Jan 7 (Reuters) - Chilean justice minister Marcela Rios has resigned her post, the country's President Gabriel Boric said on Saturday, amid accusations of wrongdoing over pardons given to people connected to violent 2019 protests. "When situations with these characteristics occur in politics, we must take responsibility," Boric said. Boric backed pardons for those convicted in less violent crimes during the protests that shook the South American country. But political opponents decried the December pardons - which included a former guerrilla fighter imprisoned for other crimes - and accused Rios of poor communication and coordination.

JURUPA VALLEY, Calif. — A Southern California sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed Thursday by a man with a violent criminal history during a traffic stop and the suspect later died in a shootout on a freeway, authorities said. As he approached the vehicle, the driver pulled a gun and shot him, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said at an evening news conference. TV news showed dozens of Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol cars chasing the truck. Cordero was a motorcycle officer assigned to Jurupa Valley, a city about 45 miles east of downtown Los Angeles that contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for policing services. Cordero “learned from his mother the value of serving and helping others” and his goal at the department was always to become a motor deputy, Bianco said.

☆ Latinas lose $1.2 million over their careers due to the pay gap—here's what needs to change
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-08 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

That pay gap translates to a staggering loss of nearly $1.2 million over a 40-year career. Latinas with the largest pay gaps often work as maids, child-care workers and cashiers, among other critical, undervalued occupations, the Center for American Progress reports. Honduran women, for example, only make 44 cents, Guatemalan women make 47 cents, and Salvadoran women make 49 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men, the NWLC reports. While the largest explained causes of the pay gap include the segregation of Latinas into lower-paying occupations and a history of discrimination and bias in hiring and salary decisions, a significant part of the pay gap can't be accounted for by these factors. Increasing pay transparency, providing Latinas access to information, negotiation tactics and connecting them with allies in the workplace can help Latinas in the fight for equal pay.

A new report suggests female executives ditched their jobs in unprecedented numbers in 2021. The report suggests women leaders experience a range of microaggressions that undercut their authority and stymie their career progression. For instance, the report indicated that 37% of female leaders had had a coworker get credit for their idea, compared with 27% of male leaders. It also suggested that women leaders were twice as likely as men to be mistaken for someone more junior. Wade Hinton, an inclusion consultant, told Insider he's not surprised by the large numbers of women leaders leaving their employers.

Why ports are a perfect fit for electric trucks — almostPorts are an ideal place to employ electric trucks at scale because the job of a port trucker matches the capability and limitations of an electric truck. Cordero said the Port of Long Beach, combined with the neighboring Port of Los Angeles, would raise $90 million a year in fees. But even with many unanswered questions, it's a great time to get serious about changing out trucks, Cordero said.
