Gov hired Rezko firm for home renovation - BY DAVE MCKINNEY, CHRIS FUSCO AND NATASHA KORECKI, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
But the idea that union help is nearly impossible for Chicago area home rehabbers to find doesn't pass muster with some contractors.
'To hire a union company, I think it's pretty easy,' said Maurice Forde, owner of a Northbrook home-remodeling firm and past president of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry's Chicagoland chapter.
'I'm a nonunion company. But if someone came to me tomorrow and said, 'I have a real strong inclination that I want all-union carpenters, all-union subcontractors,' I can do it. It's that simple,' Forde said.------------------------------------------- posted 8:26 AM :: reference link ::
