Letter to the editor: All workers deserve a safe job and safe workplace

Workers Memorial Day is held each year on April 28 to mourn workers killed and injured on the job. It is also the day that we rededicate ourselves to the fight to make our workplaces safer. We still have a long way to go. Every year, nearly 6,000 people are killed at work. Fifty thousand workers die annually from occupational diseases and millions more are injured. The push for increased production, an influx of new workers as older, more experienced workers retire, reduced staffing levels, growing use of subcontracting and outsourcing, mandatory overtime and changes in technology and work processes all pose a threat to workers’ safety and health.

Americans are ending 2009 feeling better about the economy than when the year began, buoyed by optimism that job prospects will improve in the first half of 2010. Consumer expectations for the job market reached their highest level in two years, but most people remain downbeat about their current prospects, according to a monthly survey released Tuesday. The survey also showed fewer people plan to buy automobiles and homes in the next six months compared with November.

Letter to the editor: Jamestown should not use sales tax for infrastructure

I would like our city leaders to look at a different method instead of taking sales tax revenue to fund infrastructure repairs. Jamestown and Stutsman County need as much money to support economic development as possible. Taking money away from economic development will put Jamestown at a great disadvantage to draw businesses and people to town.
