LITIGATION
The Village Manager and Village Attorney brought the Village Board
up to date regarding the informational strike at the Oakton Street Fire
Station construction site. The Village Manager explained that the Village
had awarded the construction contract in a legal manner and the contractor
said employees were being paid the prevailing wage in the State of Illinois.
The Village Attorney stated that work has stopped at the site due to the
informational strike being performed by the Bricklayers Union. The
Bricklayers are opposing non-union masonry workers hired by the general
contractor, McMillan Construction.
The Village Attorney explained that the Village Board had three
options for resolving the issue:
1. Expend approximately $20,000 to develop a "Reserve Gate" for the
union to picket, with no guarantee of success;
2. Agree to pay additional costs under the contract for hiring union
workers (est. $50,000); or
3. File litigation should the job be delayed.
Upon discussion, the consensus of the Village Board was to authorize
the Village Manager and Village Attorney to negotiate with McMillan
Construction for the payment of additional funds to hire union workers in an
amount not to exceed $50,000 and to have McMillan Construction pay any
excess amount.
The meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
