Today, 08:20 AM

New York State has dropped it's Project Labor Agreement covering road construction improvements on Interstate 81, in an effort to secure Trump's approval for that construction funding.
Another casualty for organized labors' standing in the struggle for workers' rights,under the Trump/MAGA movement.

syracuse.com on Instagram: "New York state will not require contractors on a $2.1 billion Interstate 81 contract to hire union workers for the first time on the largest ever transportation project in the state. The DOT has dropped the project labor agreement it used for the first half of the I-81 project as a preemptive measure to get approval for federal funding from President Donald Trump’s administration, state and federal officials said. Read the full story linked in our bio."
