Work will continue on large construction projects that have separate agreements prohibiting strikes. That said, work has stopped at many small projects, such as a $19-million parking ramp in downtown St. Paul being developed by the St. Paul Port Authority, and a $41-million bus garage for Metro Transit going up at Mississippi and Cayuga streets in St. Paul.

Among the trades involved in the work stoppage include the laborers and cement finishers, who are on strike, and the ironworkers and bricklayers, who are withholdingservices. While other unions typically will not cross a strike line, they may continue to work if a fellow union is withholding services.
