Union rat makes appearance on Excelsior Ave. By JIM KINNEY, The Saratogian
SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Union plumbers brought out their 12-foot-tall inflatable rat Wednesday to show their dissatisfaction that nonunion plumbers are working on the 146-room Courtyard Marriott hotel on Excelsior Avenue.
'The people in Saratoga Springs will have to deal with the effects of this project, both good and bad,' said Larry S. Bulman, business manager of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 773 in South Glens Falls. 'It's only right that they should benefit from the jobs.'
