The @ConstructionJustice Act isn’t just about raising wages. It’s about who gets the work. NYCHA residents ee construction all around them but haven’t had access to those careers. This bill changes that! 📲 SHARE THIS VIDEO 📹 & tell your Council Member: 📣 Pass Intro. 910 now!

Still reeling from an amazing NYC #LaborDay Parade! Thousands of #LIUNA laborers marched up 5th Ave along w/ @GPBrentBooker & V.P. @whosescity. Many thanks to Locals 66, 78, 79, 108 + the thousands of trades workers who made this year one for the history books. Power in #UNITY!✊

On Sept. 10th, we’re heading to City Hall with labor and our reentry partners to demand passage. Because good jobs build strong communities. #ConstructionJusticeNYC #LaborersRising #ConstructionJustice

This bill isn't just about jobs. It's about justice. It's about keeping families HERE. Making NYC home for EVERYONE. Construction Justice Act is how we make NYC fair for working people. Raising wages & securing health care + retirement, we can give New Yorkers a chance to thrive.

The time to act is NOW. Pass the #ConstructionJustice bill! Everyday without action means more families struggling to put food on the table, and stay in the city they helped BUILD. 📲 SHARE THIS VIDEO 📹 & tell your Council Member: 📣 Pass Intro. 910 now! 💪

🤬 @LIUNA @GPBrentBooker on the abrupt shutdown of the #RevolutionWind project: "Revolution Wind is 80% complete. Over 2M #UNION work hours. Now, b/c of the gov't stop work order, ppl getting a paycheck last week are on the unemployment line this week." https://t.co/kWEQmHOL3l

🎥 ICYMI: The RISE Reunion assembled 200+ of our best member advocates for a day of collaboration AND camaraderie. Like @LIUNA VP @whosescity said: "Without activism in our #UNION, we have no union. "It's the MEMBERS that give us the power in our union." Together, we #RISE!

Unions built this country and this state and are the reason I am where I am today. I’ll always support unions like the @LiUNAEasternReg.
