IBEW Local 1 not wild about Buffalo Wild Wings

IBEW Local 1 bannered and handbilled Buffalo Wild Wings locations throughout the St. Louis area recently to draw attention to the fact that electrical work at the restaurant chain was performed by Reinhold Electric and Rice Electric, two contractors with Local 57 – a non-AFL-CIO electricians union within the Carpenters’ District Council – who pay up to 30 percent below area standard wages and benefits established by IBEW Local 1. The handbills encouraged customers not to patronize the chain or, if they do, ask for their own 30 percent discount on their meals.
