Richard Jones+FollowUnion workers take a stand in ChampaignUnion electricians braved single-digit wind chills to protest outside the new 16-story high-rise on Green St., calling out PC Treehouse for hiring a contractor that pays less than local union standards. With snacks, a fire pit, and the iconic inflatable rat, these workers say it’s about protecting hard-earned wages and benefits for everyone in Champaign-Urbana. Their flyers stress they’re not asking anyone to boycott, but want the community to know how using low-wage contractors can chip away at area standards. How do you feel about out-of-town companies impacting local pay? #Safety #ChampaignUrbana #UnionStrong10Share
