Contractors Call 20 Percent Wage Cut in Elyria
Elyria officers say contractors notify union workers of a 20 per cent wage cut, with some trades not notified. Plumbers and electricians report cuts from 1.65 to 1.35 an hour, while carpenters face large-scale impact with 212 union carpenters and about 25 contractor-employed carpenters affected. Union leaders claim contracts run to May 1 and protest the timing, noting living costs have not dropped equally, and highlight higher wages elsewhere.
