Teamsters Applaud House Ways & Means Vote Approving Pension Reform Plan

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Teamsters commend the work of the House Ways & Means Committee, which today approved broad COVID-19 stimulus legislation that includes a provision granting relief to hundreds of faltering multiemployer pension plans, including many serving Teamster members.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Teamsters commend the work of the House Ways & Means Committee, which today approved broad COVID-19 stimulus legislation that includes a provision granting relief to hundreds of faltering multiemployer pension plans, including many serving Teamster members.

As part of the Butch Lewis Emergency Pension Plan Relief Act of 2021 language folded into the measure, more than 50 Teamster pension plans – including the Central States Pension Fund – will be eligible for support at the outset of the bill’s enactment, with more of the union’s plans becoming eligible in 2022.

«The Teamsters congratulate House Ways & Means Chairman Richard Neal and others on the panel who stood up for hardworking Americans and retirees who only want to receive the benefits they worked hard for by taking less in their weekly paycheck,» Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa said. «We must fulfill this pension promise.»

Under the legislation, money to assist eligible plans would come directly from the U.S. Treasury Department in the form of grants which would not need to be repaid. Plan participants would receive 100 percent of their earned pension benefits.

The entire House of Representatives will take a vote on the pension language as part of the full COVID-19 stimulus package in the days ahead.

As a result of the greed on Wall Street, workers and retirees in multiemployer pension plans are in danger of seeing their retirement benefits cut by more than 65 percent if nothing is done to boost multiemployer pensions. That is unacceptable. When a worker is promised a pension benefit after a lifetime of work that promise must be kept.

Vail Resorts Named One of «America’s Best Large Employers 2021» by Forbes

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — For the fifth consecutive time, Forbes has named Vail Resorts to its «America’s Best Large Employers» list—one 25 Travel & Leisure companies selected from an independent survey of 50,000 employees across various…

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — For the fifth consecutive time, Forbes has named Vail Resorts to its «America’s Best Large Employers» list—one 25 Travel & Leisure companies selected from an independent survey of 50,000 employees across various industries. Being included among the country’s 500 most reputable large employers is a particularly meaningful accolade for Vail Resorts this year, as the company navigates the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 while remaining rooted in its values.

«This has certainly been the most challenging year our company has ever faced, and operating safely and successfully would not have been possible without the unwavering dedication of our incredible employees,» said Lynanne Kunkel, chief human resources officer at Vail Resorts. «The one thing that we are most proud of is our ongoing commitment to what matters most: our core values, which we each hold ourselves accountable to in every decision we make. Through this exceptional year, we have remained rooted in our values—above all else, our commitment to keeping each other and our guests safe.»

Vail Resorts has seven core values, which includes Be Safe (be committed to the safety and wellness of our employees and guests), Be Inclusive (our newest value to welcome everyone to our company, resorts and communities), and Do Good (preserve our natural environments and contribute to the success of local communities).

Be Safe:

Safety has always been at the forefront of Vail Resorts’ mission and amid the COVID-19 pandemic it has become more important than ever. Heading into the season, the company reimagined the resort experience across its family of properties—knowing it takes the compassion, care and personal responsibility of everyone to create a safe mountain experience.

New workplace policies and an ongoing employee campaign, Be Safe Together, are focused on creating a safe environment for employees from the season’s start to finish—in turn, keeping guests and communities safe as well. At the start of the season, all employees received extensive COVID-19 protocol training from local leadership and Health & Safety, and employees undergo daily health screenings.  In addition to face covering and physical distancing requirements, Vail Resorts implemented a reservation system for the 2020/21 season to allow for physical distancing for employee and guest safety.

Be Inclusive:

Last June, Vail Resorts’ CEO sent an email to employees on the systemic racism facing the Black community, acknowledging that «we are part of the problem» and that this issue is not removed from the company and ski industry. Both Vail Resorts and the larger industry have incredibly low representation from people of color and there are clear elements of ski and snowboard culture that are not inviting to newcomers. Vail Resorts is focused on fostering a more inclusive company culture to create an environment where all current and future employees feel welcome.

The company has established a new value—Be Inclusive: Welcome everyone to the company, resorts and communities—include all races, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities and other differences. To support this value, Vail Resorts launched a new leadership development program: Leading Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and recently put out a powerful podcast where BIPOC employees shared their experiences as well as opportunities for (and failures of) the company and sport.

Do Good:

«What makes our resorts so incredible is where they are located and the passionate people who live there,» said Kunkel. «Two of our absolute priorities are the health and wellbeing of our employees and mountain communities. We’re proud that through our corporate social responsibility platform, EpicPromise, we’ve been able provide substantial emergency relief and COVID-19 relief grants for employees in need of support.»

Through Vail Resorts’ EpicPromise Employee Foundation, established in 2016, employees can apply for grants to respond to unpredictable setbacks. During the 2019/20 season, $1.8 million was granted to employees for emergency relief and COVID-19 relief, as well as educational scholarships. Additionally, through EpicPromise, $18.3 million in cash and in-kind contributions was donated to 309 organizations, supporting local youth, critical need and environmental sustainability.

