Construction on $7B CityCenter ramps up - By Cristina Rodriguez, In Business Las Vegas
The Carpenter's Union has about 350 members at the site now, and by the end of the year it expects to have almost 500 workers there pouring concrete and fixing metal studs in place. At the project's peak, the carpenters expect between 2,000 and 3,000 members to be working there.
"We're the first guys on, the last guys off," Furman said. "We'll be putting up the furniture, hanging mirrors — anything with a screwdriver."
The Plasterers and Cement Masons Union Local 797 has about 60 workers at CityCenter now, said business agent Kenny Peterson.
"To have that much work on one job site is going to be wonderful," Peterson said. "At its full capacity, we anticipate having over 300 members from our local on that job site alone."------------------------------------------- posted 7:11 AM :: reference link ::
