Bricklayers Local 1 bannering new Chick-Fil-A on Hampton Ave.

South St. Louis – Bricklayers Local 1 is bannering the new Chick-Fil-A location under construction at 3801 Hampton Ave. because Chick-Fil-A’s general contractor, Georgia-based W.H. Bass, is using out-of-state bricklayers from Arkansas who pay below the area standard wages and benefits negotiated by Local 1 on the project. Local 1 posted a banner and an inflatable “Greedy Pig” in front of the project to inform the public. – Labor Tribune photo
