Rank-and-file members of Local 3, IBEW joined members of the building trades unions and the Kingsbridge, Bronx community for a rally on Sunday, September 17th supporting renovation proposals to the historic Kingsbridge Armory that will meet the needs of residents and organized labor. The rally was spearheaded by Councilwoman Pierina Sanchez, Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition chairwoman Sandra Lobo, and more than 200 people representing at least a dozen local unions.
The coalition of community activists and trade unionists has held multiple rallies so far under the shared goal that whatever the Armory will become, it must include good-paying union jobs and investments benefitting local residents.
