The South Central Building Trades Council held an information picket in front of the new Ale Asylum Brew Pub being constructed on Packers and International Lane.  Dave Boetcher and Joel Kapusta were there for IBEW 159.  The Ale Asylum and the general contractor on the job, CSI, have used predominantly nonunion labor to construct the project.  The electrical contractor is Hills Wiring of Baraboo, which is nonunion.  One of the employees of Hills Wiring actually came out to take a picture of the protesters.  We took his picture because it is illegal to use intimidation, such as taking pictures of picketers, to try to stop such job actions.  We expect to be increasing such actions around the Madison area to raise more awareness of businesses that receive taxpayer help (Ale Asylum is on county land with a lease program) should hire contractors that pay decent wages.
