SMART Local 28

#buildingtrades members along with @jessicaramos to ask #RobertDeNiro to be the #union man he is to make sure his OWN STUDIO #wildflowerstudio built by 100% UNION WORKERS.

I’m delighted to have the support of @smartlocal28.  I proudly stand with our union brothers and sisters and will always be a friend to labor and workers across Long Island.

Just like this neighborhood, this campaign is built by workers. Grateful to have LIUNA Local 78 with us as we kicked things off this week. “Senator Jessica Ramos has been a steadfast champion for working men and women, fighting for fair wages, safe job sites, and the dignity every worker deserves,” said Pawel Gruchacz. “Her leadership and commitment to organized labor have made a real difference for our members and their families, and we are proud to stand with her.”

You don’t earn the trust of 40,000 workers with words. You earn it with results. Grateful to have LIUNA in our corner. We’re just getting started.

Today's topping out of #EtihadPark is a testament to the dedication and skill of the union tradespeople who have been entrusted with building New York City's first soccer-specific stadium. #BCTC and our members are proud to support #NYCFC and the creation of union careers.

Today we commemorate the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.

A BIG THANK YOU to @NYSenatorRamos our Labor Chair for stopping by at our table while at the @NYSBCTC #apprenticeship workshop. Always showing up for working people in #NYS

Building and Construction Trades Council President Gary LaBarbera up in Albany today for their Apprenticeship Works event. W/ labor chairs Jessica Ramos and Harry Bronson. Ramos faces a tough primary fight and has lost some big union support, but BCTC is sticking with her

I'm grateful that the thousands of talented craftspeople of @smartlocal28 have joined the growing list of labor unions which have endorsed me in my race for reelection. These partnerships are meaningful to me as we work to make New York a more affordable, union-friendly city.

Being a union member pays off in the construction industry. Every week, every month, every year. Members working full-time in construction earn more compared with full-time nonunion workers.   Source: Median weekly earnings data in construction, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

@QnsBPRichards @DRichardsQNS Thank you for always having labor present

Let's keep it real: Queens was, is and always will be a union borough. That's why we host regular Labor Luncheons like these with union leaders from across the spectrum — because building a stronger city means uplifting working people however we can. The work continues.

Today, NABTU President Sean McGarvey joins Sam Altman, CEO of @OpenAI, at @BlackRock's 2026 Infrastructure Summit to announce a new collaboration to help support and expand training pathways into the skilled construction trades. Today’s AI construction surge demands precision, speed, and expertise, and this is exactly what we do best. NABTU's workforce development pipeline is built for moments like this, and we are ready to deliver. Full statement: nabtu.org/press_releases…

This shows what is possible when innovation is paired with the most highly trained, highly experienced building trades workforce focused on safety, quality, and long‑term reliability that strengthens our nation’s energy security. NABTU looks forward to providing the skilled craft necessary to deliver this project on-time and on-budget. Full statement: nabtu.org/press_releases…

To our sisters who CHOSE our trade and our Union… #Thankyou for raising the bar!! #WomenInConstructionWeek

A great day was had yesterday at the Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Mineola. Special thanks to our local elected officials who stopped by to spend time with our leadership and members.

In an interview shortly before his passing, Local 218 member Renato Favero talked about his extraordinary 102-year life, including 84 years in our union. Brother Favero was a World War II veteran, proud sheet metal worker, and a beloved family man: youtu.be/i1oCnVXB-KI?si…
