(CNN) — Elon Musk’s social media company, X (formerly known as Twitter), broke the law when it fired one of its employees for “exercising their right to protected concerted activity” following X’s return-to-office mandate, according to a complaint from the National Labor Relations Board.The complaint alleges that a high-ranking X official told workers, “If you can physically make it to an office and you don’t show up, resignation accepted.” One employee reached out to coworkers on Slack and encouraged them not to resign but instead wait to get fired. The employee was illegally terminated for their actions, according to the complaint.The NLRB protects workers’ legal right to engage in “concerted activity,” which is when two or more coworkers band together to address workplace issues.A hearing about the complaint is scheduled for January 30 in San Francisco.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:00:26 GMT

METHUEN — Mike Murnane made an emphatic return to the field.Murnane, who was sidelined the first five weeks of the season with a broken collarbone, scored the go-ahead touchdown as part of a fourth quarter that saw him rush for 63 yards as Billerica remained undefeated with a 23-13 road win over Methuen over Friday night at Nicholson Stadium.Billerica (6-0) has now beaten Central Catholic, Tewksbury and Methuen on the road this season.“Mike Murnane makes all the difference in the world,” Billerica coach Duane Sigsbury said. “This team is special. We have kids that can play. Our kids put in an absolutely unbelievable effort.”All offseason and summer, Murnane was set to be Billerica’s starting quarterback. A broken collarbone forced Steven Gentile into the job and with Gentile’s success so far this season a move was not in the cards. As a result, Murnane has slid into a role as a hybrid wide receiver and running back, where he is poised to be a forc...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:00:26 GMT

FOXBORO — The brand of football King Philip plays generally does not build excitement.The Warriors suffocate opponents on defense, and bludgeon them in the running game.Using that successful formula again, KP earned a 13-7 win Friday night at Foxboro in a Hockomock League crossover.KP improves to 6-0, while Foxboro took its first loss at 5-1. The victory also prevented Foxboro coach Jack Martinelli from winning his 300th game for at least a week.“It’s tough to make a living just lining up and pounding straight ahead when everybody knows what you’re going to do,” King Philip coach Brian Lee said. “At the same time, you’re working a little clock trying to keep them off the field. We really missed some big opportunities. Missed a field goal, (didn’t convert a) fourth and 1. We missed them, they stopped us. Those things kept them in the game, fighting until the end like they always do.“It’s always a battle over here. Did I expect a b...

After losing 11 players to graduation, Minnesota women’s hockey coach Brad Frost considers his team a work in progress. Despite being ranked fourth in the country, the Gophers have a lot of goals that need to be replaced if they are going to make what has become an annual run at a national title.Friday afternoon at the Xcel Energy Center, Abbey Murphy provided a not-too-subtle reminder that not all of the Gophers’ world-class talent has moved on.Murphy, a member of the 2022 U.S. Olympic team who is coming off a 29-goal season, collected a hat trick as the Gophers pounded St. Thomas 8-0 in the WCHA opener for both teams. The redshirt junior right winger from Evergreen Park, Ill., has scored six goals in three games to help the Gophers start the season 3-0.The Gophers are counting on Murphy to raise the bar even higher in an already stellar career, and the early returns suggest she is prepared to do just that.“She’s just kind of taken on the load more significantly as she has in the p...
