The building workers, members of the 32BJ Service Employee International Union - you the Bronx building superintendents, janitors and garbage handlers we support in your rally to demand for a fair work contract that protects your wages and benefits. We here in why did you join the union and on behalf of members of TWU Local 100 side with you against the Bronx Realty Advisory Board.
You are courageous - if you would go on strike so that you shut down those buildings you serve - we could just imagine those tenants who live in top floors who will have to use stairs instead of elevators. They will also have to remove their trash and garbage from their dwellings in addition to the maintenance of the buildings.
We side with you, you have a right to decent wages and benefits, you live in our communities, and you have families to support. We are against those fat cat landlords who have asked you to reduce your standard of living at the worst possible time. We hope you do not take a pay cut that is demanded by the BRAB, we here in why did you join the union say no to givebacks - it is outrageous. We wish you to lead the charge in the labor struggle by striking to set an example for those in Wisconsin, Ohio and elsewhere where the economic downturn is being used to strip workers of their rights. If you are forced to go on strike to earn a living wage then so be it.
