An Update On The Construction Of The NEW Gallia Academy HS

[GalliaGrad78]

Just curious. Is the school being built using union labor? If not, why? I know, probably a ? for the school board.

[schenk11]

They have to pay prevailing wage, why wouldn't you use union labor?

[GalliaGrad78]

I may be misstaken, but I think that the esteemed former Gov. Taft saw to the end of prevailing wage in Ohio.

[Orange and Brown]

I don't know if they are using union labor or not, but they still have to pay prevailing wages.

[OZZIEOHIO]

Loking good GAHS. Ill bet the kids up there cant wait.

[Orange and Brown]

I bet the hole community is excited.
I can't wait until NY is done with its complex. My son will get a chance to go to a top notch school.

What are the tall structures in the back?

[Boo-Duh]

Let me guess...the road going up the hill in the background is where they are going to put the football officials dressing room!!! Right!!! LOL!!! Be glad when they get the new facilities..the long run up the hill is hard on us old guys after a game...Just kidding !!! Gallia has always treated us well...

Who cares if they use union workers for the new HS. Just happy GA, SG and RV are all getting new schools.

why use union labor?

go back and read your history books about the days before unions.

unions gave your the 8 hour day, weekends and working conditions above "slave labor"

ask again - why use union labor

Thanks gahs4ever for the update. I am very happy our friends and neighbor's down your way are getting new facilities for your kids. I voted for our new school to be built. It's and investment in the kid's future. Good luck to everyone.

8 hour work day? when did that happen? lol

I put in way more than that. Bottom line is Gallia County is getting 3 new high schools!

Unions are fine unless they pull the crap that I put up with when working for Ohio University. We couldn't even plug in the TV monitors in at the Convo unless someone from the Union came in on a Saturday and was paid overtime to plug the cameras in, watch the game, then pull the plug afterwards. I am sorry but that is to the extreme and was a waste of tax payers money. In the day of the coal mines etc, unions were needed. Today, not so much.

GO REBELS, BOBCATS, REDS, BENGALS, BLUE JACKETS, etc.

PS. If you cant go to college, you go to State (OSU)

Hey 4ever, do you have any pictures of the football stadium

NUFF SAID....................

Just a question, if you put in more than 8 hours a day, do YOU recieve overtime pay for that? If so YOU can thank UNION labor for that. If not sorry about your luck. Also, just ask the taxpayers of the Frontier Local School District, above Marietta about non-union craftsmanship... ARGH!!!!

my uncle is hoping it is a long time before they move the foot ball stadium. his house is up on the hill in the corner with the back porch facing the field. what a view! yes he is a blue devil fan but no one's perfect

[91blue14]

i hope it dont move. besides the parking and the flooding, it`s a nice place. i voted for a new school but it scares me kids driving on 141. some bad wrecks took some lives
