Labor dispute at One Davis Sq construction site?

[ron_newman]

If you walk up Day Street towards the square, the chain-link gate blocking the left sidewalk bears a sign declaring that it is the "Non-Picketed Gate", and that employees of DFM, Inc. may not use it.

On the Dover Street sidewalk, a similar gate has a sign saying it is the "Picketed Gate" and that it IS for use by DFM, Inc.; all others may go to the Non-Picketed Gate. This morning it looked like someone was indeed setting up a picket line next to the Picketed Gate.

Anyone know what this is all about?

That's really confusing and, frankly, rather creepy.

It's fairly standard around here, for the unions to picket sites where open-shop jobs are underway in hopes of convincing the open-shop employees to join the union. The level of convincing tends to vary by how good or bad the economy is at the time.
