tive: without an expansion
of union construction
careers, the Bronx will
leave residents, especially
immigrants and people
of color, vulnerable to
poverty wages, economic
stagnation, and exploitation
whenever they work
on unregulated construction
sites.
We must do better
than that. Irresponsible
construction is not the
path forward.
The Bronx is one of
the last bastions of real
affordability and economic
diversity in urban
America. It’s time to
expand opportunities for
long-term residents and
new arrivals to ensure
that the gains of economic
growth in the Bronx
are shared equitably.
Let’s be honest: Union
construction careers can
lift more working class
Bronx residents into the
middle class than industries
like tech and finance
that require expensive
advanced degrees.
That’s crucial to keep
in mind during a period
when cities offer fewer
economic advantages to
workers without college
degrees, as a recent analysis
by M.I.T. economists
reveals.
Our elected officials
should recognize that our
city needs more sustainable
middle class careers
for current and future
Bronx residents who work
with their hands to build
homes and neighborhoods.
Dignity is not the
entitlement of those who
sit in an office behind a
desk; it’s a fundamental
right of all workers that
must be protected and
preserved.
The Bronx can and
should be at the forefront
of New York City’s next
middle class — if our
city and state invest in a
stronger push to make
union construction the
way we build.

It is important to

It is also wise to maintain
