Savannah River Site union workers protest out-of-state hiring plan AP Wire
AIKEN, S.C. - Unionized workers protested plans by a New York contractor to hire out-of-state workers to build a facility to hold high-level nuclear waste.
About 60 people picketed at the site Thursday. Union leaders say the U.S. Energy Department is disregarding the local economy because much of the more than $40 million that will go into the project won't stay in the local economy.
Tom Jenkins, business representative for the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America in Augusta, said Wednesday that workers here have supported the Savannah River Site for 50 years and its time for that support to be returned.------------------------------------------- posted 6:24 AM :: reference link ::
