Big Dig jobs are nearing end of road By Diane E. Lewis, Globe
For union workers in the trades, however, the Big Dig's wrap-up will mean fewer jobs at the nation's longest-running federal construction project as well as increased competition with nonunion laborers for work at sites being developed by private companies.
Employment at the Central Artery Tunnel project peaked in July 2000, when an estimated 5,200 workers in the construction trades logged a total of 832,440 hours that month alone, according to Joseph Nigro, secretary treasurer and general agent at the Metropolitan Boston Building Trades, a council of construction unions. By May 2004, the most recent month for which figures are available, the number of workers had dropped to about 1,000 and their hours had dipped to 129,996.------------------------------------------- posted 6:40 AM :: reference link ::
