I had to snap a few shots of the picketing outside 1521 2nd Ave this morning…looks like the Sprinkler Fitters are ON STRIKE!
On Monday the members of the Sprinkler Fitters Union Local 699 presented an offer to raise wages $14 an hour over three years. The union rejected the proposal and will be waiting for a meeting to be called for further negotiations.
According to their website and the Tacoma News Tribune, a full time union member can make up to $100,000 a year and this particular union represents more than 500 workers in seven counties.
