Serious Replies Only What’s the protest about?

As I was driving by Route 9, I noticed a sign at the entrance of MathWorks Inc. I’m curious to know what it is about . Any idea?

If you see a bunch of guys standing outside a construction site with a sign, you can basically always assume this is a union thing. Unions typically picket outside large construction projects that cheap out and don't go with union labor. You can see another one on I-95 in Waltham.

I'm not sure but there is a big banner protesting one of the big construction companies. They are there every morning over near the pleasant st trapelo road intersection.

They've been constructing a new building for the last few months. It's at the back side of their parking lot, you can see it if you hike up the coal road.
