Direct Message from River Islands and Hale Construction:
Some of you may have seen the Grim Reaper and the protest by the Carpenter’s Union at the intersection of River Islands Parkway and Somerston. These union members are also handing out flyers and holding signs. The following is a Q&A surrounding this situation:
Q. Does River Islands ever work with Union construction?
A. Absolutely. Almost all of the contractors in River Islands are union contractors. Additionally, Hale Construction is a member of the Laborer’s Union.
Q. Is this protest being done by all unions or just the Carpenter’s union?
A. This is just a protest by the Carpenter’s union. All other unions are in contract for work at River Islands.
Q. Is the high school being built with union labor?
A. Yes, River Islands hired Hale Construction to build the high school. And River Islands has a contract with ALL the unions in San Joaquin County for the high school, except for the Carpenter’s Union.
Q. Has the Carpenter’s Union ever protested another project in Lathrop or in the County?
A. Yes, they have set up the Grim Reaper at several locations. Just recently, they protested at the Tesla building in Lathrop. They typically use their out-of-work members to participate in such protests.
Q. Does River Islands and Hale pay "prevailing wages" which are fair and comparable?
A. Absolutely. River Islands and Hale pay the exact same rates as all union contractors for all public work being done at River Islands. There are laws regarding which rates must be paid for public work, and both River Islands and Hale comply with the law.
Q. Has the Carpenter's union ever tried to actually talk with River Islands and Hale?
A. They have talked with Hale who tried to negotiate a deal that could work for their employees. But, they never called River Islands.
Q. Is the Carpenter's union really handing out personal information about the executives at River Islands and Hale?
A. Yes. They are handing out personal cell phone numbers and email addresses. This seems like a violation of privacy and we do not appreciate it.
Q. Do you think the Carpenters will ever show up again and protest River Islands jobs?
A. Yes. We have been told to expect them on a regular basis. And, even though they protest, we will continue to build quality construction and pay fair and equal wages.

COMMUNITY MAP
When you meet someone who tells you they live in Drake’s Bend, do you know where that is? Did you know that Lakeside is not 360 Lakeside? Wouldn’t you love to have a map that shows all of the River Islands neighborhoods, by name?
This is not a street map, but a neighborhood map, to help you navigate around the community as you put down roots.
