Cars driving into buildings happens disturbingly often in Columbus. When that happens, workers should not be forced to work in a potentially unsafe building.
oftunion.bsky.social Ohio Federation of Teachers @oftunion.bsky.social · 5h
Do you remember when a car crashed into @columbuslibrary.bsky.social Parsons through a glass wall?
The next day, staff worked with plywood covering the broken wall & w/out reassurance about the structural integrity of the building.
CML workers are forming a union to have input on workplace safety.
Graphic with a photo of AJ, a Customer Services Specialist at CML Parsons Branch, with this quote: “For too long, CML has prioritized business-as-usual over employee health and wellbeing. When a car struck the Parsons Branch building earlier this year after closing on a Saturday, my coworkers were made to work the following day, a four hour Sunday shift, with a gaping hole in the wall covered by a single sheet of plywood. This seemed to pass without little reassurance of the structural integrity of our building or any consideration of the traumas such an incident would invoke. Staff deserve a seat at the table and a voice to advocate for safety measures when it’s our wellbeing at stake.” A photo of a car crashed through the CML Parsons Branch, the glass wall is demolished and half of the car is inside the building.

A reminder that @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social always brings up, you can call a stadium whatever you want. You don’t have to do free advertising for a corporation.

Recent changes at HUD are going to have devastating consequences for 10,000 formerly unhoused Ohioans.

Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio HUD Cuts to Ohio's Homeless Funding Sudden federal policy shifts will increase homelessness in Ohio HUD's last minute changes to the Continuum of Care (CoC) program will result in Ohio losing $80 million for housing formerly homeless people. Today Ohio currently receives $114 million for permanent housing 14,000 households housed FY 2025 CoC policy changes Tomorrow Ohio will receive $34 million for permanent housing 4,000 housed 10,000 unhoused Statewide Impact Coc funds currently support vulnerable people in communities throughout Ohio. If HUD's planned changes take effect, 10,000 households, including children, veterans, and people with disabilities, will lose their housing Lucas $2.5 million houses 750 Cuyahoga $37 million houses 3,600 Summit $3.6 million houses 755 Franklin $15.3 million houses 2,700 Mahoning $1.3 million houses 200 Montgomery $9.8 million houses 1,000 Stark $2.9 million houses 300 Hamilton $21 million houses 3,000 Ohio's 80 Rural Counties $21 million houses 1,700 CoC Cuts Make No Cents Federal CoC funds provide homes and services to keep Ohioans affordably housed.

i discovered this calculator showing financial differences between owning a car vs not

going car free can make you a millionaire!

bicycleuniverse.com/car-free-mil...
You're paying more for your car than you think. A typical American who goes car-free for 35 years can save over a million dollars, even adjusted for inflation, and even if they pay for taxi, bus, and car-share trips often. Use the calculator to find how much you can save in your particular situation. Yes, not everyone can go car-free, but more can do it than would care to admit.
