Union Tactics in the Oil Patch?

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Vorys

The Charleston Daily Mail is reporting that unions are prepared to wage a multi-front battle against those in the oil patch to make sure its members are the ones getting the jobs:  "Union leaders are prepared to wage a multi-front battle against major natural gas-related projects that do not employ local workers. *** The West Virginia Affiliated Construction Trades Foundation is already airing TV ads targeting a $500 million gas processing plant Dominion is building in the Northern Panhandle. *** But unions are unlikely to stop at advertising campaigns. ACT might start to challenge environmental and export permits, among other things, a top union official said this week."
