March for Jobs and Economic Fairness! 

Updated On: Nov 21, 2011 (13:11:00)

There are 14 million unemployed in America, while the
richest 1% has tripled its wealth over the past 30 years.

March for Jobs and Economic Fairness

December 1st, 4pm - Herald Sq to Union Sq

Everyday, we see hard-working families struggling to survive.

That is why we are marching on Dec. 1. It's not just for the labor movement, but
for everyone who is frustrated and worried about the growing economic disparity
in this country. It's for anyone who has ever agonized about finding a job, paying
for college, meeting a mortgage payment, or how to buy enough food for dinner.
The March for Jobs and Economic Fairness on Dec. 1 is a call to action and a
show of unity -- we want to march down Broadway from Herald Square to Union
Square and fill the street from curb to curb so government and big business get
our message: enough is enough.

It's time to end the unfair economic policies in this country that
benefit too few, and leave everyone else behind.

BTEA Protest, Tue, May 24, 5:00 PM

Union Rank-and-File Organized

Rally to Protest the BTEA

Time: Tuesday, May 24 - 5:00pm - 8:00pm

Location: BTEA Leadership Dinner, Cipriani Wall Street

55 Wall Street (Between William St. and Hanover St.)

In March, the Building Trades Employers’ Association (BTEA) launched a campaign called "Build Union Jobs," consisting of subway advertisements, a website, and opinion-editorials in the press to coerce rank-and-file construction workers into accepting concessions, even as they planned their annual $750 plate dinner.

In response, rank-and-file building trades workers, in opposition to mob influence, corporate greed, mismanagement, corrupt bureaucracy, and United Brotherhood of Carpenters President Douglas J. McCarron's union raiding tactics, have put out an industry wide call for a rally to protest the BTEA Leadership Dinner.

With 30 collective bargaining agreements to be re-negotiated by June 30, 2011, Louis J. Coletti, President of the BTEA, sent a letter to Gary LaBarbera, President of the Building Construction Trades Council (BCTC,) titled "Roadmap to Recovery," presenting the BTEA's "Framework for Reducing Union Costs," a 26 point list of demands calling for a 20% reduction of employee wages and benefits.

The Wall-Ceiling & Carpentry Industries of New York is a Member of the BTEA. Last year its director, Joseph Olivieri, was found to have been involved in extorting the Carpenters Union, while tied to labor racketeer Vincent DiNapoli, and was convicted of perjury.

Like BTEA honoree Larry Silverstein, developers, property owners, and contractors are millionaires and billionaires from profits reaped through the difficult, hazardous, and highly skilled labor of union construction workers.

Driven by the desire to increase profits, the BTEA is opportunistically seeking to deprive all construction workers, union and non-union, of security and a decent standard of living.

New York City’s rank-and-file construction workers condemn Louis J. Coletti, the BTEA’s “roadmap” to poverty, “framework” for profit, and their celebration, at 55 Wall Street, on Tuesday May 24^th 2011.
