Chick-Fil-A restaurants added to 'We Do Not Patronize' list for using non-union bricklayers, tile se
https://labortribune.com/chick-fil-a-restaurants-added-to-we-do-not-patronize-list-for-using-non-union-bricklayers-tile-setters-and-electricians/Fourteen months ago, when Chick-Fil-A built a new restaurant on Hampton Avenue in South St. Louis, Bricklayers Local 1/Tile Setters Local 18 bannered the project for using out-of-state bricklayers and tile setters who paid below the area standard wages and benefits negotiated by Local 1/Local 18.
Chick-Fil-As management noticed and in discussions with Local 1/Local 18 pledged to give union contractors consideration on future projects. That promise lasted about as long as it takes to order lunch at the drive-thru.
Construction of new Chick-Fil-A restaurants in Bridgeton and Florissant both of which recently opened and St. Peters which is still under construction have all used non-union workers.
They said they would give the union an opportunity, said Mike Fox, president and field representative for Local 1. It wasnt much of an opportunity though.

It seems to be a common approach. We get burned and burned and lied too and then when it comes time. we trust again and then get burned and get burned...
When will we learn.
