Union Demands Top Grades for Plumbing Projects
A San Antonio council hearing on an emergency 1942 plumbing code heard a Plumbers union demand that only top-grade plumbing be used for veterans housing at Trinity University and Camp Cushing. McCann Construction of Fort Worth warned the city may halt Camp Cushing if higher-grade plumbing costs are not covered, while Trinity University may proceed with $1,920 extra for better piping. The council waived code requirements temporarily at the union’s urging, but union and contractors expect a faceoff over who pays for the enhanced plumbing.
