Condo protest swells By JOHN GALLAGHER, Detroit Free Press
About 100 unionized plumbers, electricians, carpenters, laborers and other tradespeople carrying balloons and signs picketed the Main Street Lofts condominium project at 11 Mile and Main Street. Friday's protest was the biggest on the site since unions began picketing the mostly nonunion job three weeks ago.
'We're bringing a little happiness to a sad situation, having some fun,' said Scott Lowes, business representative for the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters. Referring to the workers who were clearly visible, he added, 'We know for a fact that these guys are getting substandard wages for this area.'------------------------------------------- posted 11:42 AM :: reference link ::
