Eating Their Own: 600 IBEW Members Picket Carpenters’ Union Hall

A large protest over union recognition attracted about 600 IBEW workers outside of a union hall on Hampton Ave. in south St. Louis.

Nationwide, unemployment reached 9.8% last week and in the construction industry the unemployment rate is nearly 19%. This is causing union bosses to think ‘outside the box’ on how to get work for their unemployed members, even if it includes stepping on another union.

In April, the Carpenters’ union in St. Louis did what, in the union building trades, is the unthinkable, they set up their own electrical union to compete with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).

The IBEW in turn launched a counter-offensive. On Tuesday evening, the IBEW hit the Carpenters’ Union hall with 600 picketers to protest the encroachment.

Could this happen in New Jersey? There is no way to know, but stay tuned.



Hows That For Solidarity.
