One out of 16 New Yorkers lives in public housing, with another
estimate stating that #NYCHA houses up to approx 600K New Yorkers or more. And this joke of a Mayor sends in a real estate lobbyist dressed up as a tenant organizer — and they think Nycha Tenants can’t tell the difference? #ceaweaver #elliottchelsea #fultonhouses #nychatenants
“I think the intended reaction the bosses thought we would have was one of fear and intimidation. But, honestly, our members are coming out even stronger—they are refusing to be bullied.” https://t.co/xAggNv8kjt @nynurses@1199SEIU@CentralLaborNYC@FDNYchic@stucknation
The horrifying acts of this admin’s militarized immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago and cities nationwide are not about safety. They’re about power, and they’re putting innocent working people in danger.
These harmful, violent federal actions must end.
“Justice Lynch’s ruling reinforces that workers have the right to pursue those claims collectively, and that state agencies cannot simply walk away from their enforcement responsibilities." @aiwcampaign@NMASSwc@nycdistrict1#NoMore24@youthasnyc https://t.co/dsRgM6nLSA
Adams stated that he vetoed the measures because they would undermine his goal of “lifting up working-class New Yorkers.” @NYCCouncil@NYTWA@FDNYchic@stucknation@CMShekarK

The @NYCCouncil continues to fail municipal retirees and home health care workers--some of the most vulnerable people in the city who we all owe so much. @FDNYchic@stucknation https://t.co/RcKV5yyBOU
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol - who commutes to Seattle from CA using a company-provided private jet - made $96 million for just 4 months of work.
He makes 6,666 times the average $SBUX worker. That's the largest CEO-to-worker pay gap in theS&P 500!
The visuals write themselves.
Conference to discuss further arguments in the NYC Employees PPO case slated for Dec. 19. @stucknation@HandsOffNYCare@NYCCouncil https://t.co/Otq3kLg6pw
"This demolition proposal is just that—a proposal. But somehow, NYCHA, Related, and Essence [Development] have been moving ahead as if it’s a legally binding contract." @FDNYchic@stucknation@midtownsouthnyc#PublicHousing https://t.co/yKQQUc0TX6
NYCHA is arguing that given the long drought in federal & state funding for public housing, the best way to improve conditions is by having a private partner and building more units. “It sounds like a win-win-win,” Judge Cohen said. https://t.co/CedDTFSvXT @midtownsouthnyc
@ZohranKMamdani declared victory promising working class NYers a “bold vision of what we will achieve, rather than a list of excuses for what we are too timid to attempt.” What does that mean for NYC's ongoing labor battles? @FDNYchic@midtownsouthnyc
