Iron Workers walk out in contract standoff By Michael Kuchta, Union Advocate
Charles E. Witt, business manager for Iron Workers Local 512, said employers represented by Associated General Contactors of Minnesota were refusing to negotiate until the union commits to pension concessions. Witt said members continue to work on projects covered by project labor agreements, but are 'withholding services' on all other projects.
The job action falls short of a full strike only in that Iron Workers are not staffing picket lines that could keep other Building Trades unions off the job as well. Witt said Local 512 would set up pickets only if contractors try to bring in other workers to do the union's work.------------------------------------------- posted 6:37 AM :: reference link ::
