Don Brown, business manager of Bricklayers Local 1 has issued a statement to CNR regarding his union's stalemated negotiations with the Mason Contractors Association (MCA).

In an email to CNR Publisher Tom Finan, Brown wrote: "We’ve decided it’s time to answer what we feel is a massive amount of misinformation (the contractors have) been putting out. I’m sorry we have to do this, but we have no other option. They wanted to make this a public issue, so be it."
