Speaking Out on Sundt
In mid-February, members of the Carpenters Union came to UC Merced with the intention of drawing attention to Sundt Construction, a company that has been accused of wage theft, worker endangerment, and other irresponsible practices. They’re urging UC Merced to disqualify Sundt as a potential contractor to build the new housing project currently being developed: the Promise Housing Project.
