County exploring options to complete new library - Shore Daily News

nnnindonesia.blogspot.com

Th e completion date for the new Eastern Shore Public Library is now in question following the dismissal of the contractor,  R.H.Construction, by the Accomack County Board of Supervisors at Wednesday night’s meeting.

In a letter to the Cincinnati Insurance Company and to Edgar Flores, President of R.H. Construction, County Administrator Mike Mason cited three main reasons for the dismissal.

Failure to complete by the deadline and lack of due diligence was the first reason.  \After several extensions, a memo of understanding negotiated in late January called for completion of the project on or before July 29, 2022. It also cited the lack of due diligence to complete the project thereafter.

Defective work was cited as the second reason for termination. The roof of the new library has been leaking for several months posing a risk of damage to the roof and the interior of the structure. There were several other smaller issues as well. The County asserts that the defects in construction violated the MOU  and constitute grounds for the termination.

The letter cited as the third reason is that the County is aware of two subcontractors who claim not to have been paid for their work. The County contends there may be several others, including the  failure to pay Lexington National Insurance on September 14, 2023 and failure to pay Shore Lock and Key on September 19, along with other possible failures to pay constitutes grounds for the termination of the contract.

According to Mason,  a meeting is scheduled with the Insurance Agency early this week. Mason said that there are four options, which include having Cincinnati Insurance paying the County and having the County hire a contractor to complete the project.  Another option would be for the Insurance Company bring in their own contractors to finish.

Negotiations are underway to set a path to complete the project which has been delayed numerous times due to supply chain issues and issues with the contractor.

HAMPTON, Va. – Playing in a stadium packed with a boisterous Homecoming crowd, the Spider football team wasted no time in quieting the stands Saturday at Hampton. Nineteenth-ranked Richmond scored just 1:47 after kickoff, as a 22-yard touchdown pass from Reece Udinski to Jakob Herres capped a five-play, 75-yard drive. It was the first of three TD passes for Udinski, who finished 30-37 for 314 yards in Richmond's 41-10 win.
 
"It sets the momentum. It sets the tone for the team," said Spiders linebacker Tristan Wheeler of Richmond's early score. "[The defense] builds off of the offense and they build off of us. We feed off of each other so for them to score first, it just fuels the defense."
 
The Spiders finished the game with 498 yards, their most in a regulation game this season, and posted 41 points, their most in a road game since October 24, 2015 when they defeated JMU 59-49.
 
"Our coaches have done a great job. Our offense knows what to do," said Spiders head coach Russ Huesman. "They know how to get lined up. They know who to block. They know what route to run. We've done a tremendous job on the offensive side of the ball coaching these kids up. I'm really proud of them."
 
Richmond's receiving corps was led by Jakob Herres, who finished with 109 yards and a TD on seven receptions, and Jasiah Williams, who had nine catches for 98 yards and a score.
 
The Spiders rushing attack produced 205 yards on 30 carries, including an 87-yard TD burst by Fonnae Webb to cap the scoring late in the fourth quarter. Webb's TD, which came on his first career carry, was the fifth-longest run in program history and the longest since Tim Hightower went 90 yards at Northeastern in 2007.
 
Despite the offensive outburst, Huesman said after the game that he's looking for even more from his offense. "We've got to get better. We've got to continue to improve. Jake made some great catches. Jasiah made some great catches. But we can't have the drops. We can't have those penalties. I want to be perfect. I don't want to be just 'Alright, we threw it and caught it well.' I want to be perfect."
 
The Richmond defense was nearly perfect after halftime, allowing zero points in the second half for a second straight week while holding the Pirates to 31 yards. Hampton ran just a pair of plays on the Spiders side of the field in the second half, and the Pirates most promising drive ended on a downfield interception by Wheeler, one of several deep passes the Richmond defense repulsed Saturday.
 
"We have the ability to stop the run game and the [deep] shots," said Wheeler. "That's what a lot of people are doing now. They know we can stop the run game so they [try] to hit the shots."

With the win, Richmond improved to 5-2 on the season and 3-1 in the CAA. The 5-2 mark is UR's best through seven games since opening 6-1 in 2016 en route to a run to the FCS Quarterfinals.
 
After marching down the field on its opening possession, the Spiders made the score 10-0 with 3:02 remaining in the first quarter on an 18-yard field goal by Andrew Lopez after a UR drive stalled on Hampton's one-yard line.
 
Jerry Garcia Jr. stretched the lead to 17-0 on the second play of the second quarter, scooting untouched 14 yards the end zone on a well-designed end-around that fooled the Pirates defense.
 
