Union criticizes wages of non-union workers
A group of local union members criticizing wages paid to non-union workers on the Marvin Hall renovation will not affect the project, Ken Pecis, vice president of projects' general contractor, said.
Flyers passed out by Concerned Citizens for Fair Wages in front of Marvin Hall say that the non-union wages paid by the Topeka based R.D. Anderson Construction Co. were undermining standards for certain carpenters and labor as well as the entire economy of the area.
The flyers charge that if low wages continue the "depression of area standards could work towards lowering your living standards as
Russell Ward, business manager for the Carpenters' Union Local No. 2279, said the group was trying to make the public aware of the situation and had no intention of hiding the site at the present time.
He explained that all of the subcontractors on the site were being paid local union wages, $11 an hour.
but that the workers for the Anderson company were being paid only $4 to $5 an hour.
The dispute is over a state law that says contractors must pay prevailing wage rates in local communities. The rates are determined by surveying local contractors.
Ward said the state did not enforce the law and allowed construction companies such as R.D. Anderson to pay standard wages.
Don Bruner, employment standards administrator of the Kansas Department of Human Resources, admitted that there was no agency designated for the law's enforcement.
But, he said that if a contractor was not paying prevailing wages on a state-funded construction project, he would make a complaint to his agency.
Pecis, who is the project manager of the Marvin renovation, said his company had been to court twice the law and had won both times.

Clarence L. Dillingham Jr., former KU assistant instructor of social welfare, was sentenced Friday in Douglas County District Court to three to 10 years in prison on charges of selling drugs.
King said that Dillingham's association with KU gave him "a tremendous opportunity to act as a role model" for young people.
"If I sent you out on probation, it would send all the wrong signals."
Why Pay More? Plan Early and Save
District Judge Ralph King denied the request and said Dillingham had a deep, serous and continuing involvement in the dealer selling cocaine in this county."
Dillingham pleaded guilty last month to two counts of selling cocaine and one count of selling marijuana to a Kansas Department of Investigation undercover agent.
Dillingham and his attorney, Wesley Norwode, pleaded for probation after
After sentencing, King told Dillingham to report to the Kansas Reception and Diagnostic Center in Oklahoma State Institute he would be sent to.
King said the sentence was neither the most nor the least time he could have given Dillingham.
Investigators for the KBI said Dillingham sold an agent two ounces of cocaine and one and three-quarter pounds of marijuana on three occasions. Dillingham was arrested on charges while selling marijuana to the agent.
Dillingham was also acting director of KU's affirmative action program.
He accompanied Norman Forer, associate professor of social welfare, to Iran in December 1979 in an effort to mediate the hostage crisis.
He and Forer are plaintiffs in a libel suit against KU, which is pending in Douglas County District Court.
