It's shaping up to be a bad week for employees of commercial airlines. In exchange for a federal bailout earlier in the pandemic, carriers had agreed not to cut the ranks of pilots, flight attendants, ground crews and management until Oct. 1. Airlines are expected to begin announcing more than 35,000 job cuts Thursday.
When I asked Janet Bednarek, a professor at the University of Dayton who studies urban and aviation history, what the past few months have been like for the airlines, she didn't even pause: “Armageddon.”
Not to change the topic here:
Why more workers are getting paid time off on Election Day - Marketplace
Anne Tennyson, a resident from Reno, Nevada, has volunteered to work the early voting polls in October, where she'll greet and herd the crowds. And she won't have to worry about missing work because her employer, Patagonia, is giving her paid time off to do it.
“Being able to support democracy, while being supported by my company is beyond what anybody has ever offered to me before," Tennyson said.
Because there is no federal law giving people a day off to vote, getting the opportunity to participate in the electoral process has fallen into the hands of employers. Generally, large companies with white-collar workers are the ones that tend to give their employees the day off, said Allison Penelope Anoll, a political science professor at Vanderbilt University.
Nashville marketplace wins excellence in development award - Construction Specifier
The Urban Land Institute (ULI) selected the L&L Market development in West Nashville, Tennessee, for a 2020 ULI Nashville Excellence in Development Award. The project was among two other real estate development projects from around Nashville selected as winners in the small, private sector category.
L&L Market is a 5110-m 2 (55,000-sf) retail, restaurant, and office marketplace created out of a 100-year-old property that most recently housed a restaurant supply warehouse. Owner and developer Tamay Ozari commissioned Southeast Venture Design to redesign the building. Dowdle Construction Group was the general contractor. The project's vision was to create for Nashville an atmosphere akin to New York's Chelsea Market or Napa's Oxbow Market.
Non-alcoholic beverage marketplace launches | Brews News
Two Sydney businessmen have launched a non-alcoholic marketplace, Craftzero, as the brewing industry hones in on health and wellness trends.
In recent months a number of breweries including Modus Operandi with the launch of Nort and Stone & Wood's low alcohol option East Point have got on board with the trend, and even the mainstream brewery CUB launched a no-alcohol version of their Great Northern brand.
The new e-commerce site, dubbed the "mindful drinking marketplace" in a media statement from the company, was launched by Marc Naggar and Sherif Goubran, founders of Sydney wine wholesaler Wine & Co.

Being furloughed can take a mental toll on workers - Marketplace
Back in April, Monica Harris was furloughed from her digital marketing job in the Atlanta area. At first, she was optimistic.
“Maybe this is the time I need to just be like doing other stuff, working on some passion projects, just stuff like that,” she said.
Then her furlough was extended, and her extra unemployment benefits ran out. Besides fretting over her job, she spent the summer worrying, “I hope I'm not the next Breonna Taylor; I hope my fiancé is not the next George Floyd,” she said.
What Trump's taxes tell us about his finances and U.S. tax code - Marketplace
According to a New York Times investigation published last night, President Donald Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and zero income tax in 10 of the 15 previous years. The two decades of tax returns obtained by the Times reveal a lot about the president’s finances: He has hundreds of millions of dollars in debts coming due soon, and has made a habit of gargantuan losses and write-offs. The returns also reveal a lot about the U.S. tax code.
U.S. unemployment rate falls to 7.9%, hiring slows again - Marketplace
America's employers added 661,000 jobs in September, the third straight month of slower hiring and evidence from the final jobs report before the presidential election that the economic recovery has weakened.
With September's hiring gain, the economy has recovered only slightly more than half the 22 million jobs that were wiped out by the viral pandemic. The roughly 10 million jobs that remain lost exceed the number that the nation shed during the entire 2008-2009 Great Recession.
Amazon Resolves Battle In Pennsylvania Over Shoddy Marketplace Merchandise 10/01/2020
Amazon has settled a high-stakes battle over its liability for defective merchandise that left a woman blind in one eye, the company's lawyer told a federal judge.
News of the settlement was revealed in papers that were quietly filed late last week. Terms were not disclosed.
The deal brings an end to a closely watched fight over Amazon's legal responsibility for products sold through its online marketplace.
The battle dated to 2016, when Pennsylvania resident Heather Oberdorf alleged she was severely injured by a faulty product she purchased via Amazon's marketplace from the vendor The Furry Gang.
