Home Depot workers in Philadelphia petition to form first store-wide union

PHILADELPHIA - Home Depot workers in Philadelphia have filed a petition with the federal labor board to form what could be the first store-wide union at the world's largest home improvement retailer.The petition, filed with the National Labor Relations Board this week, seeks to form a collective bargaining unit for 274 employees who work in merchandising, specialty and operations. The federal agency's database shows no other attempts to form a store-wide union at the company, though a group of Home Depot drivers successfully unionized with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in 2019.Sara Gorman, a Home Depot spokesperson, said the company is aware the filing and "we look forward to talking to our associates about their concerns.""While we will of course work through the NLRB process, we do not believe unionization is the best solution for our associates," Gorman said in an email.Vincent Quiles, a store employee who is leading the petition, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

And after the Phillies waited out a 3 1/2-hour rain delay — a break interim manager Rob Thomson sheepishly admitted he spent watching the NFL — Rhys Hoskins crowed to the media he was beating Bryson Stott in their fantasy matchup."Literally the whole world knows now I’m beating you in fantasy football," Hoskins yelled down to Stott after his interview ended.Who’s hot, who’s not, which QB stinks, it’s all on the table for a lively debate.But inside the clubhouse, one topic largely consciously avoided is Philadelphia’s spot in the NL postseason standings.

'It's worth it': Georgia gas station loses nearly $12K selling discounted gas

HINESVILLE, Ga. - The high price of fuel has caused a lot of pain for drivers across the country, so one Georgia gas station gave back to the community on the Fourth of July with heavily discounted gas.On Monday, the A to Z Food Mart in Hinesville, Georgia dropped the price to less than $2 a gallon - less than half the average price in the Peach State, WTOC reported.People lined up around the block and waited for hours to fill up at the Chevron gas station off of West Oglethorpe Parkway. "Everyone’s wallet’s taking a hit right now in 2022, so the least we can do as a locally, independently owned convenient store is give back for the community," Ravi Patel, the owner of the gas station, told WTOC.The sale of gas lasted for just three hours. In that time, Patel estimated he lost around $12,000.But Patel says it's worth the price to see smiles on his customers' faces.According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of unleaded gas in Georgia is $4.26 - around half a dollar less than the national average of $4.752 a gallon.Georgia's price is around two cents less than Wednesday, 10 cents less than a week ago, seven cents less than a month ago, and around $1.30 more than the same time in 2021.The most expensive gas in the state is in Atlanta, Hinesville-Fort Stewart, and Athens.
