Schoenberg and Local 2341 Business Agent Wendell Harris recently distributed handbills at the Affton and Lemay Imo’s locations to let customers know what the company is doing and urge them to call the company’s corporate office. “They don’t even get bids from our contractors.” “We appreciate Imo’s letting us work on the big jobs because the contractors they hire for the restaurants can’t handle them, but we don’t get to work on any of their restaurant locations,” Schoenberg said. Schoenberg said the Imo’s location at Jefferson Avenue and Cherokee Street recently used a non-union painting contractor at that location as well.
