CHELSEA RESIDENTIAL WORKERS – ON ULP STRIKE!

Workers at 231 10th Ave, a luxury condominium on the High Line, are going on strike Thursday, October 10th and Friday, October 11th over Unfair Labor Practices. The workers, who make as little as $12 an hour in a building where one-bedroom apartments sell for $1.6 million, have been facing threats and intimidation.

The union has filed 10 unfair labor practice charges against the building, but the federal shutdown has closed the National Labor Relations Board making it unable to provide relief to the workers. The workers felt that striking was their only option.

The strikers will be out on both Thursday and Friday.  Come by during any of the following times:
