Yard Goats to play three games as 'Los Chivos de Hartford' The Hartford Yard Goats will play three games as "Los Chivos de Hartford" in a nod to Connecticut's latino population, the team announced. The name, which translates from Spanish to "the Goats of Hartford," is part of Minor League Baseball's inaugural Copa de la Diversion campaign to celebrate the league's diverse fanbase.

Labor Committee passes 'workplace fairness' bills A bill that would raise the state's minimum wage to $15 squeaked out of committee, along with a slate of other "workplace fairness" proposals promoted by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. The Labor and Public Employees Committee approved legislation that would raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2021, create the nation's first paid sick leave law, update existing anti- harassment requirements and elevate economic security for workers, women and families across the state. The legislation still needs approval from the House and Senate, in addition to the governor's signature before they could become law. Bills fostering equal pay and anti-sexual harassment passed the committee unanimously, however, legislation supporting minimum wage increases and paid family and medical leave were split on party lines, with Republicans in opposition. Bills supporting paid family and medical leave would provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave to qualifying employees, at 100 percent salary up to a cap of $1,000 per week. Other bills backing equal pay, which passed unanimously, would prohibit employers from inquiring about a prospective employee's previous wage, preventing that employee from inquiring about another employee's salary, and requiring employees to sign a waiver denying their right to disclose wages.
