Plans have changed for the Orange bridge Terri Miles, editor Amity Observer
Orange Board of Finance member Dave Moakley works as an organizer of the International Union of Operating Engineers. As a town resident, he recognized the bridge as an important resource for residents who hike the trails and for Scout groups that use nearby Camp Cedarcrest.
The bridge is constructed of several telephone poles, with two-by-six boards for railings and wooden slats for the walking surface. In the event of an emergency, the bridge is wide enough for the Orange Police Department to drive their ATVs across.
'We're going to be replacing it with an exact duplicate,' Moakley said. 'It's going to be designed by the Carpenters Union. They'll do the blueprints and construct it at their training center in Wallingford.' The completed bridge will be disassembled and trucked to Orange where it will replace the old bridge sometime next spring, according to Moakley.
City works to keep Baker By ROBERT GOLD, HollandSentinel.com
Moving the facility is a mistake, said Pierre Fowler, a shop steward at the Holland plant. Fowler is also financial secretary for the factory's union, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.
'Baker Furniture is as much of Holland as the Tulip Time parade,' Fowler said, adding that many of the workers are highly skilled craftsmen who have spent decades with Baker.
Tuesday, Fowler and other members of the union's bargaining team met with Kohler. Fowler said they expected to discuss a new contract, since the current deal expires Friday. Instead, they were told the plant was closing.
Correction last week's carpenters' union story Hingham Journal, MA
Here is the corrected quote:
'We're lucky to have a delegation that understands the issues average working people face, particularly in the construction industry,' Mark Erlich, organizing director of the New England Regional Council of Carpenters, said. 'I think this is a strong message to Erickson that the Carpenters Union is a credible organization that should not be ignored.'
The Journal, which incorrectly typed 'should now be ignored' regrets the error.------------------------------------------- posted 7:19 AM :: reference link ::
