Bristol Unemployed Faces Hurdle On New Memorial High School
Local officials say Bristol will barely benefit from the $200,000 Memorial High School project as the unionized contractors hire only union labor. The U S Employment Service may place its own workers if the union fails to assign manpower within 48 hours. Construction superintendent Fred Tondreau, from Providence, will oversee the Andrews School build with Callan Construction handling excavation.
