Rep. @AOC joined the picket line of the Hunts Point Market
Last weekend, union members went on strike for the first time in more than 35 years when they failed to reach an agreement on a new contract with ownership. Monday night, tensions boiled over, as several members were arrested after temporarily blocking trucks from entering the market.
Right now, union members earn a base salary between $40,000 and $45,000 per year without overtime.
