Teamsters Local 25 awards scholarships
Teamsters Local 25
Teamsters Local 25 awarded college scholarships worth $58,000 to 29 high school students during its monthly membership meeting.
The scholarships were presented during a stirring ceremony outside the union hall in Charlestown, which included words of inspiration from Teamsters Local 25 President Sean O’Brien and special guest Boston City Councilor Michelle Wu, the Local 25 endorsed candidate for Mayor of Boston. Teamsters Local 25 also produced a social media video tribute honoring the college-bound seniors.
Brady Leslie, a recent Braintree High School graduate who will attend Massachusetts Maritime Academy, is a recipient of the Teamsters Local 25 Regan Communications Group Scholarship Award. He is the son of Will Leslie a Teamsters Local 25 member who works for UPS.
I was surprised to see a coastal cruise ship docked at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy last month. At first, I thought it might have encountered a problem and made an emergency stop. It turns out it was a planned stop to give passengers a tour of the campus and a chance to visit our newly revitalized downtown. What a great idea! Why havenât we been doing this for years? How could we have overlooked such an easy opportunity to show off the wonderful assets Bourne has to offer?
According to Elizabeth Simmons, vice-president of external affairs at the academy, American Cruise Lines suggested the visit, and school administrators liked the idea. The cruise line employs academy graduates and hoped to recruit more with this stop. Unfortunately, most of the cadets were away on their annual sea term. This may be the first time a cruise ship has visited Buzzards Bay, but not the first time someone has suggested tapping the canal traffic for visitors.
Great place for a tunnel, right there. (Photo: Joe Raedle, Getty Images)
Officials from Fort Lauderdale, Florida formally accepted a proposal from Elon Musk’s Boring Company on Tuesday to build an underground transit tunnel.
“This could be a truly innovative way to reduce traffic congestion,” Mayor Dean Trantalis said in a tweet.
I hope everyone there has a submarine to use in this new tunnel because it looks like it is going to be underwater before long. Elon’s tunnel projects haven’t exactly gone well in the past just look at accounts from test rides of the Boring Company’s Los Angeles “hyperloop.” But building one in Fort Lauderdale comes with a whole other set of issues.
