Employees for the online retailer Wayfair say they plan a walkout from company headquarters Wednesday in protest of the company selling furniture to migrant detention facilities.According to a woman identifying herself as an employee of the company, Wayfair employees learned last week that an order for about 0,000 worth of bedroom furniture was placed by BCFS, which operates migrant facilities for the Department of Health and Human Services. BCFS is set to open a new facility in Carrizo Springs, Texas, which will accommodate about 1,600 unaccompanied minors.More than 500 employees sent a letter Friday to senior management, asking the company to no longer do business with BCFS. They also asked Wayfair to establish a code of ethics that "empowers Wayfair and its employees to act in accordance with our core values." CNN has seen a copy of the email sent by employees to Wayfair senior management."The United States government and its contractors are responsible for the detention and mistreatment of hundreds of thousands of migrants seeking asylum in our country — we want that to end," the employees said in the letter. "We also want to be sure that Wayfair has no part in enabling, supporting, or profiting from this practice."Wayfair management responded in a letter to employees, also obtained by CNN, saying it still plans to do business with BCFS."As a retailer, it is standard practice to fulfill orders for all customers and we believe it is our business to sell to any customer who is acting within the laws of the countries within which we operate," the Wayfair's leadership team said in the letter. "This does not indicate support for the opinions or actions of the groups or individuals who purchase from us."Wayfair has not yet responded to CNN's request for comment.Wayfair employees announced on Twitter their plan to stage a walkout Wednesday afternoon in response to the company letter. The Wayfair employee who spoke to CNN said the walkout is "not meant as a censure on Wayfair," but as a way to show workers' continued concern.They are also asking the company to donate all profits made from the sale of the furniture to RAICES, a nonprofit that reunites families at the border. That amount totals ,000, 2254

CHICAGO – According to the USDA, the average head of lettuce travels 1,500 miles from harvest to plate. That transport leaves a heavy carbon footprint as flavors in the produce also begin to degrade. While many have looked to vertical farming as an Eco-friendly alternative, high costs have been a challenge.But inside a warehouse on Chicago’s south side, one entrepreneur hopes to unlock the secret to the future of farming.For the last three years Jake Counne, the founder and CEO of Backyard Fresh Farms, has been pilot testing vertical farming using the principles of manufacturing.“Being able to have the crop come to the farmer instead of the farmer going to the crop,” said Counne. “That translated into huge efficiencies because we can start treating this like a manufacturing process instead of a farming process.”It’s a high-tech approach – implementing artificial intelligence, cameras and robotics that help to yield leafy, organic greens of high quality, while reducing waste and the time it takes to harvest. Some have called it Old McDonald meets Henry Ford. Large pallets of vegetables are run down conveyor belts under LED lights.“The system will be cuing up trays to the harvester based on where the plants are in their life-cycle,” explains Counne.It’s the automation and assembly line he says that makes this vertical farming model unique. Artificial intelligence algorithms and cameras monitor the growth of the crops. Lead research and development scientist Jonathan Weekley explains how the cameras work. “They’re capturing live images, they’re doing live image analysis,” he said. “They’re also collecting energy use data so we can monitor how much energy our lights are using.”“So, what essentially happens is the plant itself is becoming the sensor that controls its own environment,” Counne added. Another factor that makes the process different is scaleability. Right now, Backyard Fresh Farms can grow 100 different varieties of vegetables with an eye on expansion.“There’s really no end to type of varieties we can grow and specifically in the leafy greens,” said Counne. “I mean flavors that explode in your mouth.”And it’s becoming big business. The global vertical farming market valued at .2 billion last year is projected to grow to nearly billion by 2026.Daniel Huebschmann, Corporate Executive Chef at Gibson’s Restaurant Group, says the quality of Backyard’s produce is of an extremely high quality. “We’ve talked about freshness, but the flavors are intense,” he says. “It’s just delivering an unbelievably sweet, tender product.”Counne says he has nine patents pending for the hardware and software system he and his team have developed in the 2,000 square foot space. But, he says the ultimate goal is to have the product make its way to grocery shelves nationwide. “The vision is really to build 100 square foot facilities near the major population centers to be able to provide amazing, delicious greens that were grown sustainably,” he said. If he succeeds where others have failed, his high-tech plan could get him a slice of the billion U.S. produce market. At the same time, he hopes to bring sustainable, fresh vegetables to a table near you. 3212

And in March 2019, the company pulled guns and ammunition from 125 additional stores. Now, Dick's plans to nearly quadruple the number of its stores without guns.Walmart continues to be the world's largest gun retailer. 695

CLEVELAND — Nadine and Robert Proe said facing a 2009 bankruptcy wasn't easy, but now 14 years later, they are still left with an unexpected ,000 demolition bill from the City of Cleveland.Robert Proe showed WEWS the documents proving he signed over his Cleveland home to EMC Mortgage when he filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and said he heard almost nothing about his former home until it was demolished in 2016.Nadine Proe said neighbors were telling them the house was going downhill shortly after they moved out."It was heartbreaking because it was a good house," Robert Proe said. "Apparently it was vandalized, we never got any notice from the police. My neighbor mentioned a fire, never was contacted about a fire by the city."Robert Proe said he was told by a city inspector that he was no longer responsible for the home after the bank unsuccessfully tried to sell the home at sheriff's sale.But then, shortly after the house was taken down, he was shocked when he received the demolition and maintenance bill.He said he was never given any notice that the bank decided to vacate the foreclosure, and never took his name off of the property."If they would have told me in the beginning that I was still responsible for this house, it would have still been beautiful, someone could have bought it," he said. "I thought I no longer owned the home, I was told I couldn't go on the property, while the bank ran it into the ground.""Now I'm faced with this huge bill that wasn't my fault."WEWS attempted to reach EMC Mortgage about this case but all three company phone numbers had been disconnected.Cleveland Housing Court Judge Ron O'Leary told WEWS there are some efforts being made to change state law, making it more difficult for banks to file a foreclosure and then file to vacate that motion when it believes the finances aren't favorable.O'Leary warned homeowners going through bankruptcy to keep a close watch on county property records as the bank continues to sell the home to another owner. "I can (see) where people would look at this and say it's not fair," O'Leary said. "People that do housing policy that are looking at whether or not any changes to the law need to be done."O'Leary said his court is trying to better educate homeowners in foreclosure.Still, former homeowners like the Proes believe changes in state law are needed."Well I'm here to tell you the system is broke, it's not going to be fine," Robert Proe said. "This is ... 14 years later, and I'm still dealing with it. We got to get a grip on this, something has to be done." 2583
