SEATTLE – The Port of Seattle Commission voted today to make Juneteenth a Port-paid holiday for non-represented employees. The adopted proclamation to celebrate and commemorate Juneteenth as a holiday will go into effect on the next June 19, in 2021. “Racial oppression is deeply rooted in our nation’s early beginnings — from the mass exploitation and mistreatment of Native American populations to the enslavement of Black Americans — and acknowledging this checkered past is essential to healing and creating a more equitable future,” said Peter Steinbrueck, Port of Seattle commission president. “Adding this holiday is a step toward acknowledging this history today.” “Juneteenth is a day to reflect upon how we can serve to create a better, more equitable future for all members of our community, one where Black Americans everywhere can realize the freedom and equality first promised over 150 years ago,” said Sam Cho, Port of Seattle commissioner. |
Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
