Former Columbus City Council Candidate Joe Motil states that it is finally time for construction industry leaders to begin addressing the racist, sexist, and homophobic environment on construction projects here in Central Ohio. Columbus Business First reported (Facebook data center construction halted in New Albany after "racist graffiti" found on site) today that Turner Construction halted work activities at the Facebook Data Center construction site in New Albany due to “racially charged graffiti” that was scrawled on six portable toilets on the site. The Facebook construction project is currently the largest project in Central Ohio.
The company said, “This is totally unacceptable. We suspended work to send a message about how serious we take this behavior and to provide time for every single person on the site to participate in anti-bias training. Work will resume when training is complete.”
Senator Rob Portman’s Office, 37 West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio
On Friday, August 7, 2020, if no reasonable agreement is extended to the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Insurance, a group of concerned Ohio citizens will gather outside Senator Rob Portman‘s Columbus office. We will tell the Senator and the rest of the political establishment that we need to #savethe600! Hundreds of thousands of Ohioans are out of work from the crushing combination of a global pandemic and a collapsing economy that was already rigged to benefit the richest of the rich.
“Cutting off the $600 boost to unemployment benefits would be both cruel and bad economics.” Economic Policy Institute
