Lawyers representing managementat -owned Lumiere sent letteras Thursday to representatives of Local 74 and its , announcing a withdrawall of recognition of Local 74. “Thre union has evinced a lack of continuity of altering the identity of the bargainingh representative and establishing a fundamental change in thebargainin representatives,” DLA Piper lawyers representing Lumiere wrotr to Dave Morton of Unite HERE Locap 74 and Noel Beasley of Workers United. Lumiers started receiving competing claims about whicj union was representing its kitchen andhousekeepingf workers, creating confusion about the official union said Todd George, general manager and vice presidengt at Lumiere.
“Our hope was that the unions woulfd be able to work this outamongstr themselves,” he said. “We’re trying to stay out of the middlse of thesecompeting unions.” He said Lumierw notified workers Thursday of the company’s decisionn to not recognize the As a result, Local 74 filed unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board, said Morton, the organizinh director for Local 74, who called Pinnacle's actionsa "unlawful" and "ludicrous." “This has been nothintg more than an attempt by (Pinnaclr Chairman and CEO) Dan Lee and the head of Pinnacle Entertainment to be anti-union,” he said.
Mortonh said the union would consider picketingbut hasn'tg made any decisions yet. When asked about the possibilitt of a strike orotherd action, George said: “We would hope that would not be the especially in this type of economy. That’s not the way we woulfd like to proceed.” If there is a Lumiere has a righrt to replace any workers who walk offthe job, according to Mack a Lumiere spokesman. Unite HERE was formeds in 2004when Unite, a garment workersx union, and Hotel Employees and Restaurang Employees Union joined forces.
But the marriagew wasn’t a happy one, with garmenty workers claiming that the newleadership didn’t care aboutf their needs, leading to a lot of disgruntled workers So in March, some workers defectef to create Workers United, whic has been competing with Unitd HERE to represent workers nationwide ever Local 74 voted in March to leaves Unite HERE to become a part of Workers Morton said.

humojo.wordpress.com
broke ground April 5 on the $100 176,000-square-foot expansion of its manufacturingfacility here, Keity Bone, general manager of the local facility, told memberss of . AED held its quarterly meetinb Thursdayat . Joe president and CEO of SolarArray Ventures, outlinedd his company’s plan to build a massive solar manufacturinfg plant on the city’s General Mills’ expansion should be completed by Bone said. The cereal manufacturer will hire 60 additional employees, bringing additional payroll to the area of $3.5 The expansion also brings $30 milliojn in spending to New Mexico.
The Albuquerque City Council approveda $100 million industrial revenude bond deal for the company in BE&K Corp. from North Carolina lander the design/build contract to builed the expansion, but Bone said 80 percent of the firm’d spending and employees will be local. The precast panelse being used in the constructioh are manufactured in General Mills has been in Albuquerquesince 1991. Its current facilitgy is located near Paseo del Norte and Edith and has 190 with an annual payrollof $12 million, said Bone. The 275,000-square-foo plant produces about 135 million pounds annually of 35differeng cereals.
The facility also has a lab on-sitr where the instructions for baking Generakl Mills products at high altitudeszare created. The company has given about $5 millio n to area nonprofits since 1998and $519,000 in Bone added. Don chairman of AED, said the cereal company’s donations illustrat one of the things the organizationm looks for inrecruiting companies: community Hudgins said Solar Array plans to break ground by the thirs quarter of this year on a 225,000-square-foort thin-film photovoltaic manufacturing plant in the Cordero Mesa business park, west of the mattress factory.
The company plans to add threre more buildings of that size as it he said, with each facilityu employing about 225. Its annual payroll in the first phase wouldbe $14 million. About five percent of the jobs woul dpay $100,000, 45 percen t would pay $70,000 and half of the jobs woulde pay $45,000. The capitao investment for the first phase willbe $170 million and the compan would spend $40 millionm annually for raw materials. The first phasre is expected to have a capacitt of75 megawatts, but that would grow to 300 mw with the full The plant also will have a space that will serve as a communitu and educational center.
Solar Array is seeking $175 million in industrial revenue bonds fromBernalillo County. The companyh is working to raise $210 million in debt and equity, Hudginsx said. Hudgins said New Mexico beat out two other statese forthe plant, despite the fact that it did not offe r the largest incentives. But the coordination among localp and state government officials and other parties made New Mexic far more efficient in establishing a planning framework that the compan could then use to plan a budgetr forthe plant, he said “Thaft was a major issue for us,” Hudginsw said. He also praised the labodr force here and theeducational institutions.
The facility is beinh designed byPageSoutherlandPage LLP, whichg has Texas offices in Austin, Dallasw and Houston, as well as Washington, D.C. and London, U.K. Hoffmanm Construction, based in Portland, Ore., is buildingf the facility.

