The Carpenters Union, of which Marshall has been president, is regarded as “sophisticated in their approach to labor relations, acting as an ally of construction contractors – both union and non-union — who follow labor laws. By pressuring the state to crack down on contractors who misclassify workers as sub-contractors, a way to illegally avoid paying workers’ compensation and other costs, the union has helped legitimate contractors to make competitive bids on projects.”
