‘That’s our job’: Union workers claim they were left out of Portsmouth water plant project
October 13, 2024 // Cincinnati-based Dugan and Meyers won the contract and work began last August. A short distance away,Laborers Local 83 of Portsmouth and the International Association of Iron Workers from Ashland, Kentucky are holding an informational picket. "Our problem right now is with the city," Randy McGuire of the Ohio Laborers District Council said. "First of all, this is city tax dollars that we pay. The city manager says he just wants his water treatment plant built. Then why is he using an out-of-area contractor? Why not use local people who that pay the taxes?"