Following a Hampton score, Udinski found Williams from one yard out 1:55 before halftime to make the score 24-7. After the Pirates two-minute offense moved the ball inside the Richmond 10-yard line, the Spiders forced three straight incompletions in the final seconds of the first half, forcing Hampton to settle for a field goal and a 24-10 halftime deficit.
 
Richmond put the game out of reach on its opening possession of the third quarter, going 63 yards to the end zone in six plays as Udinski floated a TD pass to Leroy Henley near the back pylon from 13 yards out.
 
Another field goal by Lopez made the score 34-10 Richmond with 4:48 remaining, and Webb's TD extended the lead to 41-10. Richmond's 31-point margin of victory was its largest in a road game since a 47-6 win at VMI on September 15, 2012.
 
The Spiders will remain on the road next week, heading north to Maine to take on the Black Bears on Saturday, October 29. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 PM on FloFootball.

Messenger: Ladue Starbucks workers strike after colleague fired for union T-shirt - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

nnnindonesia.blogspot.com

Tony Messenger

Bradley Rohlf, who worked at the Starbucks in Ladue at Lindbergh Boulevard and Clayton Road, was fired Friday morning for wearing a union shirt to work. Rohlf and most of the workers at that store are members of the Starbucks Workers Unite union. 

Tony Messenger

LADUE — As Alex Barge was walking into work at the Starbucks here at 6:30 on Friday morning, her co-worker was already heading out.

“I’ve been fired,” Bradley Rohlf told Barge, allegedly for wearing a union T-shirt at work.

For the past several months, workers at this Starbucks and several others in the St. Louis region have been organizing under the Starbucks Workers Unite union. The store at the intersection of Lindbergh Boulevard and Clayton Road is one of five local stores to have officially formed the union.

As soon as Barge heard Rohlf’s news, she got to work, texting her union colleagues. By 7 a.m., the store was shut down, as the union staged its second strike in the past month.

People are also reading…

“We knew it was a possibility,” that management would fire workers for wearing their union T-shirts, even though that is protected activity according to the National Labor Relations Board, Rohlf says. “But I was kind of surprised in the moment it happened.”

Rohlf and several other workers, including Barge and Jon Gamache, all union organizers, were first disciplined for wearing their shirts on Sept. 28. That was the day I wrote about their first one-day strike, which was held mostly to protest inadequate scheduling in the store. The workers say they’ve been working shifts with far too few workers, even though the store has plenty of employees.

On Oct. 13, the employees say, several of them got written up for wearing the shirts again. And on Friday, Rohlf was fired. The firing follows a trend across the country, from New York to Chicago to San Antonio to Memphis and now St. Louis, where workers have been fired ostensibly for participating in protected union activity. Workers in several stores across the country have been reinstated with back pay after filing NLRB complaints, which Rohlf says he plans to do here.

The Ladue store had a sign on it saying the store was “temporarily closed,” while the workers who were on strike formed a picket line with signs along Clayton Road. The manager inside the store declined to open the door to answer questions when I knocked on the door.

A sign on the door of the Starbucks in Ladue indicates it is closed, as the workers went on strike on Oct. 21, 2022.

Tony Messenger

Nationally, spokespeople for Starbucks have defended the various firings, suggesting they were unrelated to union activity. “I’m not an anti-union person. I am pro-Starbucks, pro-partner, pro-Starbucks culture,” Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said in April. “We didn’t get here by having a union.”

Just last week, the NLRB reinstated a Starbucks union employee in Ann Arbor, Michigan, after the labor judge determined the company “acted with animus” in firing the employee. Similarly in August, a federal judge in Memphis agreed with an NLRB ruling reinstating seven union workers there.

“Such tolerance before union activity, but terminations resulting thereafter, supports an inference of discriminatory motive,” the judge wrote.

Rohlf has worked for Starbucks for the past year, and previously worked for four years at the same store. He says while he wishes he still had his job, he’s “energized” by the firing, and the response of his union colleagues.

“I’m glad it was me, and not anybody else in the store,” Rohlf said. “I’m fully confident that our filing at the NLRB will be accepted and I’ll eventually be reinstated with back pay.”

As the workers held their signs on the sidewalk by Clayton Road, drivers honked their car horns in support. A couple of regulars stopped by to get the scoop and support the workers. A retired union pipefitter stopped by to give them some cash for lunch.

Gamache said the strike might last through the weekend this time. He’s prepared for the possibility that he and Barge and others who have been wearing their union T-shirts to work could face the same fate as Rohlf.

“If we had a union contract in place before we started, a firing like this couldn’t have happened,” Rohlf says. “Me being fired by Starbucks is a perfect example of the environment they are creating in their stores.”
