Cresco Workers are Fighting for a Union on Legalization Day

Leave a reply

Cresco Labs employees who are fighting for a Union alongside Local 881 UFCW will flyer outside of Cresco’s Wrigleyville dispensary on the 1st day of legal recreational sales to waiting customers. They’ll be there to inform those waiting in line about their campaign for a Union in Joliet, IL and Cresco’s retaliation against their own employees who are standing up for better wages, benefits, schedules, and dignity on the job.

WHEN: Wednesday, January 1, 2020 (6:00am-9:00am)

WHERE: Sunnyside Dispensary – Lakeview (3812 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60613)

WHY: Anti-Union Cannabis Lab is Growing Disappointment for Workers

Workers at Cresco Labs, one of the largest cannabis companies operating in Illinois, are organizing to be represented by Local 881 United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW). Cresco owners rejected the request to recognize Local 881 at their grow facility in Joliet, IL. In response, Local 881 has filed a petition for election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Workers at Cresco in Illinois report that the Company initiated a full anti-Union campaign against them the moment they started their organizing campaign. Local 881 has charged Cresco with committing numerous violations of federal labor laws. The unfair labor practices committed by Cresco are intended to intimidate and coerce the workers from exercising their federal right to organize. Charges filed by Local 881 has filed a petition for election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

⁃ Interrogating workers who are pro-Union

⁃ Unlawful coercion of workers by conferring benefits

⁃ Soliciting workers grievances

“The cannabis industry is about to grow enormously in Illinois,” said Steve Powell, Local 881 President and UFCW International Vice President. “it is very disappointing to see Cresco lowering the standards and expectations of jobs in this industry.” The workers at Cresco Labs in Illinois believe joining the Union will help improve their working conditions. Many of the workers compare the conditions at Cresco to a bad factory. “I would like to unionize Cresco for better pay, a voice at work, better benefits and a better work environment,” said Natajsha, a Cresco employee, “Just because you work in an industry that you are passionate about doesn’t mean you should to be paid less!” Workers will no longer tolerate Cresco’s second-rate working conditions, including:

⁃ Low wages

⁃ Inadequate health plan

⁃ Unpredictable schedules

⁃ Ignored PTO requests

⁃ Lack of respect

“We worked very hard to pass legislation for medical use and worked even harder to pass recreational use,” said Representative Lawrence Walsh Jr. of the Illinois 86th District. “It is a betrayal to all of us that believe in the opportunities of the cannabis industry, when we hear that Cresco has engaged in anti-union activity and refused to recognize the wishes of their workers.” The workers want to address and fix these issues with their employer as the industry grows. Local 881 is committed to helping Cresco workers organize and improve their working conditions. Local 881 will fight to ensure that their rights and dignity are respected.

How Helmets Can Save Your Life (And Face)

Leave a reply

Helmets have been proven to be effective at reducing a person’s risk of head injury or death in the event of a motorcycle or ATV accident. There are numerous ATV accessories you can get for your ride, but the one you do not want to go without is a helmet. Some states may not have laws requiring motorcyclists to wear helmets, but even if that describes your state, you still need to wear one at all times while on a bike. It may just save your life. The next time you find yourself scrolling through ATV tires online, take some time to make sure your helmet is good to go.

Protecting Your Head

The purpose of a helmet is to absorb some of the impact of a collision. In the event you hit the ground, your skull would otherwise take on the full impact. This can lead to traumatic brain injury or even death. A relatively small collision where you were traveling slower than 15 miles per hour can still result in serious injuries without the proper protective gear in place.

Keeping Your Eyes on the Road

A helmet is also good for focusing your attention. A helmet will limit the amount of wind force and noise that comes blowing in your face. With less wind in your ears, you should be able to better hear the cars around you. Similarly to driving, you need to know what other drivers are doing so that you can anticipate anything out of the ordinary. You should also look into purchasing a helmet that will keep sun glare out of your eyes so that you do not hamper your vision.

Safeguarding Your Face

Your skull is not the only thing at risk during a motorcycle or ATV collision. Your jawbone, eyes and nose are also at risk. A lot of riders do not want to wear a helmet because they worry about how it will make them look.

