Watch: Student attends college graduation ceremony while in labor
student out of Michigan got to skip ahead of the line to receive her diploma during her graduation ceremony but not for the reason one might think. Kelsey Hudie was allowed to receive her diploma a tad earlier than everyone because she was in labor. The mother-to-be was 38 weeks pregnant but her baby couldn’t wait any longer. In a video taken during the ceremony at Henry Ford College on May 6, Russell Kavalhuna, the school’s president, announced to the graduates that one of their peers would need to be making a speedier exit. Still image taken from video during the Henry Ford College graduation ceremony on May 6 showing Kelsey Hudie receiving her diploma while in labor. (Henry Ford College via Storyful)"When we bring people through Henry Ford College, they’ve got grit, and they’ve got perseverance, and this student has told me and us, ’I’m gonna walk across that stage, despite the fact that I am 38 weeks pregnant, I am dilated, and I can’t wait for you, Russ, and your friends to talk for an hour and a half, so I need to graduate quickly.’ And so what do you think I said? There’s a few things more important than a college degree, and that’s the thing she’s gotta get to," Kavalhuna said. Hudie could then be seen walking across the stage and receiving her diploma as a lullaby played in the background. "On the Tuesday before we graduated, they said that I was dilated two or three times, so that wasn’t going to stop me from walking across the stage.

Chipotle agrees to pay $240K to employees of shuttered Maine store

(Photo by Beata Zawrzel/NurPhoto via Getty Images) Chipotle Mexican Grill agreed to pay nearly a quarter of a million dollars to dozens of former employees from its shuttered Maine restaurant. The fast casual food chain agreed to issue $240,000 in back pay to 24 employees who worked at the Augusta location "as part of a settlement for illegally closing the restaurant in the middle of a union organizing drive" in July, according to the Maine AFL-CIO. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) confirmed to FOX Business that the money will be issued to the employees who were on the payroll when the store was shuttered. Maine AFL-CIO, a state federation of over 160 unions across Maine, announced on Facebook that this marks a "win for food service workers across the country." MICHIGAN BECOMES FIRST STATE IN DECADES TO REPEAL 'RIGHT-TO-WORK' LAW"It sends a message to corporations that shutting down a store and blackballing workers didn't work for Chipotle, and it won't work for them either," Brandi McNease, a former Augusta Chipotle employee and lead Chipotle United organizer, said in a statement. The NLRB announced in November that the company violated federal labor law by closing a Maine restaurant before labor organizers had the chance to try and unionize. Workers at the store filed a petition with the NLRB in June seeking to hold a union election.
