Two Bent on Return: Ex-Workers Back in Benton Streets
Two laid off Benton street department workers, Tim Pedigo and Tim Lampley, near return after a gentlemen's agreement between the city and Local 533 of the Union of Operating Engineers. The plan assigns Lampley to a vacant meterman post while Pedigo awaits reevaluation, with wages preserved and probation. The settlement ends a Franklin County circuit court suit tied to Illinois Arbitration Service findings that the city violated the contract by laying off workers with more seniority.
