Car dealer targeted by union - By HEIDI TOTH, Daily Herald, Utah
The problem, according to the bright pink flier, is that Legacy contracted with Salt-Lake based Cameron Construction to build the new facility. Kenco Drywall, one of Cameron's subcontractors, does not meet area labor standards for carpenters, including full family health benefits and a pension.
'Legacy Ford is the purchaser of the construction,' O'Shea said. 'I realize that some people don't understand this, but at the end of the day people who purchase the construction have to be responsible as well.'
Providing health insurance was in the best interests of all the community so taxpayers don't have to pick up health care costs, O'Shea said. Companies should be asking for the 'lowest responsible bid, not the lowest bid.'------------------------------------------- posted 5:10 AM :: reference link ::
