 Posted: Thursday, 13 December 2007 10:42PM City Council Reaches Convention Center Labor Deal by KYW's Mike Dunn City Council members reached a deal late Thursday which they hoped would settle a dispute that's threatened the expansion of the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Council members agreed to drop language to the deal that encouraged the use of non-union workers for the Convention Center expansion. Language to which the building trade unions objected. Instead, they approved what officials say are strong provisions aimed at increasing the use of minorities and women in that workforce. Convention Center CEO Al Mezzeroba: "It will mean that we will build a union building, and it will also mean substantial inclusion from the minority components of the city." Other parties in the deal, including the unions and the Governor, planned to take a closer look at the language, but Mezzeroba said it will allow the project -- the biggest ever in the state -- to move ahead.