Vail Resorts is also focused on helping ensure mental health care is destigmatized, easily accessible and affordable. As mountain towns contend with the ongoing effects of the pandemic, there has been an increase in mental health challenges amplified by limited access to care. Through the company’s Epic Wellness program, employees, their dependents and household members receive no-cost access to six counseling sessions, preferred providers/therapists and a wide variety of mental health tools. These services are available virtually.

Vail Resorts was also recently named one of «America’s Best Employers for Women» and «America’s Best Employers for Diversity» by Forbes.

Family Files Wrongful Death Suit Against Lancaster Police, City, County In Police Shooting of Ricardo Muñoz

CHICAGO, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Seeking justice for her son and hoping to hold local officials accountable in order to prevent future tragedies, Miguelina Peña filed suit in federal court on Monday, naming the police officer who shot her son, as well as the former police chief, city and county as defendants.

CHICAGO, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Seeking justice for her son and hoping to hold local officials accountable in order to prevent future tragedies, Miguelina Peña filed suit in federal court on Monday, naming the police officer who shot her son, as well as the former police chief, city and county as defendants.

Ms. Peña’s son, Ricardo Muñoz, 27, was fatally shot after his family contacted police for their help during a mental health episode last year. Mr. Muñoz, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in his early 20s, was well-known to the local police department, whom his family had turned to repeatedly for help in similar situations.

On Sept. 13, Mr. Muñoz’s family had again called the crisis intervention hotline when Ricardo became agitated and was experiencing a psychotic episode. Following instructions from the crisis intervention operator, they then called the local non-emergency police number for assistance as well as 911.

Local police dispatched Officer Karson Arnold to the Muñoz family residence. Within minutes of the Officer Arnold’s arrival, Ricardo Muñoz was dead: shot multiple times by the officer in front of his home as his mother, Ms. Peña, watched in horror.

Attorneys Steven Levin, Daisy Ayllon and Julie Murphy from Levin & Perconti in Chicago are representing the Muñoz family, along with attorneys Michael Perna and Ryan Borchik of Perna & Abracht in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

The suit, which comes in the wake of local officials’ decision not to file charges against Officer Arnold in the matter, notes that the city and county had no proper procedures in place to deal with people in mental health crises and that the officer failed to make any attempt to de-escalate the situation or use less-lethal means to bring Mr. Muñoz to safety.

«Ricardo’s death was, at best, the predictable result of ill-advised and clumsy police work—and heart-breakingly preventable.  At worst, it was the direct result of a cynical and callous disregard for the well-being of one of society’s less fortunate sons,» said attorney Michael Perna.

Citing the city’s deficient policies concerning officer supervision and training, attorney Daisy Ayllon  added, «Ultimately, Ricardo’s lawsuit is about mental health reform, about police accountability when dealing with mentally-disturbed individuals who have committed no crime, and about the prevention of similar tragedies as a direct result of untrained and heavy-handed police intervention.»

«Sometimes a community must look beyond itself for justice, and that’s what the federal courts are for. We are looking to shine a light upon the system failures in responding to this call for help,» said attorney Julie Murphy. 

In December, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) introduced two bills calling for reform in how police nationwide respond to people with mental health issues and other disabilities. Casey referenced the Muñoz case, along with two other police shootings of mentally ill men in Pennsylvania, as he announced the legislative initiative. In Philadelphia, days of demonstrations, including some protests that escalated into violence, had followed the October police shooting of Walter Wallace, who, like Muñoz, suffered from mental illness.

«To their astonishing credit, rather than venting anger while in the grip of anguish, Ricardo’s family actively discouraged violence in the immediate aftermath of his killing, which spared the city of Lancaster yet more tragedy,» said attorney Ryan Borchik.

The Muñoz family’s lawsuit seeks damages for Ricardo’s pain and suffering – including the denial of medical attention after he was shot – and his wrongful death as well as the emotional distress inflicted upon his mother as she witnessed his killing and the physical injury she suffered when, following her son’s fatal shooting, she was tackled against a police vehicle.

«Ricardo’s family first looked to a local crisis center for help with his well-documented mental health condition, but instead the police arrived and within a few short minutes had shot and killed their son and brother. Next the family looked to local law enforcement for transparency and accountability, but instead they encountered a most condescending response from the District Attorney and no transparency. Now they look to the federal court for justice,» said Steven Levin.

The lawyers at Levin & Perconti are committed to protecting and vindicating the rights of people who are injured by the negligence of others.

China Scrap Vehicle Recycling Market Report 2021-2025: Passenger Vehicles, Trucks, Trailers, Special Vehicles

DUBLIN, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Research Report on China’s Scrap Vehicle Recycling Industry,…

DUBLIN, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Research Report on China’s Scrap Vehicle Recycling Industry, 2021-2025″ report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

The Chinese government provides that a vehicle should be sent to a qualified enterprise for dismantling and scrapping when it runs for 600,000 kilometers.

