    Picketers protest against Wexford’s labor practices By Nathan Bomey, Saline Reporter, MI
    A labor dispute between a developer and the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters has led to several weeks of picketing at local sites, including Saline.

    Workers favoring unionized labor have been picketing outside Wexford Homes’ main office in Saline during morning hous the last few weeks. They also have picketed other local Wexford sites, including developments in Scio Township and Manchester.

    James Kreklau Jr., a representative for the MRCC, said his organization is picketing Wexford because of its use of non-union carpenters on projects like the Wexford Commons town homes on Old Creek Drive.
