Iron-Workers Protest at Niagara Site

Protesters Raise Concerns, Call For Local Jobs At Niagara Bottling Plant. Though one of the frequently used arguments for offering bottling companies water and tax breaks is "JOBS", the Niagara plant's steel frame was being erected by out of state iron-workers.  Louisiana workers, staying in local hotels and earning less than the area standard wage and benefits, were at work at the site. Meanwhile, union workers from Bloomfield and the Hartford area stood by and protested.
