    Laborer's union protests USA Remediation By Dusty Smith
    Armed with protest signs, a bullhorn and a 15-foot inflatable rat, a regional laborers union protested contractor USA Remediation of Warrenton as that company conducted work on Fauquier Hospital.

    A small group of representatives for the Laborers Mid-Atlantic Regional Organizing Coalition said the protest was in no way directed at the hospital, but rather intended to bring their concerns about USA Remediation to the hospital's attention.

    '(USA Remediation is) involved in a criminal case right now,' said Erin Hutson, a research analyst for the coalition. 'We're just concerned about the safety of the workers.'
