    Union workers gather to picket at Friends Home construction site By BEN SCHNEIDER, Today's Sunbeam, NJ
    Tony Clemente, one of the protesters from the Union Carpenters Local 542, said Alessio Azzari Inc. is the non-union firm undertaking the Friends Home carpentry project.

    The project is part of a major expansion of the facilities at the Friends Home, a long-established nursing home in Woodstown.

    John Jackson, council representative for the New Jersey Regional Council of Carpenters, said the union's goal was to increase the jobs available to the carpenters of Local 542, the vast majority of whom live in Salem County.

    'We don't want our guys to travel to Tennessee or Texas to find some work,' he said.
