    Collapse of Bedford library roof delays $3 million expansion job By LARRY P. VELLEQUETTE
    The construction site has been picketed in recent weeks by members of the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters, who were protesting J.L. Judge’s use of nonunion subcontractors on the taxpayer-funded expansion.

    Charlie Jackson, business agent for the carpenter’s union, said his members played no role in tearing down the trusses.

    Union members, many of whom live in Bedford Township, had been angry at the use of nonunion labor for the expansion.
