The Mid-Atlantic Region of Carpenters (MARC) is notorious [3] for hiring non-union workers to walk their union picket lines. These paid non-union picketers are usually given minimum wage and no benefits.
In an act of pure hypocrisy MARC protests are targeted at construction companies they are claim are not paying a “living wage.”
The union has over 150 pickets around DC and Baltimore. Yesterday the Competitive Enterprise Institute sent a camera to document [4] one of these pickets.
