Fred Romero, whose two brothers were injured in the shooting, came up from Gilroy after getting a phone call at 4 a.m. “saying there had been an incident at the quarry.’’
When they arrived, they learned one of the brothers had been killed and the other was on his way to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.
“Both of my brothers were long-term employees,’’ Romero told NBC 11, asking that his brothers’ names be withheld. “Both of them were union safety leaders.’’
“They were in a safety meeting at 4 a.m. and things escalated out of control. It’s been an ongoing situation, a labor dispute.
Romero told NBC 11 that the dispute was over budget cuts and hours, because there’s been a slowdown in construction.
The brother who was killed had worked at the plant for 30 years, Romero said, and leaves behind a son and daughter and five grandchildren.
