Union high on Jets' stadium plan By Niall Stanage, Irish Echo, NY
An Irish-dominated local union is one of the forces most fervently in support of the stadium. Local 608 is the biggest carpenters' local in the U.S., with about 7,600 members. Although its ethnic makeup has become more diverse in recent years, it retains the strong Irish character that has marked it out throughout its history. Eight of its 10 executive officers bear Irish surnames; its Web site is dominated by three colors: green, white and gold.
The union is in favor of the stadium for one very simple reason -- jobs. The huge project would be likely to employ hundreds of the union's members.------------------------------------------- posted 1:09 PM :: reference link ::
