Starting this week. The price of Forever stamps has already
gone up. It happened quietly this weekend. The price hike
(01:14):
is almost seven and a half percent. Stamps go from
seventy three cents to seventy eight cents in the blink
of an eye. A Postal Service says the price of
postcards and letter sized documents sent anywhere in the world
have also increased, all in an effort to bring financial
stability to the agency, and increasingly frustrated President Donald Trump

In June alone, the.

Choice cds's Chris Livesey. The President will meet with NATO's
Secretary General today at the White House and will resume
shipment of the weapons through a system that he is
expected to announce will be paid for one hundred percent.
The US Secret Service failed the president after a sniper
fired eight shots in an assassination attempt during a presidential
(02:23):
campaign rally a year ago in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Senate
Committee report out on the one year anniversary of the
attempt on the then presidential candidate's life, blames a castcade
of errors from agents, who say extra security was denied
and communication and coordination between local agencies and the Secret
Service was severely lacking before Thomas Crooks was taken out
(02:45):
by agents while opening fire at the events last summer.
How about them Red Sox, They hit the All Star
Break with a ten game winning streak. Did anybody see
this coming? COMBC Easter Moholland is here to see it happening.
I know you didn't wild, right, but it happened.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Good morning, Jeffrey. The team's longest streak here since twenty eighteen.
And we know what happened then, don't we. Indeed, what
a weekend to take us into the break here too,
a sweep of the Rays. We had Saddan Rafaela with
the swing of the year, so far Friday night swinging around.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
That doesn't get.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
Old, does it.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
The call by Dave O'Brien nless and well done there.
It was just a great weekend to be a Red
Sox fan.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
It's been a great ten days to be a Red Yeah. Really,
it really was good stuff. Also that Friday night game,
Christian Willette, the brother of our own Jay jailare in
the newsroom, did the national end.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I was in the ballyard. He nailed at Jeffrey. It
was a lovely version.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Well, I find it interesting they did not ask Jay Willette.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I think that was a wise choice.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I thank you, Drew. You may have noticed a recent pattern,
especially if you're away from the water over the weekend.
We started with clouds and and we ended with the
copious amounts of sunshine. It looks like that will be
a bit of a struggle today, although we're going to
start off the same way under mostly cloudy skies. It's
a warm and sticky seventy degrees here in Boston on
this Monday morning. We will see some sunshine throughout the
(04:14):
afternoon as daytime highs we'll get back into the mid
eighties today. Looks like we could see a thunderstorm in
areas overnight tonight, otherwise mostly cloudy lows only in the seventy.
One of the warmest and stickiest weeks of the season
is coming up at us, and we could be flirting
with ninety degrees for most days during the work week,
and the extended outlook into the weekend looks like it's
(04:35):
going to be warm and muggy as well. Right now
in Boston, cloudy skies and seventy as we get started
on this brand new work week together, it's six oh
six on this Monday morning. Work and family are squaring
off at the office these days.
Speaker 9 (04:47):
New surveys showtime and again that more men than women
are back at the office these days. Researchers say the
gap can be accountable to women's preferences, but more often
than not, it's likely due to the responsibility of childcare
keeping them on remote. The Labor Department says as of
last year, twenty nine percent of men continue to work
at home, while more than one third of women stay home,
(05:08):
a number that remains pretty consistent. Experts say flexibility at
work is a huge benefit, but women risk falling behind
on career advancement opportunities. Jay will ed WBZ Boston's news radio.

And thus begins week number three of a sanitation workers
strike in several cities and towns in Greater Boston.

off Route one in Peabody, where the strike is going
into week two. Folks here, they're now being joined by
the Republic Services brothers and sisters in Orange County, California,
who are also on strike in a show of solidarity,
not picking up trash in several communities since Wednesday. Thomas
Mary is president of Teamsters Local twenty five.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
So the fight is about that healthcare.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The fight is about community standards.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Really is all we want is the community standard, which
means we get what the guy down the street page.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
Republic Services meanwhile accuses teams to of not taking negotiations
seriously after offering a nearly forty three percent wage increase
in Peabody. James Rojas WBZ Boston's News radio, the.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Trash will be picked up in Philadelphia starting today, where
city workers handle that job. They've agreed to go back
to work after hammering out a tentative agreement with city
officials and Hollywood. We learn has a pulse.

Superman soared to one hundred and twenty two million dollars
in US ticket sales.
