A deck collapse, above, injured one worker Jan. 19 at a job site in Aurora where four, four-story apartment buildings are being constructed near the Westfield Fox Valley mall on Station Boulevard, off New York Street. Courtesy of Cement Masons Local 502.
Problems with various non-signatory contractors at the Aurora site have been on-going for years. In October 2013, Scabby the Rat was protesting the same site, left, along with members from Westmont Laborers’ Local 288, against Burrink Commercial Services, Inc. of South Holland, Ill., for not meeting area standards.
