Accompanied by a giant bejeweled inflatable "fat
cat," squeezing a slightly deflated American construction worker, about
100 union carpenters picketed outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center Friday
morning.
Joined by a few union Teamsters, the carpenters, members of
the Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters, were protesting their ousting
from work at the center.
The two unions did not sign a customer satisfaction
agreement by a May 5 deadline imposed by the center's management, but signed it
a few days later.
General foreman and union steward James Hocker, of Williamstown,
said he had worked at the center for 14 years, the last three or four steadily
and hoped to return to work there soon.