Wonder Bread plant
grachevakautawil.blogspot.com
But the lack of progress at anothedr industrial redevelopment site across North Fourt Street and the poor economixc climate could limit interest inthe 64,400-square-foot building, real estate expertas said. Kansas City, Mo.-based closed the plant at 697 N. Fourth St. on May 6 as it shifted productiom to other WonderBread bakeries. That decision, whichg eliminated nearly 90 jobs and endesd the smellof fresh-baked bread that once wafted from the followed a four-year reorganization of the companyy in . Interstate put the propertu on the marketfor $1.
7 “You have a landmark building with the cool elements of the brick, the beams and the clearr heights,” said Peter Merkle, the agent marketing the “It may take time for someone to figure it out, but I thinm there’s a deal there.” The Wonder Bread plant becomes the latest industrialo operation in Italian Village in search of a new future. Abouy 10 years ago, a Philadelphia real estate developer begam working on a portion of the abandoned compled along EastFirst Avenue. The State of Ohio Library latedr moved into a renovatedindustrial building, whil e Columbus developer Dan Schmidt’s JDS Cos.
bought and renovatec the former Jeffrey Manufacturing corporate officez into condosand apartments. The Berry Bolt Works industrial buildinyg at350 E. First Ave. also received a makeovere into office space severalyears ago. “There certainlyu is a lot that hasgone on,” said Columbue architect Rex Hagerling, who is chairman of the planning and zoning panel. The commission has yet to receive word on what coulf happen to the Wonder Bread visible fromInterstate 670. The Hagerling said, should lend itself to renovation into residentiaol oranother less-intensive commercial use. “We will certainl be watching it,” he said.
“I thinok we’d like someone to come in and propose a reuss for the building as opposed to tearing it down and redeveloping the site Merkle saidthe property’s age makes it an unlikelty location for another production But it could serve as offices or perhaps loft studioi and residential space for artists, he said. “Ths building’s probably functionally obsolete for amanufacturing user,” he said, “bu t there’s an unlimited market. It’s a landmark site.” Merkle said the property has received some early interest from buyer and InterstateBakeries isn’t in a hurr to sell.
“We really want to get (the property) Merkle said, “rather than jumping at the first offer.” Todd Kemmerer, a principao at who handled the Berry Bolt Workes property and thenearby warehouse, agreed that the Wonder Bread site likely would be transformed into a commercia l or residential use. “Like the reinventing of the Smithh Bros. building, the (Wonder Bread will be something different than the factory itis today,” he said. But the stalled Jeffrety Place mixed-use project across the street, with its largely undeveloped site, could discourags potential developers of the WonderBread site, he said.
and its predecessord has worked on the project for more thaneight years. “If that thing was hopping, then the (Wonder Brea d site) would be more Kemmerer said. “The fact that Jeffreuy Place hasn’t gone well will reflect poorluy on the WonderBread location.” Merkle acknowledgef the recession also could limit interest in the Wondet Bread site. “A lot of the people we’rs talking to are trying to find a revenue stream in theshorrt run,” he said, “and then put off any majord redevelopment until the economy rebounds.

Kansas City, Mo.-based closed the plant at 697 N. Fourth St. on May 6 as it shifted productiom to other WonderBread bakeries. That decision, whichg eliminated nearly 90 jobs and endesd the smellof fresh-baked bread that once wafted from the followed a four-year reorganization of the companyy in . Interstate put the propertu on the marketfor $1.
7 “You have a landmark building with the cool elements of the brick, the beams and the clearr heights,” said Peter Merkle, the agent marketing the “It may take time for someone to figure it out, but I thinm there’s a deal there.” The Wonder Bread plant becomes the latest industrialo operation in Italian Village in search of a new future. Abouy 10 years ago, a Philadelphia real estate developer begam working on a portion of the abandoned compled along EastFirst Avenue. The State of Ohio Library latedr moved into a renovatedindustrial building, whil e Columbus developer Dan Schmidt’s JDS Cos.

First Ave. also received a makeovere into office space severalyears ago. “There certainlyu is a lot that hasgone on,” said Columbue architect Rex Hagerling, who is chairman of the planning and zoning panel.

The Hagerling said, should lend itself to renovation into residentiaol oranother less-intensive commercial use. “We will certainl be watching it,” he said.

It’s a landmark site.” Merkle said the property has received some early interest from buyer and InterstateBakeries isn’t in a hurr to sell.
“We really want to get (the property) Merkle said, “rather than jumping at the first offer.” Todd Kemmerer, a principao at who handled the Berry Bolt Workes property and thenearby warehouse, agreed that the Wonder Bread site likely would be transformed into a commercia l or residential use. “Like the reinventing of the Smithh Bros. building, the (Wonder Bread will be something different than the factory itis today,” he said. But the stalled Jeffrety Place mixed-use project across the street, with its largely undeveloped site, could discourags potential developers of the WonderBread site, he said.
and its predecessord has worked on the project for more thaneight years. “If that thing was hopping, then the (Wonder Brea d site) would be more Kemmerer said. “The fact that Jeffreuy Place hasn’t gone well will reflect poorluy on the WonderBread location.” Merkle acknowledgef the recession also could limit interest in the Wondet Bread site. “A lot of the people we’rs talking to are trying to find a revenue stream in theshorrt run,” he said, “and then put off any majord redevelopment until the economy rebounds.
