Tuesday, 19 February 2013 11:43 Published in Local News
St. Louis city officials plan to open the Cold Weather Overflow shelter tonight.

The shelter provides a place for homeless men, women, and children to get protection from the cold when other shelters are full. There are 75 beds in the shelter, but the city has a policy of not turning any in need away.

This will be the sixth time the shelter is open this winter season.

The union for Boeing's engineers and technical workers is counting ballots on the company's latest contract offer. It has recommended that members reject the offer because it gives new members a 401(k) retirement plan instead of a pension.

The union also wants authority to call a strike if talks break down.
