    Protest leads to police escort for construction workers - By ANGELICA MARTINEZ , San Diego Union Tribune
    Police escorted about 50 construction workers into the old Robinson's-May building at the Fashion Valley mall early Friday while hundreds of union construction employees jeered and stood in protest.

    Officers were called to the building, which is being refurbished into a Bloomingdale's, at about 7 a.m. when non-union workers tried to enter and were confronted by protesters, said Mike Morgan, of San Diego-based Morgan Development, a metal-framing company hired for the project.
