Join the picket lines, send support, donations By Malcolm Jarrett April 19, 2021
Buffalo News/Robert KirkhamSteelworkers picket at ATI in Lockport, New York. Union members are on strike in five states.
WASHINGTON, Pa. “The concession stand is closed,” was the slogan used by Steelworkers at Allegheny Technologies Inc. when the bosses locked them out for seven months in 2015-16. Today some 1,300 United Steelworkers members are on strike against ATI bosses’ demands to cut jobs and worsen conditions.
“The concession stand is
still closed,” is the message several of them asked me to report when I visited their picket line here April 5.
The St. Augustine Beach City Commission Monday unanimously named Daniel Carswell the chief of police.
Carswell has served as the interim police chief since Nov. 9, when former chief Rob Hardwick was elected sheriff of St. Johns County. During the meeting, Hardwick voiced his strong support for Carswell as both the sheriff and personally from his family as residents of St. Augustine Beach.
Sgt. Natalie Gillespie also spoke favorably of Carswell, telling commissioners he “has poured his heart and soul” into the St. Augustine Beach Police Department since 2006.
“I am very excited and honored to be selected as chief of police,” Carswell said. “The St. Augustine Beach Police Department has an outstanding history of police chiefs who were loved by this community and the officers they led. I hope to continue in that tradition and maintain the reputation that the SABPD has earned. This agency means everything to me, and I am going to continue to work hard to serve this community
