Remembering Pat Summerall
Saturday, 04.27.2013, 11:27am

Former CBS NFL television commentator Pat Summerall died earlier this month on April 18th.  Seven and a half years ago I had the privilege of interviewing Pat for an article I was doing on Mickey Mantle. Summerall was a close friend of the Yankee Hall of Famer. In the late ‘50s Pat even shared the same locker stall in the original Yankee Stadium as Mantle where he played place kicker and tight end for the NFL’s New York Giants. The baseball Yankee’s shared the facility with the football Giants from 1956 to 1973.

 

Unions criticise government for abolition of Agricultural Wages Board
Wednesday, 04.17.2013, 05:21pm
The TUC has criticised ministers for refusing to discuss proposals to save the Agricultural Wages Board.Unions have criticised ministers for refusing to discuss proposals to save the Agricultural Wages Board (AWB), during the final debate on the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill last night (16 April.)The AWB for England and Wales brings together employers and unions to set wages and conditions for 150,000 agricultural employees. It was abolished, without a vote after the government guillotined a debate in the House of Commons yesterday.TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said:"This Bill is a direct attack on agricultural workers and has been sped through the House without any proper debate on its likely impact."The government's own figures show that getting rid of the AWB could see wages in the agricultural industry fall by £13 million, with many farm workers and their families strongly relying upon it to stay above the breadline."We are also worried that removing the minimum sick pay entitlements set by the board will mean that farm workers will return from illness before they are properly fit. Agriculture accounts for a quarter of all workplace deaths with 41 people killed last year alone."Julia Long, national officer for agriculture for the Unite union described the AWB as having"been effective in the last 65 years in protecting the incomes of some of the lowest paid workers in the country.""Supermarkets and the growers, who supply them, are behind the Agricultural Wages Board’s abolition proposal as they want to drive down workers’ wages to poverty levels”, she said.[Ekk/4]
