Toledoan buys pizza for workers - Toledo Blade
Construction operator Matt Newton isn’t used to getting free pizza while he’s on the job. Newton, who was working on a gas-line project Wednesday, said he is usually told to get out of the way instead. “I know these guys don’t get a lot things like this and they’re from out of town,” Mr. Wasielewski said. Eight boxes of pizza and water were waiting for the construction workers, who have come from far and wide to work on new gas lines that are being put in by InfraSource, a subcontractor for Columbia Gas of Ohio. Columbia Gas’s $8 million pipeline project will replace more than 42,000 feet of natural gas mainline made of steel pipe with plastic pipe, and has done work on parts of streets north of Kenwood Boulevard, west of Northwood Avenue, east of... The project to replace rusty steel mainlines with plastic started in March and is expected to last nine months. The construction workers, who work roughly 48 hours a week, have rooms at an extended-stay motel until November. I know a lot of people don’t appreciate what you do,” Mr. Wasielewski said to him and his fellow construction workers while they were seated on the neighboring front yard chowing down on cheese and pepperoni pizza. Wasielewski used to work as a truck driver for Maumee Supply, where he discovered the value of a simple slice of pizza. Source: www.toledoblade.com
