@rbreich.bsky.social / inequalitymedia📸: 📢 American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar.

Why? This chart has the answer.

We demand accountability and wages that reflect the reality of what it means to be a residential construction worker.

When it rains, it really pours for residential construction workers. Countless workers will miss out on the wages they deserve. When it rains, they are not able to work; there is no such thing as a paid vacation.

To attract a stable and local workforce, and rid the industry of these disastrous working conditions, the City of Los Angeles needs a minimum wage and a private right of action for residential construction workers.

#WhoBuildsLA #LaborRights #WorkerJustice

Residential construction workers in Los Angeles are grossly underpaid by national and local standards, face heightened immigration enforcement, rampant wage theft, and safety violations. These workers are severely exploited, and the industry has little oversight.

Thank you to our partner, Beacon House Association of San Pedro. Together, we can make a difference.

Share this with anyone interested in joining a pre-apprenticeship program, as we will need an estimated 50,000 construction workers to rebuild the damage caused by the Altadena and Palisades fires.

As we wait for the study to begin, we want to thank Los Angeles City Councilmember Bob Blumenfield for his support of the study.

It is important to celebrate Black History Month, and it is also important to put in the work year-round to support workers - we appreciate you!

We want to acknowledge our coalition partners, Brotherhood Crusade, Community Coalition, LA Black Worker Center, and the LA Urban League.

Listen to the challenges residential construction workers face, in their own words. 

There is not a day that goes by without a worker being exploited. In Los Angeles, we can do something about it.

Have you ever looked around and wondered what is holding up construction? Los Angeles looks so UNFINISHED! Per a recent article in the New York Times, “... labor shortages are the leading cause of construction delays...” 

#WhoBuildsLA #AffordableHousing #ImmigrantsAreLA

New York Times - "Where Did All the American-Born Roofers Go?” It is a must-read, but don't worry, we included the highlights. They lay out the clear need for more construction workers.

We need more workers, and we need to end the exploitation of the residential construction workforce–the very workers tasked with building the housing lost in the fires. Most cannot afford to live in the city they are helping to rebuild.

We cannot heal if we can’t build.

As we enter the anniversary of the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, we reflect on all the pain left behind. 

The question we urgently still need to answer: Who will build the housing to solve L.A.’s housing crisis, exasperated by such loss in the fires?

“Yet low wages, immigration raids, misclassification, and wage theft continue to drive workers out of this vital industry.”

#ImmigrantsAreLA #WhoBuildsLA #LaborRights

“Our region faces a dual crisis: a severe housing shortage and a shrinking pool of construction workers. To meet our housing goals, Los Angeles needs tens of thousands of additional workers.“

As Centro CHA, Inc. made clear:

In the new year, we continue to fight for residential construction workers!
