    Boston Globe / Taunton union warns of a lawsuit Says city can't use prison work crews in time of layoffs

    A union official in Taunton pledged yesterday to sue the city if officials vote to lay off workers and continue using volunteer labor from Bristol County prison chain gangs.

    ''We'll sue them for unfair labor practice,'' said Arthur Lopes, the business manager of Local 1144, which includes the city laborers who maintain the sewer systems, parks, and cemeteries. ''They cannot replace city workers with volunteers."
