Ironworker in NYC

My 2 cents:
Almost all of the union construction workers in the New York area have taken a 20 percent pay cut to keep the non-union tide at bay. Developers claim they are losing money on their projects due to labor costs. However, rents are high and inventory is low. Their claims are ridiculous. They are not losing money, they feel entitled to every last dime. This is the corporate business model, and it has no socio-economic conscience.
