Youngstown workers bill of rights event

YOUNGSTOWN

The Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber will have a “Youngstown Part-Time Workers Bill of Rights: What it Means for Your Business” event from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sept. 12 at Cassese’s MVR, 410 N. Walnut St.

Last November, Youngs-town voters approved a charter amendment giving part-time workers special rights regarding scheduling and benefits. This applies to every business that employs part-time workers in Youngstown city limits. In December, the Ohio General Assembly voted to pass House Bill 463 which pre-empts the charter amendment. However, Franklin County Common Pleas Court overturned the provision in HB 463 that applied to part-time workers, so the charter amendment is enforceable.

To discuss what this means for Youngstown businesses is Joe Rosato, director of government affairs for the Ohio Restaurant Association.

The event is free to attend. Register at regionalchamber.com/events.

The Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber’s Mahoning Valley Safety Council will have a seminar on “Violence in the Workplace” from 11:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 13 at The Maronite Center, 1555 S. Meridian Road.

New Middletown Police Chief Vince D’Egidio will share ways to protect yourself and your employees on the job, how to develop a zero-tolerance policy and how to reduce your chances of a violent incident.

The cost to attend this event is $25 for members and $35 for nonmembers.
