Who are the The Cement League
Carpenters across New York City are fighting back against a little known but powerful group of concrete contractors known as The Cement League. The Cement League of New York dominates the Concrete Industry in New York City. Their ambiguous website shares little information about who they are or what they do.
The Carpenters working on New York’s hi-rise hotels and apartment buildings have sacrificed, year after year, in all weather, working without a raise since June of 2010 while real estate prices have skyrocketed.
Each week we read another article of record setting prices for apartments and penthouses while The Cement League seeks to drive down wages and benefits for Carpenters building wealth. The New York Real Estate Industry and its dubious partners in The Cement League have taken greed to a new level. The Cement League and its member contractors are determined to wipe out middle class New Yorkers.
While all other Contractor Associations in New York City’s vast Construction Industry have negotiated fair contracts for their workforce, one organization, The Cement League has moved to betray & undermine their employees in a greedy stab for more money.

I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.
Mob <> Cement league, like PB&J.
ReplyDeleteThey lost out on a lot o scratch since DW arrived and are looking for a wider margin to steal from.
Drive down wages & get maximum return from crime.

ReplyDeleteBut the sensitive, long, and tasking processes that the preparation of the concrete itself up to the erecting of scaffolds and bars to be filled up with concrete aren't entirely simplistic.

Glad to see the carpenters in New York city were able to fight back again though I was actually interested getting information on concrete contractors and companies in San Francisco area. Hence, happy to see that the other Contractor Associations were tried to have negotiated fair contracts for their workforce. Thanks for sharing such an important issue.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Cement League in New Your city is the top most powerful concrete contractor working long. But really it is regretful to see that such reputed company is trying to diminish the actually wage rights of the labors. Hope the authority will take a hand in the issue. Anyway, any home owners in Sacramento is needed to fix any concrete issue, Sacramento Concrete surely handle the required task by their skilled and professional concrete team with affordable deal.
