Carpenters Union Donated Labor Rebuilds New Orleans Fire Stations

http://www.laborradio.org/node/11834

By Doug Cunningham

New Orleans firefighters Thursday unveiled rebuilt fire stations throughout the city. They were restored through a massive effort launched by the New York City District Council of Carpenters and the Leary Firefighters Foundation in 2007. Hurricane Katrina destroyed or damaged 22 New Orleans fire stations. International Association of Firefighters President Harold Shaitburger says the federal government never did its part, so 200 union brothers and sisters in the Carpenters union donated 8,000 hours of time to rebuild the fire stations.
