Tuesday, the construction at the Fleet Center in Boston for the Democratic National Convention was supposed to begin. But the standoff between city unions and Mayor Tom Menino brought the work to a halt. About 40 percent of the city’s union members are still working without a contract, most of them police and firefighters. Menino is willing to go to expedited arbitration, while union officials have insisted the parties involved are not yet at an impasse. The convention begins in less than seven weeks. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=383&ncid=383&e=6&u=/kgtv/20040608/lo_WCVB/2239996
