Fenway Park and MGM Music Hall concession workers ratified a new contract with Aramark! They had been without a contract from the end of 2024 until yesterday.

Full details are not released yet. But it sounds like the employees got more stable hours, increases in wages/commissions, and better staffing ratios on the self-checkout machines.

Last summer they had an intermittent strike at Fenway against Aramark (not against the Red Sox).

MIT professor shot at his Massachusetts home dies

Imagine getting arrested for the body you've always wanted? Well, that's exactly what happened to the Harvard University morgue manager.

Dark humor aside, Harvard University Medical School Morgue Manager Cedric Lodge and his wife were stealing and selling the scalps, heads, skin, bones, and hearts of those who would be used by medical students. Whoa, if that isn't fucked up enough...

From the article:

"That's where the investigation originated, after local police in the township of East Pennsboro found a bucket of body parts in the basement of a collector and reseller named Jeremy Pauley. The discovery led investigators back to the Lodges, who they say were a hub in a nationwide network that sold or traded human remains."
