EMPLOYMENT

law lets female employees
allege pay discrimination
based on the wages a company
pays other employees who do
substantially similar work.
Under the law, it is up to
employers to prove a man’s

MINIMUM
WAGE:
The minimum wage rises in
many cities and states with the
new year. Some of the wage
increases are coming under
laws passed years ago that
phased in the increases over
a period of years. Some are
automatic increases tied to the
cost of living.

that eventually will push their
minimum wage to $15. The
full amount will kick in at the
end of 2018 in New York City
and 2021 in the rest of the
state.
The federal government
has not touched the minimum
wage since it was increased
to $7.25 effective in 2009.
Labor groups and workers
keep pushing for higher raises
while many business groups
say raises could come at the
expense of jobs. But with the

Wild rabbits plagued a Pilot Rock
resident on Southwest Birch Place.
An of¿ cer talked to the man, who said
the rabbits dig in his yard and eat his
wife¶s À owers. He also showed the
cop the rabbit hutches in his neigh-
bor’s backyard on the 500 block of
Southwest Cedar Street. The hutches
were empty, and the of¿ cer noted they
looked empty for some time.
The cop told the man there was
nothing city police could do because
the rabbits were wild. The man said
he was going to try and trap and catch
some of them. And if did not work, he
said, he was going to start shooting
them with a pellet gun.
Monday, April 20, 5:45 p.m.
A woman told Pendleton police a

Sports Bar & Lounge, Umatilla. A caller
said two of the gang stood guard at the
entry way, and two more guarded the
entrance to the motel next door. The
caller said he felt “very, very uncom-
fortable” because “something might
be going on, so a police walk-through
might need to happen at the bar.”
Sunday, July 26, 1:35 a.m.
An Oregon State Police trooper on
Highway 30 near milepost 21 stopped
a southbound Chevrolet pickup for
equipment violations on a trailer it

suspended.
The trooper arrested Murray, who,
according to state police, proceeded
to spit all over the back seat of the

stop, the trooper found out the driver
had a suspended license.
The driver, 31-year-old Beaul L.
Welch, told the trooper he knew of
the suspension, he also did not have
insurance on the vehicle, and the
registration was expired to boot. Welch
said he was en route to get a haircut
before work.
“The driver was polite,” according
to the state police media report, and
even thanked the trooper “for towing
his car so he didn’t get a duii during
Round-Up.”
Monday, Oct. 26, 6:12 p.m.
An Irrigon caller reported a woman

to answer door ...”
