Florissant – Ironworkers Local 396 is bannering Poettker Construction at the new Walmart development here in the 3500 block of North Lindbergh Boulevard for using non-union ironworkers, roofers and electricians to get the low bid for the project. Poettker, of Breese, IL, has generally used union subcontractors for its work in Illinois, Local 396 Business Manager Tom McNeil said, but chose to go non-union for its work in Missouri. By contrast, McNeil said, St. Louis-based S.M. Wilson & Co., used union subcontractors on it’s bid for the Walmart Supercenter in Shrewsbury.
Taking the message to Poettker in Florissant are (from left) Local 396 members Kevin Connelly and Tim Foster.
