Shame on @Brkfldproprtl ! #BrookfieldProperties

[nycdcc_marty @NycdccM]

HEY BROOKFIELD The definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect different results. When your seat on the New York Stock Exchange is at risk, and hundreds of Union Carpenters are in front of your building, it might be time to change?? #profitsoverpeople

We’re back and better than ever!

[Tish James @TishJames]

New York was built by unions.

The working class was built by unions.

And I will always be union.

Thank you @CarpentersNyc for your endorsement!

@bfcpartners would rather spend money on equipment to #surveil #workers and #protesters than pay workers a #livingwage !

[WhyTheRat @whytherat]

Shame on @bfcpartners and @gionyc1 for undermining #construction #workers at #475BAYStreet! They’re so terrible they have to hide their tweets!

[RI Painters Union @RIPAINTERSUNION]

If you were robbed at gunpoint your assailant would face felony charges. When a crooked boss robs you of your wages it’s a misdemeanor no matter the amount. Contact @RISpeaker Shekarchi and ask him to move H-7677 to make wage theft a felony!

After lots of hard work, the NYCHA Trust is signed!

The Trust is truly a revolutionary program that will help tenants and union workers across NYC, and I’m so thrilled @CarpentersNyc was part of the broad coalition that got this done

[NYC District Council of Carpenters @CarpentersNyc]

Thank you @GovKathyHochul for creating the @NYCHA Preservation Trust that will invest in our communities’ futures.

[Construction Industry Tax Fraud @StopTaxFraud]

1.Adopt debarment standards.
2.Inquire about past violations, and (a) have them impact an award, (b) require independent 3rd party monitors.
3.Contract requires responsibility for subcontractors.

[Jessica Ramos @jessicaramosqns]

Robert De Niro is a self-professed union man, and is spending $600 million to build in Astoria. Don’t wait until the studio is built to bring in union jobs, bring union quality work into the very foundation, and build a studio Queens can be proud of.

[Laborers Local 79 @local79nyc]

Shame on Robert De Niro!!! Union construction workers rallied with NY Senator @jessicaramos to protest the exploitation of construction workers at Wildflower Studios. We expect a union member like De Niro to build up workers, not take advantage of them.

[Union-Built Matters @UnionBuiltNYC]

Robert De Niro is a SAG-AFTRA member who has been vocal about the benefits of unions. Yet most of the workers building his Astoria, Queens production studio will be non-union. We urge him to reconsider.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

NEW: I just signed legislation unlocking billions of dollars in additional federal funds for @NYCHA developments.

This historic funding will ensure New Yorkers across the city are able to live with the safety and dignity they deserve — because housing is a basic human right.
