Our Labor dispute with Delta Drywall Inc concerns its failure to provide area standard wages and benefits to all of its workers on all of its projects. Our dispute is not a Union/non-Union issue. The refusal or failure of companies like Delta Drywall Inc. to meet area standards adversely affects the entire construction industry, and the community at large. Substandard wages and benefits exert downward pressure on area standards. They deter and discourage well-qualified and productive workers from entering or remaining in the construction industry. We believe the community often ends up paying the health care tab for employees and their families, as well as other social ills directly related to substandard wages. The long-term result is an overall decline in construction worker's skill levels resulting in a reduction in the quality of the project.
We also believe that owners, developers, general contractors and others who continue to use and/or allow Delta Drywall to be used on projects, despite knowing about its past and current practices, aid and abet the deterioration described above.
As long as Delta Drywall continues to pay substandard wages to any of its carpenter-craft workers we will exercise our legal rights to conduct a full-scale public awareness campaign wherever we may lawfully do so, including any projects on which Delta Drywall is employed. This may include the display of large banners, distribution of handbills and lawful demonstrations at jobsites or related businesses.
It is our hope that the information provided will help you select the most qualified and responsible contractor for your projects. We are providing this information to you in ten parts. These document a few examples of many who have been cheated by fraud, unpaid taxes, bankruptcy, eviction, unpaid wages, falsification of records, and/or careless jobsite safety. Some have resulted in legal judgments.
Again we do not want you to become embroiled in our labor dispute. This may include highly visible banner displays, hand-billing, job site picketing, public demonstrations along with possible consumer actions. That is why, as a mater of courtesy, we are providing you with the information contained on this website. We hope that we can work together to protect and maintain the standards of our industry. In this way all projects will be built right, built safe, and built for a fair wage.
If you have any questions or need further information regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact us at (877) 274-3831.
