IBEW Local 1 banners Arnold Steak ’n Shake

Arnold, MO – IBEW Local 1 is bannering the Steak ‘n Shake at 120 Arnold Crossroads Center and asking the public not to patronize the restaurant. The action comes as a result of the project’s general contractor, EL7 Construction, hiring Reinhold Electric, a non-AFL-CIO affiliated Local 57 contractor that pays far below area standard wages and benefits established by Local 1 for electrical remodeling work. Taking the message to the public are (from left) IBEW Local 1’s Rich Niehaus, Business Representative Chuck DeMoulin and Brian Sinamon.   – Labor Tribune photo
