A concern

I worked in the building trades most of my life before retiring. I am a proud union member.

I hold my head in shame as I learn about Plumbers and Pipe-fitters holding a meeting at the Fortune Bay Casino and Resort in Tower, Minnesota.

Fortune Bay is a non-union operation.

Employees don't have the protection of state and federal labor laws enjoyed by all other workers; robbed of their rights by politicians and casino managements working in cahoots.

This is no place for unions to be holding conventions, conferences or any kind of meetings.

Shame on the plumbers and pipe-fitters.

Shame on the Minnesota Building and Construction Trades Council

A proud tin-knocker. But not so proud I will keep my mouth shut when our unions ignore the injustices other workers are subjected to.
