The Metropolitan Transportation Authoritys (MTA) Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and local private-sector unions have reached a Project Labor Agreement designed to reduce the LIRRs labor costs on seven major construction projects by nearly 11%, saving the Railroad an estimated $6.5 million over the course of the next five years while protecting local trade union jobs.

The agreement, negotiated between the LIRR and the Buildings and Construction Trades Council of Nassau and Suffolk Counties, is a first for the MTA and the LIRR. In addition to reducing costs, the pact includes a no strike clause on the covered projects, provides opportunities for minorities and women to enter trade union apprentice programs, and includes non-discrimination provisions in union hiring hall and job placement practices.

The first project to benefit from the agreement, which is subject to approval by the MTA board of directors, will be civil and structural work for Phase 1 of the LIRRs proposed construction of a second track on its Main Line between Farmingdale and Ronkonkoma scheduled to get underway early next year. The MTA has budgeted $137.7 million for this first phase in its 2010-2014 Capital Plan.

The Double Track project will improve service and reliability on one of the LIRRs busiest branches, spur economic activity, improve off peak frequency of service and reserve peak commuting opportunities, including connections to MacArthur Airport. The Double Track project environmental assessment and 30-day comment period on the project has been completed and a final decision on the project is expected in the fall.

The seven projects covered by the agreement are expected to create between 400 and 500 private sector construction jobs on Long Island.

The other projects covered by the agreement are: the New Mid-Suffolk Electric Yard ($76.6 million); Hicksville Station Improvements ($55.2 million) and Hicksville North Siding ($37.7 million); Ellison Avenue Bridge Replacement in Mineola ($39.2 million); Great Neck Pocket Track Extension ($25.8 million); Wantagh Station Platform Replacement ($20.7 million); and the Colonial Road Highway Bridge Replacement, also in Great Neck ($9.5 million). The total cost of union labor on those projects was originally estimated at $60.1 million.

Under the agreement, the Railroad guarantees that its contractors will employ only trade workers under the terms of collective agreements in the construction industry on Long Island, a key issue for labor which has seen many local jobs go to out-of-state firms employing non-union workers in recent years.

In undertaking negotiations with the Buildings and Construction Trades Council and its members, the LIRR's goal was to obtain the best work at the lowest possible price, prevent favoritism, fraud and corruption, and avoid delays and labor unrest, according to the agency.

Plans to build four giant poultry sheds capable of housing 176,000 chickens in the Shropshire countryside were today thrown out by a planning inspector.

Christine Thorby dismissed an appeal into whether Shropshire Councils decision last year to reject proposals by farmer John Owen should be overturned by the Government.

Mr Owen had wanted to build four units, which would each have been 100 metres long and 25 metres wide, on Flemmings Field in Acton Pigot, near Shrewsbury.

The inspectors decision follows a public inquiry that took place in May and returned for its final sessions in the summer.

Her report said the poultry sheds would have an immediate negative impact on the local landscape, despite plans to screen the units with planting.

The appeal scheme would form an isolated development of industrial scale and appearance which, at least for the first few years, would be stark and severe, it said. Set amongst open, farmed fields, it would have an immediate negative impact in the landscape, which would only be partially reduced by a planted, artificial landform which itself would be uncharacteristic.

The report did accept the proposed site was the most appropriate location available for the units and said the scheme would have helped the local economy.

A major gain would be in assisting in food production and security, which is important socially and economically to Shropshire and the country as a whole, Ms Thorby said.

But the inspector added such a potential benefit would be outweighed by the harm to the nearby hamlet of Golding and the grade II- listed Golding Hall.

She added: While the public benefit is considerable, it would not outweigh the significant harm to the setting of the heritage assets at Golding which would detract from the environment and the contribution the listed buildings make to society for this and future generations.
