NYC union market share is only 27%. We can’t be a union that only does infrastructure—we must fight for every job in this city. Key projects across the city have gone non-union; we must take back our work.
If Paul wins, we all lose: loss of crafts from NYCDCC, threat to retiree medical benefits, continued non-union job growth, shrinking membership, loss of independence. Don’t let our union be sold out.
“9,000 members lost under Paul Capurso’s leadership.”
Our Plan to Make New York City Union Again
● Rebuild relationships with REBNY
● Rework 485x
● Put organizers back on the streets (not handing out turkeys)
● Dedicated organizers for every trade (Dock Builders, Timbermen, Floorcoverers, Millwrights, Cabinet Makers, etc.)
● Every rep will also be an organizer.
● Presence in every borough
● One point person per borough — accountable to the organizing director
