    Workers picket Legends project - By STEVE TIMKO, RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL
    The owner of the company being picketed said it's up to his workers to decide if they want to be in the union or take money that would be paid into union benefits and use it to buy their own insurance and pension plans.

    "Our guys walk away with more money than a union worker," said Dan Warren, owner of Custom Painting and Decorating in Sparks, the target of Friday's protest.
