Coal Miners in Unions Experience Less Injuries

We’ve been hearing a lot lately about how bad unions are—and about how politicians are so gung ho about cutting their rights to organize, collectively bargain, and generally stand up for their own rights the way we’ve fought for them to allow to do for years. It turns out that research supports the fact that unions make it safer for people to go to work—at least in some industries.

Pittsburgh, PA Unemployment

According to the most recent information gathered at Simply Hired (a great resource for local jobs, BTW), the unemployment rate has been hovering around 10.5%, which is worse than the national average of 6.9% that is the average across the country. This rate is also a little bit over the 10% point most community leaders fear.?

Milwaukee Marriott Project Approved

Today, the Milwaukee Common Council voted 13-2 to approve the proposed $50 million downtown Marriott project. This project will add hundreds of jobs in various sectors of the economy including construction and service employment positions that the city has been in need of.The project is expected to take around 2 years to complete once it has begun. I think this is fantastic news which will give job seekers in Milwaukee, or better yet the state of Wisconsin - something to have faith in.In the beginning of the economic downturn this type of project would have been almost unimaginable, but now, with a little more confidence - things seems to be taking off.

No More Natural Gas Drilling in Pittsburgh

As a sophomore in college, I was able to travel across a bit of the country, and one of my favorite stops was in Pittsburgh. What a wonderful city! The people were all friendly, and driving into the city from the tunnels, seeing all of the hills covered with snow, was beautiful. The university where we debating was also lovely (and had the best veggie wraps ever), and I found myself thinking, I could really live here. One of my favorite pictures from my whole college career is, in fact, of my debate partner and me standing in front of a Pittsburgh skyline, with our arms in the air and grinning like idiots.
