Penn Station East Coast Subs Partners with National Down Syndrome Adoption Network
Penn Station East Coast Subs has announced it is partnering with National Down Syndrome Adoption Network, and according to the press release, will be generously supported by Pennstation, Inc.
"Our founder, Jeff Osterfeld, has personally donated to the Down Syndrome Association of Cincinnati for more than 20 years and the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network for almost a decade, and it has become Penn Station's charitable cause as well," said Penn Station President Craig Dunaway in the above press release. "Almost everyone knows someone affected by Down syndrome, and it is often a less publicized cause, so it has been a great fit for us. In addition to our annual roundup campaign for local Down syndrome organizations, Penn Station, Inc. will provide an annual donation to fund the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network. We are thrilled to make this partnership more official and commit to the donation every year."

Retailers Phase Out Coronavirus Hazard Pay for Essential Workers
Many retailers have started to end the extra hazard pay they had been offering essential workers working during the pandemic. Amazon, Kroger, and Rite Aid are three of the most prominent brands to have started phasing out this extra pay.
Unions and workers have started pushing back against this change.
"As long as we are wearing gloves, as long as we are wearing masks and social distancing, it seems obvious to me that we are working in hazardous circumstances," said John T. Niccollai, president of United Food & Commercial Workers Local 464A, based in Little Falls, N.J. in the above Wall Street Journal article. "It is manifestly unfair to eliminate the hazard pay at this point."
