Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill, who is about to start his second season with the team, is under investigation for allegedly slapping an employee at the Haulover Marina. The Miami-Dade Police Department said they are investigating the allegation of assault and battery involving the 29-year-old athlete that occurred on Sunday. The workers at Kelley Fishing Fleet, located at 10800 Collins Ave., did not want to speak on camera, but one of the owners told 7News that Hill hit a 57-year-old marina worker.

WHISTLER, B.C. — Details on the “next generation” of federal infrastructure funding programs are on track to be released this fall, Infrastructure Minister Dominic LeBlanc said after meeting with his provincial and territorial counterparts in British Columbia.LeBlanc said Wednesday that the conversations were a “very positive step in making sure that those programs are the right ones for the whole country, that we have long-term, predictable funding and the flexibility to respond to different priorities.”That’s after Canada’s premiers wrote a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week pushing for more information on what would replace the $33-billion Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, which has been fully allocated as of March. The letter said provinces, territories and communities are facing unprecedented cost pressures on existing projects, while the absence of an announcement in this year’s federal budget has created uncer...

But it is not the last word on the subject; Apple is free to appeal the ruling to the agency’s full board or to federal appeals court.Apple had no comment on the ruling Wednesday.Lauren Esposito, the judge in the case, found that an Apple Store supervisor at the World Trade Center location had improperly asked an employee about his discussions with other workers about wage levels and about the employee’s opinion of unionization efforts across the company. Such activities ran afoul of U.S. labor law that protects the right of workers to organize, the judge wrote.Similarly, Esposito ruled that Apple managers had singl...
