The Oregon AFL-CIO is asking state and county officials to require a notoriously anti-union ??  company to sign a "good corporate citizen" pledge

The company avoids employing workers from large cities or those with union backgrounds.
 

The Wall Street Journal reported that the companies worker death rate is the highest in the steel industry -- more than double the average at 23.4 per 100,000 workers. Since 1980, 11 employees have died as a result of accidents. Five more people died in accidents building company plants, in which the company acted as the general contractor.
 
The company has been fined several-hundred-thousand-dollars since 1989 for violating safety and pollution laws and for exposing workers to lead levels 41 times the legal limit in North Carolina.

A company mill in Arkansas was slapped with the fifth-largest fine in that state's history -- $185,000 

WHAT UNION WOULD BRAG THAT USING THIS COMPANIES PRODUCT

Is great because lesser skilled labor can easily install it as well

Labor costs are minimized

 Lower labor costs than traditional methods

AND 

A 7 STORY 132 ROOM HOTEL WAS BUILT 

BY ONLY 11 WORKERS!!

Another special training class was

conducted at the Arlington Center, where

16 members of Local 429 attended the first

ECOSPAN training in Texas. ECOSPAN is an

engineered composite building system using

prefabricated wall panels with metal studs,

bar joists, and corrugated metal decking. The

components are not unique, but the way they

are assembled in the composite system is.

This assembly results in a strong, lightweight

system that is designed for speed and quality.

Except for the concrete placement, all of the

work of building the structure is performed

by carpenters.

Charles Wright, an engineer with Odom

Construction Co. conducted the classroom

portion of the training. He explained how the

composite system works, and stressed the

importance of assembling the components

correctly. The students watched an

ECOSPAN training video.

COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE JERRY CARRERO,

an interior systems specialist, spent several weeks
conducting on-the-job training for Odom Construction
Co. in Frisco, TX. He taught the Ecospan System,
which is currently only being used by Odom
Construction. Once proper installation techniques are
learned and implemented
on the jobsite, they greatly
increase productivity. The
7-story, 132-room HYATT
House was constructed by
11 workers.
