Over 250 HTC members turned out at Borough Hall to rally for union jobs and safer working conditions. HTC joined many other unions as a part of Build Up NYC to get the word out. Two workers have died at construction sites in Brooklyn in the last two months and union members came forward to say enough! Below is a sample of the many members who attended the rally. Be sure to check for more photos soon.
