Minority concerns swirl around Brennan nomination for labor secretary
In New York City, union leaders face criticism that hard hat unions under Peter J. Brennan have not opened ranks to minorities. Estimates show minority membership around two percent in Brennan's 250,000 member Building and Construction Trades Council. Critics cite a 1965 federal study and the ongoing New York City Plan training program controversy as evidence of slow progress and calls for changes or replacement with broader inclusion goals.
