Here’s the Ithaca Minute for June 1st!

A vote conducted Wednesday among baristas at Gimme! Coffee, under the supervision of the National Labor Relations Board, was resoundingly in favor of unionizing, according to the Tompkins County Workers Center. Most of the “full-time, regular part-time and variable-hour employees who were eligible to vote turned out on Wednesday, and decided 94% to 6% in favor of organizing a union.

There’s no parking along Cayuga Street on Friday afternoon for the Ithaca Festival Parade. And Festival organizers say $5 event parking is in effect for the Downtown Ithaca garages this weekend. North Cayuga Street is a tow away zone this Friday from 4-9pm. As always, parking downtown is available in the City-owned parking garages on Seneca Street, Green Street, and Cayuga Street, but as always on a big event weekend, there’s a $5/day “event parking fee” if you’d like to use the garage.

Congressman Tom Reed has scheduled four Town Hall Meetings this weekend to hear from constituents, and two of them are in nearby Trumansburg and Erin. The first is in Trumansburg on Saturday morning, June 3rd.

And there were 76 entries and four finalists, and this week 14850 Dining can tell you who won the Hunger Hero sandwich competition. Collegetown Bagels hosted a tasting event and will be selling the sandwich to benefit the United Way of Tompkins County.
