Cities, builder in labor tiff By Caroline Louise Cole, Boston Globe
Rotondo said he was also concerned that the workers Roseland had hired had been coached to tell anyone who inquired that they were being paid ''$20 with benefits.' He noted that every one he talked to on a recent visit to the site was from another country, notably Brazil and Mexico.
''I find it hard to understand how they could tell me what they were making and yet they could not tell me what their job was in English,' Rotondo said.
Richard Pedi, the business agent for the carpenters' union, told the councilors the company is ''talking to us' about hiring unionized workers and that he is still hopeful more local workers will be hired.------------------------------------------- posted 5:15 AM :: reference link ::
