Judge Rules Dolan Contract Illegally Awarded in Union Labor Case
Judge Richardson in Equity Court ordered a restraining injunction preventing Boston from paying Dolan and barring him from executing an electrical contract at Curtis Hall Jamaica Plain. The award to Dolan was deemed illegal because Wilkinson & Co. was the lower bidder, with union labor concerns cited. The judge urged safeguarding labor and rejected favoritism by city officers, noting a $2 bid gap and possible union influence. The ruling may be appealed within 30 days to the Supreme Judicial Court.
