Construction cannot begin until a legal challenge to the wage scale determination is resolved. A restraining order was filed earlier this month in Dubois Circuit Court ([ilink url=”http://www.dcfreep.com/greater-jasper-schools-high-school-gym-construction-hits-legal-snag/” style=”note”]story here[/ilink] ) by the Southwestern Indiana Building and Construction Trades Council against the School Corporation as a result of the vote by the Common Wage Committee to accept lower wages after a motion was made by Felisha Minnick, Director of Member Services with Associated Builders and Contractors; who is also a member of the Committee. The committee voted 3 to 1 to accept those wages after a hearing on wage proposals was presented by both Associated Builders and Contractors and AFL/CIO representative Steve Wilson.
