The two groups had been negotiating on a new contracrt for nearlythree months. The carpenters contract expiredAprio 30. No new negotiations are The two sides had reached a tentativew agreement earlierthis However, the BIA, which represents residential buildersx in Philadelphia, got stuck on the shop stewardse issue. In a Sam Sherman, president of the BIA, “Giving shop stewards unfettered control inside our projects is simply unacceptable. Shop steward access would certainly be the first step towardfa ‘slippery slope’ of lost control, as far as our membershilp is concerned.” Ed Coryell Sr.
, business manager of the Philadelphiw Carpenters Union, couldn’t be reached for immediate The BIA and carpenter’e union had worked through several key issuess and negotiated a three-year contract that called for a wage increases that would rise from the current base of $58.69 per hour.
