🫵 Get #InTheKnow on @LIUNA Cares! Listen to our own @bernardlocal79: "I joined the #Union... Somebody sacrificed something before I even got here, so that I could benefit. "That means, at least to me, that I need to sacrifice something for those who haven’t gotten here yet."

Loud and proud in Tribeca to say shame on Robert Deniro for allowing Leeding Builders Group to exploit non-union construction workers on his Wildflower Studios project. You cant just talk the talk about supporting unions, you have to walk the walk!

"Excluded No More will level the playing field for responsible contractors who support their workers, regardless of immigration status, by paying into workers’ compensation, unemployment and payroll taxes,” - Business Manager Mike Prohaska @FEWCoalition spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…

UPDATE: After our showing of solidarity yesterday, the #Alba3 have been referred to a new jobsite by their employer. An Unfair Labor Practice charge will still be pursued with the NLRB and we believe these workers should be back at their original jobsite.

Immigrants help make up the heart and soul of NYC! Community Organizer @PhareinGriffith proudly stood up for immigrants at @NICE4Workers' #DayWithoutImmigrants rally last week, with @CMShahanaHanif, @local79nyc's @bernardlocal79, and community members! #Citizenship4All
