City rescinds trades council pact as labor talks reopen
Cedar Rapids City Council votes to drop the existing project labor agreement with the trades council and pursue a new pact for hotel and ramp projects. The dispute follows Governor Branstad's order banning such agreements on state funded projects and the withholding of a $15 million I JOBS grant for the Convention Complex. A separate suit challenges two state projects while Cedar Rapids remains outside the suit.
