Letter to the editor: Paid sick leave is good for workers, communities
The letter “Sick leave expansion is anti- business” (June 18, TribLive) fundamentally misunderstands the expansion of Pittsburgh’s Paid Sick Days Act.

Iran’s nuclear sites ‘totally obliterated’? Assessment of damage not yet clear
