Rose was shot three times — in the right side of his face, his back and his elbow. The bullet fired through Rose’s back struck his lung and heart. His death has fueled daily protests around Pittsburgh. Trump celebrates victories for 3 endorsed candidates NEW YORK — As Donald Trump’s party came together, a 28-year-old liberal activist ousted top House Democrat Joe Crowley in the president’s hometown Tuesday night, a stun- ning defeat that suddenly forced Democrats to confront their own internal divisions. Crowley, the No. 4 House Democrat and until Tuesday considered a possible candidate to replace Nancy Pelosi as leader, becomes the first Democratic incumbent to fall this primary season. He was beaten by underfunded chal- lenger Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a former Ber- nie Sanders organizer who caught fire with the party’s left wing. Crowley’s loss echoed across the political world, sending the unmistakable message that divisions between the Democratic Party’s prag- matic and more liberal wings may be widening heading into the high-stakes November mid- term elections. It also exposed a generational divide among Democrats still struggling with their identity in the Trump era. All three of Trump’s endorsed candidates survived primary challenges. Those included New York Rep. Dan Donovan, who defeated convicted felon Michael Grimm in New York City’s only Republican stronghold, and former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Rom- ney, who once branded Trump “a fraud” but has warmed to the president in the past two years. Gov. Henry McMaster, one of the presi- dent’s earliest and strongest supporters, sur- vived an unusually tough challenge from a political newcomer, self-made Republican mil- lionaire John Warren. White House faces hard deadline on reunited migrant families McALLEN, Texas — The clock is ticking for the Trump administration after a federal judge ordered the thousands of migrant chil- dren and parents who were forcibly separated at the Mexican border reunited within 30 days, sooner for youngsters under 5. The hard deadline was set Tuesday night by U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego after President Donald Trump’s order ending his policy of separating families gave way to days of uncertainty, conflicting information and no word from the administration on when par- ents might see their children again. “This situation has reached a crisis level,” Sabraw wrote. Sabraw, an appointee of Republican Pres- ident George W. Bush, said children under 5 must reunited with their parents within 14 days. He also issued a nationwide injunction against further family separations, unless the parent is deemed unfit or doesn’t want to be with the child, and ordered the government to provide phone contact between parents and their children within 10 days. Pregnancy center ruling a blow for abortion- rights advocates SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In knock- ing down a California law aimed at regulat- ing anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a blow to abor- tion-rights supporters who saw the law as a crucial step toward beating back the national movement against the procedure. Democratic-led California became the first state in 2016 to require the centers to provide information about access to birth control and abortion, and it came as Republican-led states ramped up their efforts to thwart abortion rights. Despite the court’s 5-4 decision Tuesday, abortion-rights advocates pledged to keep fight- ing what they call “fake health centers,” but their next steps weren’t immediately clear. Anti-abortion rights groups, meanwhile, hailed the ruling as a victory for free speech and said the law coerced crisis pregnancy centers into providing information about services they don’t support. Thomas Glessner, president of the National Institute for Family and Life Advocates, which had sued over California’s law, called it a “great day for pro-life pregnancy centers.” Funeral homes: ‘It doesn’t matter if they’re homeless. ... It’s a human being’ Continued from Page 1A Board, following a lengthy application process, may then reimburse up to $461. “This is so much of a pro- cess for so little money,” Alca- ntara said. The indigent reimburse- ment fund is based on money taken from death filing fees. State law requires that $6 of every $20 fee be put into the fund. Funeral homes are required to explore numerous other avenues for reimbursement before receiving money from the state. Within five days of receiving a body, they must confirm if the person has the means to pay through his or her estate, attempt to locate family, check if the person has unclaimed property through the state that may help off- set costs, contact any friends or organizations that may help and reach out to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs in case they are eligible for benefits. The requirements, part of the law passed in 2015, may be a factor in the lower num- ber of indigent cases, said Sarah Casey, indigent dispo- sition specialist for the Mor- tuary and Cemetery Board. “They have a lot more hoops to jump through now, but they are helpful hoops,” she said. If no payment source can be found within 10 days, funeral homes must offer the body to an educational or research institution. It’s the final step before funeral homes can Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian John R. Alcantara said the mortuary has handled two indi- gent cases in the past two years. apply for reimbursement, and it typically is not successful.

Out of 376 requests by funeral homes last year, the university only accepted 16, said Steven Carmichael, the school’s body donation director. To be useful for student research, bodies must not have muscle atrophy, potentially carry contagious diseases or have an unusual height-weight proportion. Funeral homes, however, often render the body unusable by waiting lon- ger than the required 10 days to contact the school, Carmi- chael said. “Most of them have been dead too long before the funeral homes bother to call us,” Carmichael said. The Mortuary and Ceme- tery Board’s $461 reimburse- ment limit was based on fig- ures kept before the new law went into effect. Prior to the law, the Oregon Health Authority oversaw the indi- gent fund. “We were conservative when we first started because this was a new program we were running,” Casey said. “In the next couple years, I see that reimbursement rate rising.” Like many who die alone and without money, Alcan- tara was homeless for a few years while living out of a van in Los Angeles. Regardless of the expense and the bureau- cracy, he sees value in per- forming the cremations. “It doesn’t matter if they’re homeless and on the street. It’s a human being,” Alcantara said. “I’ve been there, done that. I can see the humanity behind it.” Evening listings WEDNESDAY J UNE 27 A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 Jeopardy!
