Wal-Mart proposal adds 700 parking spaces BY MICHAEL AMSEL, Asbury Park Press, NJ
Some union workers fear the Supercenter will hurt local supermarkets, including Super Foodtown in Toms River and ShopRite in Manchester.
But Seymour Kahn, a business representative for Carpenters Union Local 2018, said he has spoken with many of the 425 carpenters in his union and they are solidly behind the proposal.
'A lot of these same carpenters helped build Wal-Marts in Brick and Manahawkin,' Kahn said. 'These are good-paying construction jobs, solid work. Not only are you going to be employing a lot of people at this Supercenter, you are also going to get a lot of ratables for the township.'------------------------------------------- posted 12:30 PM :: reference link ::
