Labor unions donate park road work in Illinois
A Springfield based Operating Engineers Local 965 AFL-CIO volunteers heavy equipment to build a 3800 foot road bed and a 200 foot parking area at Lincoln Salt Creek State Park in central Illinois. Parks officials say the free labor would cost about 20000 dollars, speeding development and delaying no tax dollars.