And scrap vehicles’ engines, steering gear, transmission, front and rear axles and frame are forbidden to be sold illegally and should be recycled as scrap metal. The vehicle owner can get the residual value of the recycled scrap metal. However, this provision is poorly enforced.

According to the analysis, vehicle consumption becomes increasingly popular in China with the development of the economy and increase in income. China had ranked first in vehicle production and sales volume for twelve consecutive years from 2009 to 2020. And the vehicle reserves keep rising. China’s vehicle reserves reached 254 million at the end of 2019, ranking second in the world. It is estimated that China will surpass the U.S. to have the largest vehicle reserves in the world in 10 years.

As the average vehicle age increases, scrap vehicle recycling has become one of the social concerns. On the assumption that the service life of passenger vehicles is between 8 to 10 years, the number of scrap vehicles had exceeded 7 million by 2020 and will grow at an annual rate of over 10%. However, only 1.95 million scrap vehicles were recycled in 2019.

Many scrap vehicles are still being used or were illegally disposed of. For example, some of them were reassembled or refurbished to be sold as second-hand vehicles.

Owing to the poor industry regulation, legal scrap vehicle disposal has been affected by the illegal one. China’s annual recycling volume accounts for less than 1% of the vehicle reserves, which is much lower than 5%-7% in developed countries. Because of the quota on the number of scrap vehicle recyclers, the numbers of registered scrap vehicle recyclers and recycling outlets were 800 and 3000 respectively at the end of 2020, having a wide gap with the fast-growing number of scrap vehicles.

According to the analysis, in 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, it will have a certain impact on China’s automobile manufacturing industry. In order to promote car sales, the Chinese government has issued a series of measures to encourage scrapping old cars and buying new cars. Therefore, the outbreak of the epidemic has promoted the development of China’s auto scrap industry to a certain extent.

Maine’s Office of Tourism and Office of Outdoor Recreation Launch Responsible Recreation Initiative

AUGUSTA, Maine, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Maine Office of Tourism (MOT), in partnership with the Maine Office of Outdoor Recreation, has launched Look Out for ME, a marketing and educational initiative to support responsible recreation in the Maine outdoors. With input from leaders in the outdoor recreation industry, the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Bureau of Parks & Lands and the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, MOT developed a communications tool that is meant as an asset to be shared with both the public and private sectors to reinforce Maine’s outdoor brand and ensure respect and care for our natural resources.

Look Out for ME is patterned after the work of the Recreate Responsibly Coalition, a national effort to share best practices to protect ourselves and our natural landscapes. The public health crisis caused by COVID-19 has raised the importance of being outdoors for health and wellness benefits. People are seeking refuge and relief in outdoor exploration with 2020 seeing a substantial increase in the number of people spending time in nature, exploring new places and trying activities for the first time. Sales for outdoor gear and equipment saw large increases here in Maine and nationally. In addition, Maine State Parks saw a record number of visitors in 2020.

«Aside from our people, our natural resources are our biggest asset and are an integral part of our economy. DECD, through the Office of Tourism and Office of Outdoor Recreation is committed to working with other state agencies and the private sector to provide our residents and visitors with tools to safely and sustainably enjoy all Maine offers in the outdoors,» said Maine Department of Economic & Community Development Commissioner Heather Johnson.    

The goal of the Look Out for ME initiative is to ensure that visitors and residents alike venture out safely and responsibly, with a great respect for the land and waters. There is a downloadable toolkit with assets including logos, social media posts and printable posters for businesses and organizations to use in their communications and marketing efforts.

The Maine Office of Tourism will complement the initiative with paid digital and print advertising and roll out a summer advertising plan in April.

«As more and more people engage in outdoor activities, there is a need to ensure information is available on how to safely participate and become stewards of our natural resources. The more positive the experience, the greater the likelihood is for return visits,» said Maine Office of Tourism Director Steve Lyons.

There is no indication the trend for outdoor recreating will end any time soon. A study done within the past year reported that 82% of people recreating for the first time during the pandemic say they plan to continue to do so. That’s good news for Maine where outdoor recreation makes up 4.2% of Maine’s economy, which more than double the national average.

Roughly 94% of Maine’s forest land is privately owned, and more than half of that land area is open to the public. Maine and the people who recreate here are fortunate for the generosity of landowners who open up their land for hiking, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and more. To preserve these opportunities for generations to come, respect for the landowners and our natural resources is vital. The Look Out for ME initiative serves as a reminder of that.

«In Maine, we are fortunate to have a wealth of natural areas, a strong outdoor brand, and several private businesses that sustain and grow a thriving outdoor economy. The tools available through the Look Out for ME initiative will help the public and private sectors have a unified message of responsibility and sustainability, ultimately helping more people safely enjoy the outdoors and protecting the outdoor assets we have,» said Maine Outdoor Brands Executive Director, Jenny Kordick.

The Look Out for ME information and toolkit can be found at www.visitmaine.com/look-out-for-me.
