Members of the New York City District Council of Carpenters were ordered back to work after a three-day strike. The strike began when collective bargaining negotiations between the carpenters' union and the contractor trade group Cement League broke down. The strike affected nearly 30 sites citywide.
However, a federal judge ordered the carpenters back to work after ruling the workers were prohibited from striking on all jobs governed by project-labor agreements, which legally prohibit strikes.
Negotiations between the union and the league are ongoing.