They may also fret about helmet hair once they reach their destinations. However, it is better to go out with friends with helmet hair than a smashed nose. Plus, you can definitely find some stylish helmets that will go splendidly with your ensembles.

Saving Your Life

Caring about your looks is certainly one good reason to wear a helmet. However, the main reason to wear a helmet is that it could potentially save your life. Hundreds of people lose their lives every year because they should have worn a helmet while riding a motorcycle or ATV. You do not have to fall into those statistics. You deserve to get to where you are going safely. A good helmet may cost a bit of money, but it is a worthwhile investment. You will be glad you have a helmet should you ever end up in an accident.

There are numerous helmets available online. You do not even have to search for something as specific as Kenda K587 Bear Claw HTR Front Tire. Just search for “helmet,” and you will soon find something that looks great and keeps you protected.

Time To Replace Your Semi Truck Headlights?

Leave a reply

If you think about the safety equipment on your truck, chances are you think about your brakes, the marker lights or other semi truck parts that stand out. However, you may not think about your headlights. However, these are among the most important safety parts. They let you see what is ahead of you during dark conditions and also alert other drivers to your location.

Taking care of the safety equipment on your truck is an essential part of maintenance. However, if you are like many truck drivers and owners, you may be uncertain when it is time to replace your headlights.

Signs Your Lights Need Replacing

Many people avoid changing their lights until they burn out. This is a mistake because lights can dim over time. This could leave you with significantly reduced light output. If you have incandescent bulbs, their light output may have reduced by 20% within the first two years. Even more modern LED lights should be replaced regularly.

Over-the-road truckers should be especially careful about replacing their headlights. You don’t want to be a hundred miles into a multi-day route when you realize that your headlights need to be replaced.

Changing your headlights on a regular basis is a good idea and relatively inexpensive. Consult your owner’s manual for the specific intervals recommended for your vehicle and headlights. Always change them both at the same time. If one is on its last legs, the other is almost certainly following close behind.

If you notice that your lights seem dim or inconsistent, it is time to replace them. It is almost always better to be safe than sorry with your lights. Headlights are typically different for each vehicle model. For example, Freightliner Century headlights are different from Mack headlights.

For semi-trucks, most people replace the entire headlight assembly. This can be easier than just replacing the bulb and avoids the possibility of the lenses getting cloudy or dirty. Plus, trucks undergo a lot more wear than passenger cars and need parts replaced regularly.

Replacing the Headlights

Typically, replacing headlights is fairly simple. The steps vary depending on the model, so consult your owner’s manual to find what you need to do. Most people can perform this in an hour or less. All you will need to do is remove the mounting screws that hold the headlight assembly in place, unplug the lights and replace them with the new ones. Always turn them on when you are done to ensure they are working.

If you want a little more style, you can find headlights in all sorts of designs. You may also be able to switch to colored lights but check the local laws before making this modification.

Get Started

Changing your headlights is easy to do and well worth the time and expense. Make sure you get the right replacements. For example, you will need to get specific Peterbilt 389 headlights for that model. Keep in mind that the fit may change over different model years. Get started replacing your headlights today by ordering the parts.

After you have moved to a new state, your work is far from done. There are many necessary things to do before settling in your new home. It can be very stressful and time-consuming. People are moving to another state for various reasons, but nevertheless, the process requires a lot of planning, determination, and effort to be able to transition into a new home smoothly.

To help facilitate the process and make it as convenient as possible, we have listed a few important things to do after moving to a new state.

Find a job

Work-related relocation is one of the most common reasons for people to move to another state. Some companies opt for relocating an employee between cities or states to cut costs. If you’re transferring with the company that you already work for, then you are considered very lucky. But if the forthcoming move is not in relation to your job, try to secure work in the new state well before relocating. Research online and look for the professional listings that you are qualified for. Utilize the advice of friends and acquaintances in your new state, as they may be able to supply you with beneficial assistance. Professional pointers and references are always helpful. Update your cover letter, resume and referral letters from your past employers.

Find a new family Doctor

It is essential to find a good family physician for you and your family. Find a doctor who is a qualified specialist that can help keep you healthy. Primary care doctors can aid you when you need a broad range of medical issues treated. They will also be able to refer you to a specialist with a deeper set of skills who can treat you when you have specific medical care needs. Inquire through your old doctor, through co-workers, new friends, and neighbors for references. If this is not an option try and visit a local hospital near your new home and speak with the nurses and doctors.

