    Magazzu joins boycott of unfinished Lowes By Andrew Johnson
    Freeholder supports workers’ protest against use of nonunion labor

    There are two gates for contractors to enter the South Delsea Drive site. Gate A, for union members, has a half-dozen names, while Gate B lists twice as many as that.

    The crowd that gathered decried what they perceived as Lowe's practice of hiring cheaper out-of-state workers who were entitled to no benefits and would make less money working in their own states.

    "They'll take them to our hospitals," at state taxpayers' expense, if they get hurt, said carpenter Ray Knapp.
