Construction council: Boycott Wal-Mart pjstar.com
Nearly 300 members of the West Central Illinois Building and Construction Trades Council and other union members rallied outside the current Wal-Mart nearby to protest the presence of non-union, out-of-area contractors who are working on the new store at the intersection of Washington and McClugage roads.
'There's a lot of union people who are unemployed. This gives them a chance to vent their frustrations,' said Mike Everett, council president. 'We're educating the public and sending a message that we're not going to watch people from (outside the area) take local jobs. We're not that stupid.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:46 AM :: reference link ::
