Union workers rally against use of non-union workers in Reno hotel project - 02/19/07

By Jesse Russell

The use of out-of-state- non union workers on a major million dollar condominium conversion in downtown Reno was protested this weekend. Roughly 300 union members took part in the rally organized by the Allied Trades District Council of northern Nevada. The unions that took part in the rally are concerned that using non-union workers on the $161 million project will encourage the unfair treatment of northern Nevada construction workers by undercutting area standards for wages, benefits and working conditions. The company managing the project alleges that 60 percent of the contracts were awarded to union contractors.
