Hardhats face off in West Side rumble - New York Daily News
The seven arrested construction workers - a mix of union and nonunion laborers - were charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration, authorities said.
More than 50 workers from Carpenters Local Union 608, Ironworkers Local Union 580, Laborers Local Union 79, and several other groups had gathered at the W. 48th St. site to protest the hiring of nonunion laborers.
'The owners want cheap labor at the expense of safety,' said Local 79 member Daniel Fernandez, 46, of Staten Island. "We are trained ... and we do the safest work."------------------------------------------- posted 7:59 AM :: reference link ::
