    Pipefitter shortage tied to union dispute CBC
    Kiewit Offshore Services, which is building the modules at the Marystown fabrication yard, has been advertising for the tradespeople, saying they are needed immediately.

    Now, Kiewit manager Frank Smith says the company will ante up more cash.
