Gas: who are the stakeholders?
• “Yiannis Melidis, co-owner of Pegasus Restaurant & Taverna, at 130 S. Halsted St. in Chicago, said fuel surcharges on such services as seafood delivery and garbage pickup have boosted the cost of running his business by 3 to 4 percent. Pegasus is absorbing those costs, but to keep profit margins from shrinking it has been cutting employees' hours. A waiter who had worked 32 to 36 hours a week, for example, now works 28 to 30 hours a week.” – Chicago Tribune, March 7, 2011