Get connected

If you have kids or work from home, set up all the necessary utilities as soon as you arrive at your new home. Many individuals rely on a phone and internet for their business and livelihood. By doing so, it will also help you easily do online searches on needed information about your new state.

Congenital Heart Defects: What’s the long term outlook?

Leave a reply

A congenital heart defect is a heart problem that has been there since the time of birth and is one of the most common types of birth defects. Congenital heart defects can affect the blood vessels in the heart, the walls of the heart, or the valves of the heart.

Types Of Congenital Heart Defects

Congenital heart defects can be of various types; some don’t cause any problems while others can lead to complications. Congenital heart defects are related to heart wall defects, heart valve defects, and blood vessel defects. While there are more than 18 types of congenital heart defects, the following are some of the popular types:

Ventricular septal defect or VSD
Hole in the heart
Atrial septal defect or ASD
Valve defects
Complete atrioventricular canal defect or CAVC
Tetralogy of Fallot
D-transposition of the great arteries
Truncus arteriosus
Patent ductus arteriosus or PDA
I-transposition of the great arteries

Causes And Symptoms

Congenital heart defects are caused when the structure of the heart is not developed properly early on. The congenital heart defect affects how the blood flows through the heart, which in turn, may affect breathing. The causes of congenital heart defects are as follows:

Illegal drugs or alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to a child having a congenital heart defect.
If there is a history of heart defects in the family then that could be a cause.
If a pregnant woman has a viral infection during the start of her pregnancy then there are higher chances that the child will have a congenital heart defect.
A spike in blood sugar levels can lead to congenital heart disease.
Intake of certain drugs during the course of pregnancy may result in the child will have a congenital heart defect.

Following are the symptoms of congenital heart disease that shows in Newborns:

Very low weight at birth
Blue fingers, lips, toes, and skin
Slow growth compared to normal
Difficulty during feeding
Inability to breathe properly
Pain in the chest

Adults show the following symptoms of congenital heart disease

Difficulty in breathing
Getting tired very easily
Chest pain that doesn’t go away quickly
Inability to exercise like usual

Some children do not exhibit congenital heart defect symptoms early on after birth. They may show symptoms after a few years. These include swelling, dizziness, tiredness, inability to breathe, feeling dizzy, and abnormal heart rhythms.

Treatment Options Available: Is Surgery Needed?

There are numerous treatment options for congenital heart defects but these depend on how severe the problem is. For some people, treatment might not be necessary initially but monitoring of the condition might be necessary. For other people, surgery or medications might be required to treat the problem at hand.

Sometimes, if a congenital heart defect was treated in childhood can come back during adulthood, due to the original treatment not working anymore. Treatment may not always cure the problem but will enable you to lead a happy and healthy life.

Your doctor might prescribe medicines that enable proper heart function and eliminate the chances of blood clot formation or to have a pacemaker implanted to normalize your heart rate. Else, he may recommend implantable cardioverter defibrillators or ICDs. You might require open-heart surgery for blood vessel widening or heart valve repair. Another treatment option is a catheter procedure that involves using a thin tube instead of making an incision to treat a particular congenital heart defect. You might require a heart transplant surgery if complications occur although this is rare.

Road To Recovery

You should continue to see your doctor after treatment has been completed so that you get proper follow-up care that is important for a speedy recovery. Depending on the treatment you receive, your doctor will inform you about how long the recovery will take and how you can take proper care of yourself. If you have undergone a surgery, then you might need some months to fully recover. Make sure you ask your doctor about what you can safely do and what you should avoid doing while recovering from the treatment.

Lifestyle Changes To Adopt

If you are pregnant at present or if you are planning on becoming pregnant then it is important that you make some changes to ensure your child does not have any congenital heart defects. You should avoid consuming alcohol and you should not take illegal drugs as these can have a negative impact. You should keep your blood sugar levels in control. If you have diabetes then you should speak to your doctor about managing diabetes. You should take measures to prevent getting German measles if you haven’t been vaccinated for it. You can talk to your doctor about other lifestyle changes you can adopt.
