Congrats to Cabricanecos construction workers on winning a workplace safety committee at labor body shop Best Super Clean. Thanks to the construction labor provider law this body shop is now also registered with @helloDCWP as "BSC Services" which brings transparency & disclosures

Did you know that the company doing demolition here, Northeast, has a long history of worker exploitation and was also indicted last year by the @ManhattanDA? @MarkLevineNYC @MBPMarkLevine

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

Big news: A huge vacant office building on 42nd St. is about to be converted to housing.

The former Pfizer HQ., off 2nd Av, will become 1,500 apartments. Largest conversion in NYC history.

We need many, many more of these. (And have to make sure they include affordable units.)

Shame on @RockroseNY for allowing exploitation of construction workers and disrespect of houseless folks

Hey @artifactliving @harlemcollectve why is Alba Services permitted for work at your project 1861 Amsterdam Ave? Alba was indicted by the @ManhattanDA and has a long history of worker exploitation

[Laborers Local 79 @local79nyc]

Local 79 is proud of #Demolicionistas who fought against exploitation while working in the non-union demo industry for Alba Services. These workers were able to apply for the deferred action program of the Biden-Harris Administration #LaborersRising

Laborers @local79nyc worked with #ConstructionJusticeNYC partners @VendorPower to hold a food giveaway outside @Consigli1905 offices in Times Square today. While Consigli’s exploitative business model in NYC contributes to hunger, the labor movement steps up to fight against both

This week marked 1 year since the deferred action for labor enforcement #DALE announcement & now a renewal process. “No worker should fear retaliation for organizing and speaking out against abuse… because of their immigration status” - @LIUNA GP Brent Booker

Wherever violence, fear & hatred thrive, working people cannot.

We call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages & delivery of life-saving supplies to the people of Gaza.

This call for peace is rooted in the pain that SEIU members are feeling, from the Jewish member concerned for her son’s safety in Tel Aviv, to the Muslim member who immigrated to this country from the Middle East to escape war, to SEIU healthcare workers who see themselves in the healthcare workers in Gaza who have been killed trying to save lives.

@MoynihanTrains can y’all install some seating please? How is there a train station with no benches? and do it union please

[laborbear @laborbear]

@ManhattanDA @NICE4Workers But what is not defunct is the non-union general contractor Flintlock that hired this company. Flintlock still gets plenty of jobs in the city and continues to hire bad actors. The Flintlock virgin hotel job was also the site of a worker fatality
