Michigan Carpenters’ Union Constructing a Fake Dispute

Michigan Carpenters’ Union Constructing a Fake Dispute [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters is no longer playing by these rules.

Since last summer, the union has been organizing demonstrations against an employer that MRCC members do not work for — supposedly on behalf of construction workers that the union does not represent — and using demonstrators who are not employees of the company being targeted.
Indeed, the demonstrators are frequently not MRCC members either, nor even construction workers at all.

Welcome to “bannering,” a new method being deployed by Big Labor bosses who wish to continue exerting their influence over a marketplace where employers, customers and workers have turned sharply against using union labor."
