#ICYMI in the @QueensEagle: @395Hudson & @CarpentersNYC wants to remind NYers about how @JimmyVanBramer is a bad idea for New York & Queens! He chased away Amazon's headquarters which would've been $27.5 billion in tax revenue for NY & the city, & 5,000 NYC construction jobs!
Join us for a memorial mass next Wed, 5/19 at 3:30 at Saint Patrick's Cathedral in NYC to remember our brothers and sisters who passed away while working on jobsites. Space is limited, so you can watch the mass virtually here: https://t.co/z6i1LKTmCC
“Wage theft is an imminent threat to work places across NYC...Our workers deserve to come home at the end of a hard day and to do so with a full paycheck.” Couldn’t have said it better ourselves! TY @JumaaneWilliams! Looking forward to working with you! #TFDoA2021#StopTaxFraud
An important message in the @NYDailyNews #endwagetheft pass #S2766! NY is united on stopping greedy contractors who steal from workers. Contact your elected today: https://t.co/XKDisn8Nxm https://t.co/rKCIoeB4wW
This morning, a dozen members came out to the Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn to volunteer for a pop up food pantry with Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens! Thank you to everyone who came out and made this day a success! The carpenters are on the #RISE!
Corrupt contractors stole his pay, lied about his hours, and backed him into corners no employee should be in. This is what the non-union workforce looks like. This is #wagetheft and #taxfraud. This is ILLEGAL! No one deserves to be victimized by their employer. #TFDOA2021
We are on the #RISE! We caught up with a few members to discover what being a part of #CarpentersRise means to them and how they've been able to make a difference in their community and in our union. Learn more here ->https://t.co/5vEwU3kXHS #OnTheRise#CarpenterEconomics
"All too often, politicians promise to do right by labor, but then forget about us when we need them the most. With Carpenters RISE we are going to change that dynamic once and for all..." — Kevin Elkins, NYCDCC Director of Political Action https://t.co/7e0pKbM0YL @395Hudson
The District Council is so proud to bring aboard new political director Kevin Elkins! Kevin brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge. You can read about Kevin in his interview with Labor Press: https://t.co/PtXPjeJgtM
We look out for ALL carpenters. We push for legislation and candidates that will invest in infrastructure & construction jobs and build carpenter power! Union labor ensures economic stability and justice for every worker. #UnionStrong
The piece also ignores that non-union job sites have lower wages and usually no benefits. Open-shop developers claim they're creating jobs - we don’t just create jobs though, we create careers.
