Union trade workers with various local agencies voiced their displeasure with the Bristol City Council for not taking part in a project labor agreement connected with Bristol City Hall renovations, that they say would have brought jobs to local workers. According to city documents, the council unanimously voted to “notify and instruct the Construction Manager to terminate the Project Labor Agreement between D’Amato & Downes A Joint Venture and the Greater Hartford-New Britain Building and Construction Trades Council and The North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters” at the December 2021 meeting. The mayor said the City Council wants to approve bids for the project at its April meeting and get construction underway in May. City departments will continue to move to new locations in the city throughout the month.
