Union Is Hiring Non-Union Picketers to Picket Non-Union Job-site...

The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters has hired non-union member to protest the work going on in a Washington DC building site

Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters is seeking paid demonstrators to march and chant in its current picket line outside the McPherson Building, an office complex here where the council says work is being done with nonunion labor.

 ...as a member of the above said union, this is the first I"ve heard of any protest going on in DC.  But then, the Mid-Atlantic Council is a pretty lame union.  The shop steward at the last shop I worked at was appointed by the Production Manager of the company and not elected by the workers of the shop, per union rules...and the Hall Business Agent permitted this man to continue as shop steward, FOR YEARS.
