Former employee files class-action complaint against Limestone
GAFFNEY, S.C. (WSPA) – A former employee has filed a class action complaint against Limestone University. The complaint claims that Limestone, the Defendant, had not given its employees an advanced notice of the mass layoffs from the university's closure. The complaint was brought under the 'Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988,' better known as the WARN act. The WARN act is a law that requires most employers to provide a 60-day advanced notice to employees about a company's closing or mass-layoffs. The complaint stated that on April 17, 2025, a group of 478 employees were told that they would be terminated from Limestone on April 30, 2025.

Kings of Leon cancel UK shows including one in Lancs – here's why
Kings of Leon has cancelled all of its upcoming UK and European shows this summer, including one in Lancashire. The American rock band will no longer perform at Lytham Festival on Wednesday, July 2. As a result, the festival will be a day shorter. The band has also cancelled all other upcoming UK and European festival headline shows in June and July of this year. This is after frontman Caleb Followill suffered a serious injury, shattering his heel and requiring emergency surgery that will prevent him from traveling and performing. Lytham Festival said it has not been possible to find a replacement act at the last minute. As a result, the festival will be a day shorter, running from July 3 and July 6. Ticket holders will receive details about a full refund of tickets on July 2. A spokesperson from Kings of Leon said: 'Kings of Leon are updating fans that Caleb Followill has recently sustained a serious injury, shattering his heel and requiring a significant emergency surgery, which will prevent him from traveling and performing. 'The anticipated recovery process is expected to take eight weeks, under strict guidance of expert orthopaedic specialists. The band regrets to report that they will need to cancel all upcoming UK and European festival headline shows in June and July of this year. 'Caleb took to social media today to detail his injury in a heartfelt apology to all the fans.' A spokesperson for Lytham Festival said: 'Due to the cancellation of the Kings of Leon dates in June and July, we are sad to announce that they will no longer be performing at Lytham Festival on Wednesday 2nd July. We wish Caleb a speedy recovery. 'Having explored all possibilities for a replacement act, it has not been possible at this late stage and therefore Lytham Festival 2025 will now run for four days from July 3 to July 6. 'Ticket holders will receive an email from their point of purchase with information regarding a full refund of tickets purchased for July 2 (including upgrades, transport and car parking). All five-day passes will now automatically become a four-day pass and the difference in price automatically refunded. "This will all be explained in an email from your ticket agent. Please allow up to five working days for the email to arrive, there is no need to contact the ticket agency further at this stage. 'We are looking forward to welcoming you to Lytham Festival 2025 and thank you for your continued support.'

Myrtle Beach leaders OK 2 new developments to keep Pelicans long-term
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Myrtle Beach City Council on Tuesday approved two new Pelicans' developments as the city works quickly to find a solution to keep the Minor League Baseball team on the Grand Strand long-term. City leaders approved first reading of an ordinance to make Myrtle Beach the sole owner of Pelicans Ballpark, while Horry County still gives the city $6 million for the stadium's needed renovations. The stadium, which is in need of $20 million in improvements to come into compliance with Major League Baseball standards, is 70% owned by the city and 30% by the county. The ordinance would make Myrtle Beach the sole owner of the stadium, but Horry County would still contribute $6 million — or 30% — of the renovations. Pelicans fans, city & county leaders talk unclear future for baseball team 'The county has agreed to contribute the sum of $6,000,000 to the city,' the ordinance reads. 'This contribution is contingent upon the city accepting the conveyance by the county to the city of all of the county's right, title and interest in and to the property.' City leaders also approved first reading of an ordinance with a new 30-year lease agreement between Myrtle Beach and the Pelicans. The lease payment would be $750,000 for the first 10 years, $850,000 for the next 10 years, and $950,000 for the final 10 years. The team's future on the Grand Strand fell in limbo after Horry County leaders approved a different lease agreement than the city previously approved earlier this month. The city expressed disappointment in the county afterward. 'Although the lease was approved, it is not the same agreement passed by Myrtle Beach City Council,' the city said last week in a news release. 'Unlike the city's version, Horry County's lease includes additional concessions unrelated to baseball. Those concessions were added in the last few weeks and relate to an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) and airport funding. Throughout the process, the city has engaged in good-faith discussions with county leaders and council members, as the stadium has been owned by the city of Myrtle Beach (70%) and Horry County (30%) since 1998.' A second and final reading of Tuesday's ordinances will take place at a special-called meeting open to the public at 9 a.m. on June 3. Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune says the Pelicans need to resolve their 30% financial deficit in the stadium, now that the county has backed out, by next Tuesday.
