John Angelos: "We will Make Concession Employees Whole."

[MdSooner]

The articles are from years back.I was just showing how the employees were treated Also when Delaware North took over the concessions ,many employees had to reapply for the same job at lower wages and loss of seniority. Hope John Angelos is really for these workers.

Gotcha. :thumbsup1:

According to this on Deadspin, only the ushers, ticket sellers and security screeners will get compensated. The concession and merchandising employees are controlled by Delaware North and not subject to the missed-game compensation, or cleanup crews.

As it turns out, only stadium workers directly on the team?s payroll will get make-up money. That group includes ushers, ticket sellers, and security screeners. Orioles spokesperson Kristen Hudak declined to provide any stats related to the number of employees that fall in this category, but it?s a fraction of the labor force that was put out by the tumult that consumed Baltimore. All food, booze and merchandise vendors, for example, are technically employed by a contractor, Delaware North, and are therefore not eligible for the recompense offered by the O?s for the disappeared games.

The cleaning crew was also spared the team?s generosity. The janitorial workers are officially employed by Chimes Inc., a Baltimore-based non-profit that describes itself as a place that ?provides training and employment opportunities for people with severe disabilities.? That firm has a contract with the Maryland Stadium Authority, which owns Camden Yards and leases it to Peter Angelos. Chimes spokesman Levi Rabinowitz says that his company will give nine supervisors the money they would have made for the two games that were canceled, and the one empty-stadium game, if they were played under normal circumstances.

But Hicks, and all other members of Chimes? 185-person Camden Yards cleanup crew, are out of luck. (Or at least out of money.) Rabinowitz says they?re hired on a game-by-game, first-come, first-serve basis out of a pool of 300 workers pre-approved by Chimes. ?We call it the ?Ambition System,?? he says.

?They really don?t expect to get paid because they didn?t work,? Rabinowitz says. ?It?s work for pay. They know that.?

Looks like DN did pay their employees.Also looks like they have about 1,000 associates.

Victoria Hong, a spokeswoman the Camden Yards concessionaire Delaware North, said company will pay its employees who were affected by the postponements.

"Delaware North Sportservice wants to publicly thank its loyal local associates who showed great patience during the week of April 27th," the company said in a statement. "Due to the extraordinary circumstances that led to three games being moved from Oriole Park and another being closed to fans, we wanted to show our appreciation and support to our nearly 1,000 game day associates by voluntarily providing each with a monetary payment. We are very proud of our associates and their dedication to servin

John said that would be the case. I am proud of the Angelos family on this.

What? Now that he did come through with his promise - the press is uninterested?

Irresponsible research & poor reporting at it's finest.

Absolutely. I rarely read Deadspin but this popped upon my news feed as O's related so I checked it out. Nowhere there does it mention that Delaware North stepped up and paid their staff, not even in the comments. Respect to them and to the Angelos family for doing right by their employees.

The press annoys me more and more. Between agendas on one side or the other. Just bad reporting and not taking the time to research something. Get it out first and if it is right even better.

Wolf Blitzer asked the head of the Maryland National Guard if they carry weapons. They were in Iraq and Afghanistan. They don't have super squirters.

Also try to take the time to know what the engineer and the conductors do on an Amtrak train. It takes a few minutes to look it up.
