    Default Union Protest 15th & Oxford - Assault

    I just heard that there is a similar union protest happening at the site of a 36-unit apartment building under construction at 15th & Oxford near Temple University.
    The exact address is 1516-1518 N. 15th St. They have been blocking traffic on both 15th St. and Sydenham St., calling L&I on a daily basis, the usual.
    I also heard that an employee of a company unrelated to the construction was punched in the face, when he complained that the guys were blocking traffic.
    (His office is nearby.) A police report was made, but I have no further information.

    I believe the company involved in this project is North Broad Living. They are on the web at Home | North Broad Living

    So no word on the killing spree? Somebody told me about it, I'm just reporting it.

    Don't know anything about a killing spree, but the inflatable rat is also out at a student housing project at 18th and Berks.

    I have some additional information. The union causing problems is the electricians. Johnny doc has become personally involved. The developer is using many union contractors and was able to reach agreements with all other unions including the carpenters. The electricians' bid was outrageously high. While the protests are a hassle, the project is on track for completion. I am told the cost of the hassle is far less than the cost of using Johnny doc's people.

    Good report, Johnny Doc is the biggest dickbag.
