“We, and a number of other pastors who lead congregations in NYC, are in vocal support of the Construction Justice Act, which would pay a $40/hour minimum wage on all low-income housing construction projects.”

OP-ED: "New York City is in the midst of an affordability crisis. Housing and food costs are up, and people are worried about how they are going to make ends meet." amsterdamnews.com/news/2025/11/2…



“A year after it was introduced, advocates are still pushing for the passage of the Construction Justice Act. A coalition of activists, workers and community leaders rallied outside City Hall to demand that Intro. 910 be put to a vote” @stephaniemeditz

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

#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:

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/…
