Construction at Inn Picketed

Pickets from a statewide trade union were at the Colgate Inn today, protesting the use of what they say is a non-union subcontractor on the large scale remodeling.

The Inn is in the midst of a $7.7 million facelift and expansion.

The Empire State Regional Council of Carpenters picketed at the job site claiming the general contractor -- Hayner Hoyt -- hired Lemoyne Interiors, which they say uses non-union labor and does not pay union standard wages for the area.

Hayner Hoyt and Lemoyne Interiors are both Syracuse-based companies. Neither could be reached for comment; neither could the union.
