#LIUNA is committed to safety for ALL workers. As we learn more about what could have been done to prevent Amber Czech’s tragic, undeserved death, we owe it to her name, to her honor, and to all of us to act. Watch @GPBrentBooker's statement:

От LIUNA

Solidarity! “Said Edwin Auguste, a 50-year-old member of @local79nyc who currently works at JFK. “It’s pretty empty in the store right now. I live in the neighborhood, and this Starbucks is pretty much always full. And today it’s not like that at all.” theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Advocates are still calling on elected officials to hold a vote on Intro. 910, which would in part set a wage floor for construction workers on city-funded affordable housing projects. It has stalled in committee for more than a year. bit.ly/4oqHjnz

"The investigation, launched in 2022 after a referral from Laborers Local 79, found that between 2016 & 2024, Alba failed to report hundreds of workplace injuries and instructed employees not to file workers’ compensation claims." @amNewYork @AdamDalyNews amny.com/politics/const…

📣WHOSE BRONX?! OUR BRONX! 📣 After 30 long years, a landmark Community Benefits Agreement for the Kingsbridge Armory redevelopment has been made and we couldn’t have gotten here without our Local 79 Bronx Brigade Captains. ✊ #TogetherForKingsbridge @northwestbronx @CMPiSanchez


"The settlement comes after the laborers’ union, Local 79, launched a public campaign against the firm...The Attorney General’s office began investigating Alba in 2022, after receiving information from the union." @trdny @katiebrenzel therealdeal.com/new-york/2025/…

🎥 Watch @LIUNA VP @whosescity on the #Lockout Shutdown, imperiled @GatewayProgNews funding, the impact on #Union families & the clear lines drawn between @MikieSherrill, who's fighting with us to restore funding, and @Jack4NJ, who's fought against Gateway his whole career.
