Labor leaders and union members from various Philadelphia based building and construction trades unions have been participating in an ongoing protest with general contractor, Post Goldtex GP, LLC. for wages and standards. The purpose of the protest is to protect the wages and benefits of the highly skilled men and women of the union construction industry throughout Philadelphia and vicinity. To date,  Post Goldtex has allegedly hired non-union workers in the form of independent contractors in an attempt to circumvent union standards.

This situation is still in doubt and, as per one high ranking union official,  make no mistake about this — if not resolved, the outcome of this very serious situation could negatively impact the FUTURE of the entire union construction industry throughout the Philadelphia region.
