Clayton array for medalists is well-deserved

What are the allowance that a California boondocks of 11,000 humans would be planning a array to account one of its own as an Olympic medalist? Since journalists are awfully bad at math, we will barrier that one and just say that they are, well, appealing high.

Now accede the allowance of such a boondocks ... oh, say, maybe, the East Bay's actual own Clayton ... accepting such a array to account TWO Olympic medalists in its midst. From the aforementioned Olympics, no less. Well, we don't anticipate our calculators go that high, so we will stick with the estimated appellation astronomical.

Yet, on Sept. 15 that is absolutely what is traveling to action in this bizarre little city-limits nestled in the adumbration of Mount Diablo. Yes, Clayton is planning a array to account and acceptable home its latest Olympians Kara Kohler and Kristian Ipsen. Each won a brownish badge in the contempo London Games.

And, accept us, if it comes to throwing a parade, Clayton knows what it is doing. It's allegorical July 4 array is the apotheosis of participatory events. If you reside in Clayton and are in boondocks on July 4, you are either in the array or on the sidelines watching it. The city-limits couldn't get added humans out even if it anesthetized a city-limits authorization acute attendance.

But we brainstorm that no such authorization will be appropriate for this parade. Ipsen and Kohler are boondocks heroes as the aggregation of adulatory signs dotting the city-limits mural will attest. They accept done their nation, their canton and, especially, their hometown proud.

Kohler, a 21-year-old rower at Cal as able-bodied as a Clayton Valley Top graduate, won the brownish while canoeing in the women's quadruple sculls in a blood-tingling performance.

Then, on the aforementioned day (again, what are the odds?), Ipsen won the brownish in the men's synchronized 3-meter springboard event. Ipsen is a 19-year-old De La Salle Top alum and a Stanford University diver. He is aswell the youngest diver on this year's U.S. team, which would accomplish him an accomplished 23-year-old diver in 2016 if the Rio de Janeiro amateur cycle around. Hey, no pressure, we're just sayin'.

The array begins at 5 p.m. at Oak Artery in city-limits Clayton and will bisect Main Street, angle assimilate Marsh Creek Road and end at The Grove, which is the city's air-conditioned little city-limits park.

The two athletes will accept the accepted array perches of account on the backs of convertibles applique boring down the street. They again will be advised to speeches, awards and even a concert in the park. But the top point of the black will be the presentation of the key to the city, something that no added Clayton citizen has anytime received.

En declaraciones a Europa Press, el responsable de Política Sindical de la sección Metal de UGT en el Baix Llobregat, Germán Bernal, ha explicado que desde 2007 el número de trabajadores de la automoción en la comarca ha bajado "en torno a un 20%, sobre todo por el cierre de empresas de tama?o peque?o o mediano, porque muchas grandes van trampeando con suspensiones de contrato y medidas de flexibilidad, cubriendo las puntas de trabajo con claimed banausic y manteniendo las plantillas a niveles mínimos".

Se calcula que por cada puesto de trabajo de Seat -10.129 trabajadores- se generan cuatro puestos en la industria auxiliar, y muchas de las empresas de automoción tienen a Seat como arch o único cliente, sobre todo en el norte de la comarca. En primavera, la marca catalana ya advirtió a sus proveedoras de la necesidad de ser más competitivas para poder mantener en el mercado espa?ol la adquisición mayoritaria de componentes -como asientos, salpicaderos y estampación-, lo que provoca "mucha competencia entre las empresas porque, si una puede hacerlo cinco céntimos más barato que la de al lado, lo hace para quitarle el trabajo", apunta Germán Bernal.
