Shame on L&L Holdings, Cushman Wakefield, and Mastercard for allowing Topline Drywall to build new offices for Mastercard and not pay its carpenters the area standard wages and benefits at 150 5th Avenue in Manhattan!

The RAT is a contractor that DOES NOT PAY ALL ITS EMPLOYEES THE AREA STANDARD WAGES, including either providing or making payments for family health care and pension benefits. Cushman Wakefield has hired Topline Drywall to perform their carpentry work.

Shame on Cushman Wakefield and Topline Drywall for contributing to the erosion of area standards for New York City Carpenters.

The New York City District Council of Carpenters believes that Cushman Wakefield and Topline Drywall have an obligation to the community to see that area labor standards are met for construction work performed on any of their projects. They should not be allowed to insulate themselves behind “independent" contractors.

PLEASE CONTACT:
Cushman Wakefield: Richard Jantz (347) 486-4955
Mastercard: TWEET @AskMasterCard or CALL (800) 627-8372
L&L Holdings: William Potts (212) 920-3378
Topline Drywall: Toplinedrywall.com

Please tell them that you want them to do all they can to change this situation and see that AREA LABOR STANDARDS are met on all their projects.

Shame on Lululemon & STEADFAST Development for hiring McCormack Contracting, Inc. which does not pay its construction workers the area standard wages & benefits. Lululemon is famous for selling luxury $100 yoga pants yet thinks its ok to hire companies which don’t offer health or retirement benefits to its workers. Poor safety, low wages, no benefits, tax fraud, and insurance fraud are common amongst irresponsible contractors like McCormack in New York City. Put an end to worker exploitation now!

Send a message to Lululemon on it’s various social media platforms!

Shame on Epstein, Becker and Green Law Offices and CIFC Asset Management for devaluing the skills of New York City Carpenters by allowing Anfield Interiors and Swift Construction to build out their new offices at 875 3rd Ave, Manhattan. Anfield Interiors and Swift Construction does not pay a living wage or healthcare benefits to their workforce. The race to the bottom is ongoing. Greedy corporations & contractors continue to promote these unfair labor practices. The New York City District Council of Carpenters will continue the fight for all workers that deserve the ability to live and raise their families in NYC.
