Union workers picket downtown By BRENDAN McGARRY
'It's not a union thing or a non-union thing,' said Tomas Graveley of the Empire State Regional Council of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. 'It's to protect all carpenters to make sure they get area standards established by the council.'
Standing next to an oversized inflatable gray rat facing Broadway traffic, Graveley accused the company of paying its employees far below the area prevailing wage rate of $30 per hour for carpenters. He said the company misclassifies rates for carpentry and labor work.
Suburban Couple Charged With Defrauding Carpenters Union WBBM 780
A suburban couple were indicted Friday on charges of defrauding the Chicago and Northeast Illinois District Council of Carpenters out of more than $500,000 in benefit payments for union members.
Richard Zerth, 60, and Barbara Zerth, 56, both of Palos Park, were indicted late Friday with two counts each of mail fraud and making false statements. The Zerths owned Roof Right Roofing and Insulation, at 14045 S. Cleveland in Posen, which employed roofing shinglers, siders and insulators, and agreed to be bound by collective bargaining agreements with the union, according to the indictment.------------------------------------------- posted 8:06 AM :: reference link ::
