> As part of the agreement, workers who were on payroll when Chipotle closed its store at the Marketplace in Augusta will each receive between $5,800 and $21,000 depending on the number of hours they worked and their pay rate, among other factors. The company must also offer “preferential rehiring” to all Augusta employees at its other Maine locations for one year, according to the Maine AFL-CIO.

There really needs to be harsher repercussions. Big box stores all but shout through a megaphone during their orientations that they will do the same thing if the get a whiff of unionization.

The punishment needs to be severe enough that it can't be filed away as an operating cost.

oh i do, i barely mow every other week and I dont start until June. Cause I hate mowing and we do have some clover and dandelions and like I said I have a nice amount of wildflowers, butterflies and humming birds love it. I see a few bees but not much.

This I am interested in. I am trying to reduce my mowing as much as possible. Currently just have to mow a small backyard area and a larger but still not that big leach field area. I have been putting wildflower mixes down in areas that I have no need to walk in (some of the wildflowers get thick and TALL). If switching from very unmaintained grass (I just mow, nothing else) what is involved to go to clover? Will the clover overtake most of the existing grass or will have still have really tall grass coming up. Reason is both areas require some foot traffic and it is not fun walking through tall grass.

The owner of that quarry had parents who were heavily addicted to illicit drugs. He never had a good Christmas so he puts that Christmas tree up and leaves it there year round to remind all the children of Maine, who may share a similar upbringing, that there is hope on the horizon.
