Oswego, NY – A Syracuse Common Council debate over labor agreements could delay security upgrades at Hancock Airport.
The Common Council approved a security upgrade to the airport last March. Now, the Council is considering adding a project labor agreement, or PLA.
The agreement would spell out terms of work, and could require the use of union workers.
Lance Denno is a Councilor-at-Large for the city of Syracuse. He said if the Council decides it wants to use a PLA, it could delay the project even further because there would have to be a study to determine if any money would be saved.
"There is no guarantee that if we do a PLA study, that the study will find that we're going to save any funds in the project," said Denno.
Denno said the decision to use a PLA should have been made a year ago when the Council approved the security upgrade.
According to Denno, they should just move ahead with the project.
