Union protesters back at Merion Golf Club
Pickets from the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America - Metropolitan Regional Council of Philadelphia & Vicinity - resumed picketing at the Merion Golf Club in Ardmore this week. A press release from the union stated that the resumed protest are in response to the United States Golf Association's (USGA) failure to honor the terms of a month-old labor agreement between the Carpenters and the USGA for work at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, PA, site of the 2013 U.S. Open Golf Championship,

The Carpenters Union, along with the Stagehands Union, had been picketing in April.

The press release stated the sides had reached an agreement in mid-April and the two unions had been working the site until this week, when the USGA abruptly informed the Carpenters Union that it had run out of money and the services of its members were no longer required.
