Drainage upgrade at former White City Park in Herrin
Herrin workers for Superior Construction install two new tiles on 17th Street to improve drainage of a ditch from Cherry Street to 18th Street. A 90 degree bend was altered to 45 degrees. A $750,000 HUD grant funds the work, and the old park site was bought for $65,000, then sold in August to Ralph Korte Construction Co. for the same price. 48 elderly housing units are planned on the site.

Overtime standoff at Herrin Norge faces sixth day

Union leaders say the proposal was voted down and that negotiations must occur before a new vote, with a signup system for overtime expected to replace crossovers. The wage package includes modest raises and benefit enhancements, while workers seek guarantees of first rights to overtime and protections against crossovers.
