    Carpenters Hammer Home a Warning - by Allan Appel, New Haven Independent, CT
    In materials submitted to the HANH commissioners, Conable (pictured) said, “At least eight different subcontractors have been shut down by the state on Konver sites in the past year alone for failing to provide workers with workers’ compensation coverage.”

    The union’s material also contains copies of news reports that Conable said “describe a series of millions of dollars worth of accidents and injuries on Konover Construction sites in the past ten years.”
