hanson-1108.jpgThose objecting to the employing of non-union workers at One Hanson Place now have their own Web site, writes Crain’s NY. And, yeah, they’re calling out Magic Johnson, co-developer (the site’s called nomagichealthcare.org). “The workers who keep One Hanson Place running don’t have access to affordable health care for their families. They are also being denied the pension benefits and job security other luxury building workers receive.” 32BJ folks plan to shadow Johnson during his rounds in NYC this week.

  1. It seems that republicans are fine with the living standards of US workers being dragged down to the standard of developing nations. used to be that we as a nation tried to encourage elevation of the standard of living in those countries.

    There is no substitute for a proper living wage, one that includes affordable healthcare and the ability to raise a family. How else can a country be measured?

  2. I think you should spend more of your energy railing against companies that don’t provide health insurance and other benefits rather than complaining about the ones that do.
    But perhaps if USA had universal health care – this wouldn’t be such an issue for employers or employees.

  3. Dave, it says right there that they don’t have what they deem affordable health care for their families; they say it’s a raw deal compared to union workers (any union workers out there, please weigh in!). Many of us, it’s true, pay a lot more than they will have to.

  4. Please stop enabling the misrepresentation of the facts.

    From the original brownstoner post: “The NY Daily News reports that ten of their workers will have to pay $300 a month for health insurance for each family member (their own health insurance will be covered)”

    THEY HAVE FREE HEALTHCARE AND HAVE ACCESS FOR THEIR FAMILIES AT A PRICE.

    That seems to be, in fact, a better deal than most of us who are non-union.

    Job security???? LMMFAO

    Pension Benefits? There are no new job openings anywhere that come with a pension other than most of these unions which may have been necessary historically for egregious employment practices but are now a drag on many sectors of economy and need to be busted.

    This post and the one on the store operator shooting the robbers reinforces my Republican tendencies.
