Carpenters: We're not anti-minority - By DAVE DAVIES, Philadelphia Daily News
As the clamor has grown for more minority participation in the city's construction industry, carpenters union business manager Ed Coryell has stayed out of the fray.
But when two black female carpenters told Mayor Nutter's Commission on Construction Industry Diversity on June 25 that Coryell's union had treated the discrimination, harassment and unemployment they suffered as 'a big joke,' Coryell decided it was time to talk.
In an interview with the Daily News and Inquirer, Coryell insisted that his union's admission policies are color- and gender-blind, and that contractors, not union officials, decide who gets work.------------------------------------------- posted 6:47 AM :: reference link ::
