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 thecity.nyc/2024/01/30/def…
Big month for workers -NYTWA Union won a $328M wage theft settlement from Uber & Lyft -32BJ won a $2.7M fair workweek settlement from 6 companies -Comptroller sued a real estate developer for $40M in 421a wage violations -Boston rideshare drivers fought for the right to unionize

As a construction trades union representing over 100,000 workers across the United States, including across the Atlanta metro region, we are saddened to see rapid escalation of force towards protestors of the “Cop City” construction project.
love seeing my siblings in the labor movement standing with @defendATLforest 🙌🏽 thank you @GoIUPAT & @Jimmy_iupat iupat.org/news/atlanta-p…
An electrician died last week at 175 W 87th St, a building with a history of tenant issues. This is the 3rd construction fatality already this year. @StephonPJohnson @TakerootNYC @UWSPatch @GusSaltonstall
@JessicaRamos @GovKathyHochul At the Joy Construction site in the Bronx where a worker died, workers are being paid near minimum wage to do work supplied with state finance. We need to do better by our workers on these jobs! Sign Carlos' Law!

Eli Weiss is the principal at Joy Construction, the company at the site where this worker died. amny.com/new-york/bronx…
Yet another construction worker death in New York! How many more will die before @GovKathyHochul signs #carloslaw amny.com/new-york/bronx…
Why do Banking Institutions like @WellsFargo and @BankofAmerica choose to finance developers and contractors who trade the health and lives of their workers to enable themselves to make more profit on the margins? The Bronx workers deserve better! No to Eli Weiss and Joy!
Two different workers died on two different construction sites today. @GovKathyHochul, sign Carlos’s Law.
This also happened today. I am beyond words. One fatal accident in construction is detestable. Two on the same day need a clear response from all of us. abc7ny.com/brooklyn-const…
I am fucking sick to call for these sort of vigils. The building trades is sick of seeing another one of their own die at the hands of unscrupulous contractors #HowManyMore #NotOneMore

@laborbear @graham_rayman What the fuck? How is this even possible?
what the actual fuck.
@graham_rayman Sadly most construction worker deaths go unreported. There were 17 in NYC in 2023
@laborbear @graham_rayman Amazon got in trouble for failing to report worker deaths in their warehouses. It sounds like there isn’t as much oversight with the construction industry.
