New York, NY – Members of the city’s unionized Building Trades, along with long-suffering nonunion construction workers, returned to the Terminal Warehouse redevelopment project at 261 11th Avenue in West Chelsea on Feb. 24, to press the fight against worker exploitation across New York City’s building industry. This time, they didn’t shut down 12th Avenue. But State Senator Jessica Ramos, chair of the Committee on Labor, did call out union pension funds involved in exploitative, nonunion development projects as “worker betrayal” — and blasted rich developers in this town for treating Black and Brown workers as “disposable.”
